Our DrSnip Vasectomy Technique uses a no-needle, no-scalpel approach to provide a secure procedure with minimal discomfort, so you can relax knowing you’re in expert hands.
Decades of Experience, Thousands of Happy Patients
Our physicians have proudly performed over 60,000 vasectomies since 1987. When it comes to permanent birth control, you want a provider who does this all day, every day. That’s us.
Faster Recovery

How the DrSnip Vasectomy Works
No-needle numbing
A quick hypospray — no sharp pokes.
No-scalpel access
A tiny opening, not a larger incision.
Permanent seal
Tubes are safely cauterized for long-term results.
Extremely welcoming, friendly, and professional. The whole process exceeded my expectations. Fortunately, it's an experience you only have to go through once, but if i had to, I would go back to Dr. Snip. Highly highly recommend
The place to go for those looking to get this procedure done. Complete professionals who answered all my questions and concerns preop and made sure that when the time came the procedure itself was quick and as painless as can be. Highly recommend!
These guys knocked it out of the park. I was as in my head as one can be going into this sort of thing, came close to passing out once and if it wasn’t for how awesome the entire staff was I think I would have backed out. Fantastic all around, minimal down time and looking back the procedure itself wasn’t bad at all. Highly recommend!
Wonderful experience beginning to end. Great office staff and pleasant environment. They made the procedure fun and easy. It was super quick. The recovery for my husband has been really well received and easier than expected. He is really happy!
Great and kind staff! The experience was amazing. Everything is very straightforward and explained. Definitely consider going here to get your procedure done. Absolutely worth the 2.5 hour drive each way to do! It was also less hassle going directly to a clinic dedicated to this kind of thing. They will take great care of you.
All the 5 star reviews on here are true. I travelled 2 1/2 hours to do my Vasectomy at DrSnip because of all the recommendations. I had so much anxiety about this up and until it was over, but the Doctor's and all staff make it as stress free as possible.
I have to say I was very nervous. The staff was so nice and comforting. The doctors that did my procedure were very professional and made the whole process very relaxed and quick. The day after was a little uncomfortable but not at all what my mind was thinking it was going to be. Just remember to relax. Thanks to all of you!
Personable, professional and proficient. From the moment I stepped it until my wife picked me up. The staff and doctor were everything above and more. It was quick, practically painless and educational. Plus you get a knife at the end.
I was very nervous about this and after basically my entire friend group got theirs, and hearing their stories, decided to do it. It was very easy. Not a big deal at all. And the staff was very aware of the situation and extremely helpful.
Overall as pleasant and easy of an experience one could hope for. I would highly recommend Dr. Snip for anyone looking to get a Vasectomy done. You won't regret it.
Overall a fantastic experience. The intake process was seamless and provided a quick appointment day off. My appointment was initially cancelled due to weather but quickly rescheduled within a few days. I would highly recommend getting your procedure here as the entire experience was painless.
Stop looking elsewhere or wondering if Dr Snip is the way to go. It is, and you won’t regret it. Smooth, personable, professional, and efficient throughout from appointment inquiry to follow-up.
Dr. Snip and his team made the experience as relaxing and easy as they possible can. Would highly suggest them to anyone interested in getting a vasectomy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vasectomies
Yes, it’s considered permanent. While reversals exist, they’re expensive, not always effective, and not offered at DrSnip.
Most patients clear after one test, but about 5-10% need a second. It’s important to know that, if offered, repeat testing is free when done through DrSnip’s in-house lab. If you choose third-party testing, any repeat tests are an out-of-pocket expense.
Don’t worry, it almost always just means your body needs more time to clear. We’ll guide you through another round of testing until you’re officially considered “all clear.”
No. In fact, it’s important to have at least 15 ejaculations before your first test to help ensure accurate results. Be sure to keep using another form of birth control until your test confirms that the procedure was successful.
No. Semen testing at DrSnip is only available to patients who had their vasectomy performed here. If your procedure was done elsewhere, you’ll need to arrange testing through your original provider.
