Gold Coast Vasectomy Clinic

Dr Greg Anderson has been performing vasectomy procedures since 1993 and is happy to discuss vasectomy with any male who wants a highly effective, permanent method of contraception.

Vasectomy is a simple procedure that usually takes less than 20 minutes.  Vasectomy should not be stressful and does not require a general anaesthetic, with the patient able to talk comfortably throughout the vasectomy.
Dr Anderson performs what is called No-Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV) using the Li method - See FAQ

The patient may go home immediately after the vasectomy and can usually drive himself, although many elect to have their partner or a friend drive for them.
Bookings for vasectomy can be taken directly and a referral from your doctor is not necessary, however many doctors also refer their patients for the vasectomy.

Communication by letter is always made with the patient’s general practitioner after the vasectomy is completed.

An initial consultation will always be required for discussion and an explanation of the vasectomy as well as examination and the provision of a consent form. There is also an instruction sheet that will be provided. A booking for both the initial consultation and the vasectomy itself can be made with the one call, but preferably  the consultation and the vasectomy are not on the same day to allow time for consideration. However, we are aware that some patients need to travel significant distances and in these circumstances we are happy to  perform the  vasectomy on the same day as the initial consultation.

Both the initial consultation and the vasectomy attract Medicare rebates.
A vasectomy does not give instant fertility control as there are still active sperm that need to be disposed of through ejaculation and the passage of time. A semen analysis should be carried out 4 months AND at least 20 ejaculations after the vasectomy to ensure that sperm are absent before the couple’s previous contraceptive measures are terminated. Instructions for this check will be arranged at the time of vasectomy and there is no need for a further consultation – just a phone call to check the result  one day  after the specimen is submitted.

Patients are encouraged to contact Dr Anderson should they have any concerns following the vasectomy and he will be happy to speak with them or arrange a review if necessary.
