Vasectomy

A vasectomy is a brief office procedure and one of the most reliable forms of permanent contraception. The decision deserves a real conversation; the procedure itself is simpler than most men expect.

The decision

A vasectomy should be treated as permanent — that is its point. The consult covers how the procedure works, recovery, effectiveness, and the questions worth settling beforehand. It is a conversation, not a sales pitch; men who are unsure are told to take their time.

The procedure

The vasectomy itself is done in the office under local anesthesia and takes well under an hour door to door. Discomfort is brief and manageable; most men are back to desk work in a day or two and back to full activity within about a week, with specific guidance provided for your situation.

Afterward

A vasectomy is not effective immediately — a follow-up semen test confirms success before you rely on it. We schedule that check as part of the process, so nothing is left to assumption.
