Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Most insurance plans cover the procedure completely or with a low copay. We’ll help you verify coverage and understand any costs upfront.
Our vasectomy process is designed to be easy and convenient, while giving you the highest quality of care. Here is what a typical process looks like:
- Booking your initial consult: Flexible scheduling, with virtual and in-person options—move at your pace
- Scheduling your procedure: Scheduling your procedure is easy—we have appointments available within just a few days to a couple of weeks
- Procedure day: Quick 15-minute treatment performed under local anesthesia by one of our expert fellowship-trained microsurgeons, about a 45-minute total visit
- Recovery: 2–3 days of minimal to light activity (spend the weekend relaxing on the couch!); 7–14 days for full recovery
Confirmed sterility: Around 12 weeks with a follow-up semen analysis
The actual procedure takes about 10–15 minutes. Expect to be in and out of the office in about an hour.
Most people return to non-strenuous work in 2–3 days, with full recovery in 7–14 days.
It’s done under local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Mild soreness afterward is normal, but most patients describe it as easier than they expected.
We’ll guide you through simple prep steps during your virtual or in-person consult. It’s straightforward, stress-free, and designed to answer all your questions.
About 3 months later, you’ll do a semen analysis to confirm sterility. We keep it easy and clear so there’s no guesswork.
We recommend considering sperm cryopreservation before your procedure. Freezing a sample now keeps your options open and we can help you with that too. We also offer Vasectomy Reversal but that’s a far more involved process. Learn more about that here.
