Specializes in Family Medicine

Vasectomy: Most doctors have an initial appointment to provide education on the procedure and it's risks, benefits, and alternatives. The actual surgery is then done at a follow on appointment. However, this is not universal, so a quick call to the doctors office is warranted to answer the question.
