My husband, myself, and a trusted relative (in the medical field) were all present during the consultation and he [Dr. Haney] took the time to make sure all our questions were answered...was very upfront about what to expect, the process, and the outcome. He delivered exactly what he said he would with a pre-pregnancy TAC surgery to prepare for the next fertility treatment cycle. He did all of this with a supportive bedside manner...The TAC can be completed [by Dr. Arthur Haney] pre-pregnancy or during pregnancy though it was recommended pre-pregnancy if possible (which was our preference anyway). The data on TAC for incompetent cervix has better outcomes than a preventive vaginal cerclage.
I was able to get insurance coverage for my surgery after appealing with UHC. I had to follow-up after surgery as well though it was covered in the end...was professional and the setting was positive for recovery. It was a comfortable waiting area with a great view and amazing food for a hospital stay! The typical stay for the surgery is 23 hours, the remainder of the recuperation is at home...The TAC can be completed pre-pregnancy or during pregnancy though it was recommended pre-pregnancy if possible (which was our preference anyway). The data on TAC for incompetent cervix has better outcomes than a preventive vaginal cerclage. Do your own research, advocate for yourself, and get support along the way!
