Entire process and communication throughout was excellent. I knew exactly what to expect and was well taken care of. I chose the right/best place for the vicectomy. The Dr is funny with a relaxed vibe that helped ease the nerves. Highly recommend.
Kellan D.
Everyone was very friendly and professional and the procedure was shorter than the consultation, about 15 minutes. The doctor was easy to talk to and explained exactly what would happen and then gave updates during the procedure. He also encouraged me to let him know what I could feel so he could give more anesthetic. Great experience considering what I was there for!
Brian W.
I stressed about getting a vasectomy for years, but the DrSnip clinic in Portland made it easy. The staff was friendly, the procedure was quick. A single incision and no extra needles helped, and the healing process was quick. An independent test confirmed that the procedure was successful. The DrSnip multi tool was a nice touch too!
Jacob S.
This place is amazing! In and out within an hour and a half. Painless experience and the Doc and other staff were super nice and made sure I was comfortable! 10/10 experience and would recommend to anyone looking to get a vasectomy.

What to Expect From Your Vasectomy at DrSnip
Before your procedure, your DrSnip physician will explain what will happen and allow you to ask questions. The vasectomy itself generally takes only 10–15 minutes.
Afterward, you’ll return home with instructions for rest, activity, and recovery. Mild soreness, tenderness, or swelling can occur during the first few days.
Post-Vasectomy Care & Semen Testing
Your care doesn’t end when you leave the clinic. DrSnip provides post-vasectomy instructions to help you understand what activities to avoid and when you can gradually return to your normal routine. A DrSnip physician is also available 24/7 for urgent concerns following your procedure.
Most importantly, a vasectomy does not provide immediate sterility. You must continue using another form of birth control until your post-vasectomy semen test confirms the absence of sperm.
Our team will explain when to complete your semen testing and what happens after your results are received.
