After both you and your wife have reviewed the website, please download, print and complete the Medical History, Insurance and Consent forms. In order to download these forms you will be asked to acknowledge a disclaimer indicating that both you and your wife have reviewed and understand all the information provided. You and your wife will need to sign the consent form prior to your vasectomy. The form can be signed at home or in the office.
You will need to schedule two appointments-- one for your consultation which includes the history and physical exam, and one for the vasectomy. Your wife or significant other may accompany you for your consultation; although, it is not necessary. We strongly recommend that your wife, significant other or friend accompany, and drive you home the day of your vasectomy. This recommendation is made with your safety in mind. A patient who takes Valium prior to his procedure or receives intravenous (IV) sedation absolutely cannot drive himself home as these medications affect your judgment and reflexes.
The scheduling of your two appointments will be done by either our central scheduler, or by one of our front desk receptionists. Our central scheduler does the majority of scheduling which is accomplished by phone or email. Our front desk receptionists schedule patients who are physically present in our office.
To schedule your consultation and vasectomy, you can call our office during normal business hours, follow the voice prompts and speak to or leave a message for our central scheduler. Our central scheduler will make you an appointment for your consultation. (S)he cannot schedule your vasectomy utilizing this option. On the day of your visit, our front desk receptionist will coordinate the scheduling of your vasectomy. In order to facilitate the scheduling of your vasectomy please have your day planner available. When the vasectomy is scheduled, a $350 deposit is required to reserve your surgery time slot.
Please note, when choosing a date for your vasectomy, you must have sufficient time available to complete your required consultation prior to your vasectomy. In general, we recommend that your consultation be accomplished at least one week before your vasectomy.
