Answers to typical questions before making an appointment. Dr. Benderev will be able to answer any other questions you may have at your Consultation appointment.
1. Do I need a driver to take me home after my procedure?
Answer: We request that you have a driver to take you home, in the occasional case of a patient developing light headedness.
2. Can the Vasectomy Consultation and Procedure be scheduled for the same day?
Answer: No. While you may schedule both the Consultation and Vasectomy appointments today, your Consultation visit should be at least one day before your Vasectomy Procedure per governmental regulations. If you are travelling further to visit Dr. Benderev, you can schedule a Telemedicine Consultation, before your Vasectomy Procedure and save one trip. During the time of COVID, all consultations are done via telemedicine.
3. Do I need to return for a post procedure appointment?
Answer: Routinely, no.
4. If my insurance does not cover the vasectomy with Dr. Benderev, what is the cash cost?
Answer: The cash price for the Dr. Benderev vasectomy consult is $190 and the vasectomy procedure with post-operative care is $950. We have kept a reasonable cost compared to the $3,000+ costs found in some Los Angeles and other metropolitan areas, so as to keep it affordable for a wider range of patients.
5. Do I need to fast (avoid eating) before my vasectomy?
Answer: No. In fact, you will want to have a light meal within a couple of hours of your arrival for your procedure.
6. What are the major restrictions after the vasectomy?
Answer: You will want to avoid exercise and lifting anything over 15 pounds for one week after your vasectomy.
7. Is the price of the semen analysis after the procedure included?
Answer: Yes, it is included. |
