The vasectomy procedure itself is an easy outpatient procedure that only takes about 20 minutes. On the day of your procedure you should expect to spend 60 - 90 minutes at our facility.
Get in touch and we’ll send you what upcoming day/times we have availability for appointments. Contacting our team with this form is not officially scheduling or committing you to anything.
Many insurance plans cover vasectomies, but it’s best to check with your provider to confirm coverage and any out-of-pocket costs. If you are not using any insurance for your procedure a vasectomy is typically around $850. Give us a call and we can give you our current pricing for the procedure.
We also offer optional nitrous oxide or “Laughing Gas” for our procedures. This service is not billed to insurance. The patient would be billed and pay separately for this service. The cost is $75.00
Most men experience little to no pain during the procedure because a local anesthetic is used. Some mild discomfort or swelling may occur afterward, but it typically resolves in a few days. If you have a history of anxiety around needles, dentistry, other medical procedures you may opt for using nitrous oxide to provide a distraction and potential relief to that anxiety.
A vasectomy usually takes about 20–30 minutes and is done as an outpatient procedure over about 60 - 90 minutes.
Most men can return to light activities within a day or two. Full recovery and resuming strenuous activities usually take about a week.
While vasectomy reversals are possible, they are more complex, expensive, and not always successful. A vasectomy should be considered a permanent decision.
No, a vasectomy doesn’t affect testosterone levels, sex drive, erections, or the ability to ejaculate. In fact, some men feel more relaxed knowing they no longer need to worry about contraception.
A vasectomy isn’t immediately effective. It may take several weeks or months to clear sperm from the system, so alternative contraception is needed until follow-up tests confirm zero sperm in the semen.
The risks are minimal, but possible side effects include mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort. Extremely rare complications include infection or chronic pain, which can usually be managed effectively.
No, a vasectomy doesn’t impact hormone levels, masculinity, or physical traits like body hair or muscle mass.
After a successful vasectomy and confirmed absence of sperm, you cannot naturally father children. Consider sperm banking if you want to preserve the option.
