Erin Paskey

Erin Paskey always wanted a son and recently that dream came true — in large part due to Shawn Ramsey, DO, OB-GYN. Erin has children from a previous relationship — two girls, ages 18 and seven. She had her tubes tied in March 2018 after the birth of her daughter.

Erin's current partner did not have any children of his own and after some research, they decided to see what options there were when it came to having another baby. Miles Byrd, MD, OB-GYN referred Erin to his colleague, Dr. Ramsey to see if she would be a good candidate for tubal-reversal surgery. Erin met with Dr. Ramsey in Dec. 2022 and had a tubal reversal in Feb. 2023. Dr. Ramsey is one of a handful of physicians that perform this procedure in North Florida.

Erin says, "The tubal reversal surgery was done as an outpatient procedure, and the robotic device was used. I have two small incision scars on each side of the abdomen. The recovery was very short; I was back doing my normal daily activities within a couple days and with minimal pain. I appreciated that Dr. Ramsey told me that I had a good chance at getting pregnant – he never gave me a percentage of my chances, which gave me more hope. Dr. Ramsey advised me to wait at least six months before trying to conceive. We found I was pregnant in Oct. 2024. The pregnancy was very normal."

She goes on to say. "I had a great experience at HCA Florida Capital Hospital — from being prepped for my c-section to the day I got discharged — the nurses were all extremely caring and helpful. Asher Henry Rye was born in July, and we couldn't have been happier. Asher had to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for two days and it was sad and scary for us. The NICU nurses were wonderful with Asher, and we felt confident he was in great hands."

"My experience with Dr. Ramsey and the team at HCA Florida Capital Hospital was great. I would do the entire journey all over again. I cannot express my gratitude for the excellent care I received. It meant so much to have another baby. I can say right now my family feels complete and I'm very grateful!"
