Had
my
vasectomy
performed
by
Dr
Dumais,
who
has
taken
over
for
Dr
Weiss
who
has
since
retired.
She
was
absolutely
excellent.
Great
bedside
manner,
clear
explanations
of
what
was
happening
and
any
potential
discomfort
that
might
be
felt
during
each
step.
Entire
procedure
from
freezing
to
finish
took
under
10
minutes.
Before
beginning
Dr
Bercier
confirmed
my
age
(31),
that
I
had
no
children,
and
that
I
was
100%
certain
I
never
wanted
to
have
any
(and
that
my
partner
felt
the
same
way).
She
reiterated
that
while
surgical
reversal
is
sometimes
possible,
the
procedure
should
be
considered
permanent.
Nurses/office
staff
were
friendly
and
efficient.
Got
up
from
the
table
a
bit
too
quick
and
ended
up
sitting
down
in
the
chair
and
fainting.
They
were
right
on
top
of
things
and
immediately
went
into
their
usual
routine
for
when
those
things
happen.
We
had
a
little
chuckle
about
it,
and
at
no
point
did
it
feel
weird
or
judgemental
which
I
very
much
appreciated.
A
couple
of
other
notes
based
on
some
things
mentioned
in
a
few
other
reviews
here:
-
Total
out
of
pocket
fees
are
$170,
consisting
of
a
$20
deposit
and
$150
on
the
day
of
the
procedure.
Those
costs
are
detailed
in
the
attached
photo
of
the
“Pre
and
Post
Vasectomy
Kit”.
As
detailed
on
the
page
patients
can
choose
to
pay
only
for
the
specific
items/services
they
want,
and
they
also
give
you
a
week
post-procedure
to
request
a
refund
and
pay
only
for
the
needed
items.
This
information
is
not
provided
anywhere
before
going
in,
so
most
will
just
pay
the
$170
and
be
done
with
it.
While
some
of
these
costs
are
certainly
quite
highly
inflated,
they
do
help
make
up
for
the
fairly
minimal
compensation
the
clinic
receives
from
OHIP
for
each
procedure.
-
Website
is
a
bit
of
a
mess,
although
most
of
the
important
bits
are
easy
to
find
(and
all
the
most
important
info
is
attached
to
the
emails
you’ll
get).
Specifically
one
thing
they
have
changed
is
that
you
do
*not*
need
to
travel
to
the
office
to
pick
up
your
vasectomy
package
before
the
procedure!
You
are
given
it
after
your
appointment
just
before
leaving.
-
To
the
few
complaining
about
pain/discomfort
lasting
more
than
the
first
week
and
“not
being
made
aware
of
the
risks”…
did
you
not
bother
to
fully
read
through
the
documentation
available
both
on
the
website
as
well
as
repeatedly
sent
to
you
in
the
emails?
All
of
the
risks
and
rates
of
various
complications
are
explicitly
laid
out
in
advance.
Every
body
is
different,
and
there
is
a
small
chance
of
a
variety
of
complications.
Choosing
to
ignore
the
provided
information
and
then
complaining
that
you
wouldn’t
have
gone
through
with
it
if
you
knew
is
just
ridiculous.
One
last
recommendation
for
the
doctors
here:
I
highly
recommend
investing
the
few
thousand
dollars
towards
having
a
professional
web
design
company
re-build
you
a
new
website
from
the
ground
up.
The
current
site
is
a
mess,
particularly
on
modern
phones,
and
this
is
something
that
will
radically
improve
the
patient
experience.
Edit
2023/10/24:
Wow,
the
new
website
is
looking
great!
