Vasectomy doc recommendations?

[Big A]

I just had the "no scalpel" procedure done by Dr. Mootha in Richardson, and I'm still pain-free 3 hours later. The incision is made with a high-powered numbing spray, which feels like a light pop from a rubber band. I felt 6 sprays, decreasing in "thump" each time, and after that the only pain was what I was experiencing in my mind. The worst part of the experience imo, was the smell from the cauterizing. So much worse in my mind than was actually experienced.

The pre-sterilization wipe down wasn't bad either (female nurse), last sensual contact I'll have for a week. lol

THE FUCK DID I DO TO YOU! lol

man with a teenage girl, two car payments, and trying to move this year, if someone's offering me 1k an hour for some unspeakable act I might just hear them out. lol

but to your original point, This is the kind of thing you really don't want to decide on based on price.

Believe it or not, I originally went with this company because of the less pain procedure. My normal urologist wanted to do the scalpel and I was like...nope...

But yeah, I am fully responsible for my copay up until my deductible. My health insurance sucks, but at least I have some insurance that has a few perks...copays/low deductible is not one of them.

You'd think most insurance companies would pay for this, as birthing a kid is far more expensive. $4500 vs $500...

Considering you're in and out in maybe 30-35 minutes, $500+ doesn't sound so cheap.

4bangen told me he made $1,000/hour one time but he couldn't sit down for a week after the job was done. I didn't ask any questions.

man, I don't know that "cheap" would be a deciding factor for someone to be snipping around down there.

I had to pay like $300 at the time of the procedure, then a few weeks later they called me to tell me I was getting a refund because insurance ended up covering it. I do not regret getting it done, even though mine was quite painful and traumatic. lol

If you're responsible for is a copay, then hell yeah, even more money saved.

I think I paid $20 or 25 for mine as a copay like goin in for an earache.

Next time you get one I recommend Gentle Procedures in Plano.

Just booked my appointment with them for next month.

Funny thing is they were the cheapest out there for my particular insurance and out of pocket. $585 that I should get back once my third kid is born and sends us wayyyy over the yearly deductible.

Did he accept major healthcare (I have UHC)?


I'm planning on getting snipped in January right before my 3rd (and last) child is born.

Also, good to see they do it on Fridays. It'd be nice to take the day off, get snipped then ice pack/netflix it over the weekend + Monday

I have BCBS, they covered it all. Yeah gf told me she was pregnant with our 2nd, so I went ahead and got snipped. My experience wasn't bad at all, it's more in your head leading up to it.

I had mine done yesterday, it was painless. I highly recommend Dr. Pickens at Urology clinics of North Texas. Drove myself there and back.

This. There are too many no-needle, no-scalpel docs in town to even consider going any other route.

Anxiety was the worst part of my procedure. The procedure wasn't 100% painless but it wasn't too bad, the real discomfort was after the fact when my nuts swelled to epic proportions. I felt like SVO for a few days there.

I only had the one incision, and one stich. It wouldn't have been bad except for the valium and lidocaine not doing their job. I was stressed as hell and it complicated everything.
It's a little over a week now, and I'm 90% better.

Dang, how do they get in there? Mine was approximately 13 years ago but thankfully the process was advanced enough where only 2 little bitty incisions were made.

Picture an ice pick poked into your sack. Tiny hole and they pull the vas out with a tiny hook, do their thing and put it back in.

I probably shouldn't have watched but I couldn't help myself. I also watched every second of my first wife's C-section. Crazy shit there.

This sounds a lot like you started a thread looking for recommendations, then didn’t actually listen to any of them.
