Values and Standards Shared by the Physicians of VasWeb.

Welcome to VasWeb Vasectomy Doctors, a Community of some of America's most dedicated and experienced vasectomy providers.

The Most Important Value of VasWeb is that you, the Vasectomy Consumer/Patient have a good vasectomy experience . What is a good experience?

  1. Ease of scheduling: Does the office provide fees for consultation and procedure up front? Does the office teach you how determine whether your insurance will cover the procedure even before your first visit? Is it easy to get appointment times that work well for you?
  2. A faverable impression of the office and staff: Is the office neat and clean? Are the staff friendly and helpful?
  3. A favorable impression of the physician's personal skills : Was the physician friendly and did he or she put you at ease? Did he or she take time to answer any questions that were not answered on his or her website?
  4. A favorable impression of the procedure: Did it hurt? Was your modesty respected, given the personal nature of the procedure? Were the post-vasectomy instructions clear?
  5. A favorable impression of your post-vasectomy care : Was the doctor readily available to handle questions or concerns even after hours?
In order to determine whether offices are providing good vasectomy experiences, VasWeb calls upon you to rate the practice that provided the service. These ratings are monitored in an anonymous way by the Administrative Staff of VasWeb. In essence, VasWeb is like a TripAdvisor or Angie's List rating system for vasectomy providers . You may have chosen a Vasectomist from this site knowing that he or she is being monitored and has had overwhelmingly positive reviews by other patients. Your review of your experience one month after your procedure date is CRITICAL to the continued success of VasWeb as a repository of practices that provide pleasant vasectomy experiences

VasWeb does not dictate practice management or procedural details to its physicians. The ultimate goal is that you have a pleasant vasectomy experience with a low risk of complications and failure. Physicians vary in personality and style and what works for one physician may not be the best approach for another. But we would hope that all offices follow a basic set of standards:

  1. Easy acquisition of information about vasectomy,
  2. Understanding and appreciation of the American Urological Association Vasectomy Guidelines,
  3. Performance of a nearly painless vasectomy using a highly effective technique with few complications,
  4. Diligent follow-up to include timely calls​, texts or emails to check on your post procedure status; compassionate management of post-vasectomy problems or concerns; and easy post-vasectomy semen checks.
  5. A belief that vasectomy should be available for all income groups and a commitment to offer vasectomy services at a discounted rate to uninsured men of low income.
  6. A belief that a consumer-driven ratings system will enhance the quality of vasectomy services nationwide and thereby the overall reputation and acceptance of vasectomy , decreasing the risks to women imposed by alternative forms of contraception and the unintended pregnancies that result when using those less-dependable forms of contraception.
Some VasWeb doctors have trained or worked with Dr. Doug Stein, the Founder of VasWeb:

  1. America's most experienced vasectomist,
  2. author of the Vasectomy chapter of the leading textbook of urologic surgery,
  3. Development Director of No-Scalpel Vasectomy International, Inc.,
  4. subject of the documentary film "The Vasectomist",
  5. Co-Founder of World Vasectomy Day.
Most share his values when it comes to vasectomy:

  1. Easy Acquisition of information about vasectomy,
  2. Understanding and appreciation of the American Urological Association Vasectomy Guidelines,
  3. Performance of a nearly painless vasectomy using a highly effective technique with few complications,
  4. Diligent follow-up to include day-after calls, compassionate management of post-vasectomy problems or concerns, and easy post-vasectomy semen checks.
Many believe that vasectomy should be available for all income groups and have offered vasectomy services at a discounted rate to uninsured men of low income in their own communities. Some have even participated in overseas vasectomy missions with No-Scalpel Vasectomy International.

YOU, our patients, are the most important contributors to VasWeb. Your favorable ratings will give other men the confidence to proceed with vasectomy, while your ​more critical ratings will help Vas Web doctors improve and overcome their weaknesses. We want EVERYONE to have a good vasectomy experience. YOU CAN HELP. Please agree to rate your doctor and his staff during the registration process, and respond to the rating e-mail that you receive one month after your procedure. Thank you.
