Needless to say this is a nerve-racking procedure by nature... DrSnip and staff made it stress free and very comfortable. I actually didn't have any after pain-but definitely took advantage of "doctors orders" to lie on the couch for a day watching football with a bag of frozen peas :-) read more

I walked out after my consult and physical as I was freaking out. They had no problem with that. I was all prepped and "numbed" and felt the Dr pulling on my testes and I freaked out and had to stop. I understood it was supposed to be painless and it wasn't. He was very courteous and understanding, and recommended I go under, but this method ain't for this guy. Not sure if I wasn't numbed enough but I sure felt something going on. The billing system is a little wonky with insurance as well but they got it straightened out I think. I had to have Kaiser call them tho as they wanted to charge me $1250 vs no cost. read more

I had about as good of an experience as could be reasonably expected, all things considered. I really liked the doctor who did the procedure and everything went smoothly with no complications. read more

Five stars for the procedure itself. The consultation was professional, the procedure was performed efficiently by Dr. Colon. Recovery was smooth. This business' billing procedures are laughable. Payment of $875 was collected up front on the day of the procedure. No details were provided on how insurance claims would be processed for HSA reimbursement. After waiting 9-weeks and hearing nothing, I called my insurance provider (Regence) and was told that no claim had even been submitted yet. When I contacted Dr. Snip, they claimed that they had submitted it twice to some intermediary billing company and it had been rejected twice and was being submitted a third time. Regence ended up calling the Dr. Snip office directly and had to talk them through how to properly submit a patient claim! At 13-weeks, I finally received an insurance statement with official billed amounts that I could use to request HSA reimbursement for the $875 already collected. This group should be much more transparent in their initial disclosure that estimated fees are collected upfront and insurance claims/final billing can take 3-4 months to resolve. For those using HSA funds, I strongly recommend searching for your HSA debit card for the initial payment rather than putting this on a credit card as I naively did. read more

From start to finish, DrSnip did made it easy. -Making appointment: Easy online request and the staff will reach out to you. -They were about 3 weeks out before my appointment, but they had one cancelation, I was able to get it done that same week. ( Thank you ) -Insurance- 100% covered from Kaiser Permanente. -The procedure was quick and fast. Dr Kelly was very friendly and gentle, I was very comfortable. Next thing you know it was all done. I recommend DrSnip. read more

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The consultation was very professional. Dr. White made sure I was comfortable and kept me informed through the quick and painless procedure. Had very little soreness afterwards. Would recommend to anyone. read more

EDIT: I spoke with DrSnip himself, and he was apologetic, and really wanted to know how he could fix the system to work better. After a good conversation with him, I've changed my feelings about this place, and will be returning at a future date for the procedure. The professionalism he expressed is exactly how you would expect a proper business to react. I didn't need or want a fake feet-kissing-here's-a-discount-go-away response, and did not receive it. I received a personal response from a business that cares. I can't ask fir more, so I changed my review. After the procedure I will likely give it that final star. -------------------------------------------- I wasted my entire afternoon getting in the right mindset, taking off work, having my wife take off work, take the kid out of school, drive to Seattle, just to be told I have to have my vaccine card to get the procedure. This was not told to me, and the last email I received mentioned no such thing. I understand the importance of the COVID vaccine. This is why I am already fully vaccinated. However, if it's so important that I provide my vaccination card (even though all that info is saved by the state, so YOU should have access to it) then TELL ME! It might've been a blessing, but if my wife accidentally gets pregnant, it will be because of Dr.Snip...... read more

If you can, schedule on a Friday morning. This isn't necessary but it was nice being able to take it easy for a few days. Dr. White and the staff were all fantastic. The explanations were very thorough and I felt very comfortable in their hands. The no needle/scalpel method is amazing. Not that I can compare to the other method, but I felt only mild discomfort during the procedure and it was all said and done in about 15 minutes. The Dr. even called me the next day to check in and make sure everything was doing alright which I greatly appreciated. The pain/soreness I did experience after the anesthetic wore off was fairly mild and has almost completely subsided a week later. Would highly recommend this clinic for anyone considering a vasectomy. read more

It was quick and aside from some mild discomfort (which you'd expect when someone is handling a sensitive area), it was as pleasant of an experience as you'd expect. I felt thoroughly informed going into my appointment since they did a great job asking questions on their site. Any other questions I had were answered on the spot when I had my consultation. The Dr. was extremely friendly and professional. We talked during the whole procedure and he would interrupt me just to let me know what he was doing since I couldn't feel a thing. Honestly, the hardest part is being inactive for a week...no exercise and no sexual activity of any sort for the first 7 days after. Talk about a DROUGHT... Thankful to only have to go through this once but thankful to have done it here. read more

I procrastinated for about 20 years. These guys made a awkward procedure comfortable. I traveled from 50 miles away after reading their reviews I was sold on their office for the procedure. Then the tough part was scheduling the visit, that makes it real. I should have had this done decades ago. There was soreness after the procedure, but totally bearable I'd put the experience on par with going to the dentist to have a cavity filled. I can't think of anything that they could have done better. The whole staff was awesome! read more

Holy crap was I nervous about doing this. I drove from Puyallup to Seattle based on reviews. Man, it was worth it. This place is amazing. No needle and it went amazingly fast. Like lightspeed fast. He talks to you during the procedure, asks you how your doing and is very good at what he does. Go here. Pain at most was 2/10. Going to the dentist is much worse. read more

Beware! My husband and I had a consult where they assured us that we would only pay a copay of $35 for the procedure. We chose to move forward which overall was a good experience. However after nearly 8 months we received a bill for over $800 claiming that the procedure was not covered by insurance. After calling to inquire, they said that they had sent the insurance claim in wrong and not to worry they would fix it and we would not have to pay anything. Fast forward almost 2 years, we receive another bill with an outstanding balance with a threat to be sent to collections. Their claim is that my husband's insurance was out of network. Again we were assured at consultation it was in network and would be fully covered. Make sure you double check before going through with the procedure we would have never scheduled the procedure if we were not given misleading information. read more

Dr. Snip has over-the-top Covid protocols, especially if you are unvaccinated. My PCR test results did not come back in time, so they turned me away at the door, even though I was happy to to wear a mask and do a rapid test like everyone else. read more

I sought out DrSnip for my vasectomy based on the glowing reviews, despite it being farther from where I live than other vasectomy clinics. First, I went to the website and completed the online form. Shortly thereafter (1-2 days), someone from the office contacted me via email (I elected to correspond via email on the online form) and we scheduled a date for my consultation/procedure that was about 3-4 weeks out. From the available dates/times, I selected Wednesday Afternoon for my appointment but probably should've gone with a Friday. On the day of, my partner took time off and drove me there. Upon arrival, I had to put on a mask and do a rapid COVID Test along with some paperwork, but it wasn't much to ask as an added protection from getting sick, given how busy the place was--Lots of patients were cycling through at the same time (similar to a dentist's office). When it was my turn, I went back to an examination room, talked to someone about my reasons for getting a vasectomy and was briefed on what to expect. Like other reviewers have said, the procedure is quick, with only the slight sensations of pressure and/or light pinching/tugging while the anesthetic doing its magic. I was also continuously asked about my level of discomfort and even requested some more anesthetic once I started to feel the pressure/discomfort rise a little more than usual. Then, it was done and I was on my way home after 45-60 min. Over the next few days, I didn't have any complications and opted not to use painkillers...The pain was like a soreness and/or bruise sensation, and exerting/moving my legs more made things uncomfortable, so I just slowed down my movement around the home/office. After a little over a week (9 days), any discomfort was completely gone. For the post-procedure test to confirm its success, I opted to have a lab kit ($50 extra) sent to me rather than physically go to a clinic. Two months later, the lab kit came, I did the test at home and sent in the sample. Another few days later and someone in the office called me to confirm that the test results showed no sperm, and I even got a letter from the lab in the mail as well. In terms of pricing, everything was laid out for me prior to my visit. Insurance covered a little over 40% and my out-of-pocket was close to $800. read more

If you need this type of service, I cannot recommend Dr. Snip enough. Incredible and responsive customer service from even just exploring the option right through to the operation itself. Every person I interacted with via email and phone leading up to the surgery was extremely helpful. On the day of the surgery, I was obviously still very anxious, but the nurses eased my concerns and Dr. White's cool, calm, confident demeanor really helped make the whole thing a relative non-event. Don't get me wrong, this is a major life decision to make that I considered for months ahead of time. I've never let anyone below my waist for anything besides pleasure or maybe a routine doctor's exam. It's true that the mental build up and anxiety ahead of the surgery day is far worse than anything that actually occurs in the doctor's office. The euphoria once it was all over was more than worth it. I'm currently following their guidance for post-surgery care and letting the rest take care of itself. Thanks Dr. Snip! read more

Dr. White is the man!! I got it done two weeks ago and he made it smooth for me. I was light headed from anxiety and just being nervous. But the best part about it is that it didn't hurt at all. The hypospray feels like flicking your finger on your skin. Then 5 minutes later your done with a new Dr. Snip pocket knife. Some mild discomfort the next day but it was not bad at all. Highly recommend this place. I told all my friends when they are done having kids to go see them. read more

We'd heard about "Dr. Snip" from a friend who told us how great he was. However, we're in Bellingham, so we were hesitant to pick someone "all the way" in Seattle. When a local physician decided my husband needed to see a specialist for the procedure, and we found out it was way more $ and weeks to get in to a local specialist, we called Dr Snip. Not only did Dr Snip get us in right away (our insurance was changing and we wanted to get it done before our deductible went up), had we met him from the get-go he would have been our first choice. Every single person in his office is helpful, knowledgeable and knows what they're doing. Not only is he really competitively priced, he's the most skilled and has so much experience. He even put my husband at ease, and, considering the procedure, that's saying a lot. After doing a consult with 2 other places, we also found out that there are plenty of other doctors still using the scalpel method. This will definitely increase your healing time over the method Dr Snip uses. My husband waited quite a while to get tested but his procedure came out "all clear". And the reason he needed to see a specialist was no problem at all for Dr. Snip, who had no trouble performing the vasectomy. The procedure was probably 10 minutes. I drove my husband back to Bellingham, and he took it easy that day and was back to his normal activity level in no time. We would both highly recommend Dr Snip (Wilson). He does only vasectomies and he knows what he's doing. His method is the easiest, most pain-free way to do it. When it comes to your balls, do them a favor, and pick this guy. read more

Had my "procedure" done at Dr Snip a few days ago. The whole experience from beginning to end was great. To start, they had reasonable availability and hours on he weekend, so I could book within a week of calling. They emailed over the forms, so I didn't have sit in the office doing them, which I appreciated. Would have been to fill out online, rather than PDF, but not bad. They checked my insurance and called me to advice on the (minor) co-pay, which I appreciated too. The consultation and brief were both friendly and professional. They walked through the details with my wife and me, confirmed alignment and consent, and we're very clear about needed post procedure restrictions. The procedure itself from Dr White was very fast. Dr White had great bedside manner, didn't surprise me at anytime, and was a master of his craft. No pain or discomfort to speak of. Offered to let my wife come watch, though she declined... Probably best. No pain after the event that a few Advil couldn't knock out. Also Dr White called to follow up, which was nice. So far so good! If we end up with another kiddo though, I'll update the post. read more

This is the place to go if you are ready for a vasectomy! The staff is very friendly and professional. They provide detailed counseling and informed consent prior to the procedure. Dr. Chick Wilson is friendly and skilled! He has developed this no-needle procedure & it is amazing! They recommend having two appointments: one for the counseling, one for the procedure, but if you are 100% sure they can combine both into one visit. I accompanied my husband with our young child and it was not a problem. We didn't feel rushed & didn't wait for more than a few minutes. Follow up only requires drop off of 'samples'. If you call ahead they'll let you know when someone is there to look at samples & tell you if there are any swimmers;) read more

DrSnip - The Vasectomy Clinic - Reproductive Health Services Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Dr. Snip is fantastic -- we recently had our 3rd child and decided we were ready to be done, and every step from the frank, informative, and comfortable tone of the initial paperwork, to the great staff in the office the day of the procedure, to Dr. Wilson himself, they're just great. It truly was no more painful than getting a filling done at the dentist -- psychologically different of course, but honestly a breeze, and the recovery was similarly straightforward. You do really have to remind yourself *not* to exert too much, because you feel so much better so quickly. It's been 6 weeks now and next week is time to "verify" all was successful -- looking forward to it. :) read more

I am a 50 years old and because of some health issues with my wife, she can no longer take the pill, and we don't like other type of protection. I am over 350 lbs. right now. While this created some more work for the Dr. Even with that, I can tell you that this easier than I ever expected. And if I had been of a more normal weight there would have been almost no discomfort at all. The no needle anesthetic was totally pain free. about the same as if you used your finger to flick a bug off your skin. After that because of my weight he had to inject some more anesthetic. but I didn't really feel that after the pain free needle free system. Dr. Wilson is both professional and has a nice chair side manner. There has been very little pain after the recovery.. much less than the ache after a good work out etc. I am a total needle phobe etc. All my concerns seemed silly after it was over. If you are sure you no longer want kids, this is the way to go. I can recommend as a place with a good staff and physician . read more

Dr. White and staff are incredible. They do a very good job explaining the procedure and what to expect. The procedure was painless and fast. It has been three days since my procedure and I have only been slightly uncomfortable, no pain. If you are thinking about getting a vasectomy please do yourself a favor and go to Dr. Snip. Thank you Dr. White and staff. read more

The procedure went just fine. The billing department is seriously lacking. My appointment was scheduled for Dec. 23 and I was informed I would be responsible for $550ish. They rescheduled (not me) due to weather and all of a sudden they say I am responsible for over $700. Not sure why them rescheduling caused such an increase in cost. I emailed asking why and never got a response. One month after the procedure and my insurance still never received a bill. I contacted the clinic and it appears they just forgot to send it in. The next day my insurance finally received the bill. My EOB showed that I was only responsible for $175 not the $700 I was made to pay. Talking to my insurance they say they have never seen billing done this way and are not sure why I was charged so much. Contacted the office again on March 11 and they say they will be sending me a check for the difference that I should not have paid. As of today April 11 I have still not seen any sign of my refund check. I have had many procedures in the past and never had such a problem with billing. I'm not so rich I just have $700 laying around I can afford to just give away. The procedure it's self went fine but I imagine going to any other clinic with a better billing department would cause less headaches. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Charles Wilson, aka, Dr. Snip for a vasectomy. He's been performing/perfecting this procedure since 1978. Hell of a nice guy and really good staff as well. I can truly say my nerves got the best of it... but even they were assuaged by Doc Snip and his staff. They're really good at putting the patient (me) at ease. The procedure: quick & painless. I took the rest of the day off of work - a good "me" day but have had no ill effects from the procedure. In fact, it was hard to keep me at bay because I felt just fine... but they really caution against strenuous activity. Chick (his nickname that he introduced himself to me) said that he was going to call me the next day to see how I was doing. Well I figured it would be his staff or an assistant... but he actually called me and asked how I was doing. Wow! Anyway... don't let your fear stand in the way - just go do it. :) read more

Ok I'm certain it is hard for guys to write reviews on this, but hell I found him on Yelp and had a great experience so I feel obligated. NO ONE has had more anxiety about this than me. I'm super squeamish and hate this kind of stuff and admitted so when I arrived. You don't need to know the dirty details but know first hand and most important that it doesn't hurt at all! 10 minutes in and out and they give you worst case scenario type cautions but honestly it's a piece of cake. Now embarrassed I didn't have it done 7 years ago when my wife and I first talked about it. Completely professional and understanding The Vasectomy Clinic was nothing short of top notch. read more

Got my vasectomy done today. The office has a comfortable feel. All the staff I spoke to made u feel at ease and we're professional. Dr white did my procedure. It didn't take long at all. And the pain was none to very mild from start to finish. Will recommend this clinic to anyone even if you have to travel. Very professional and well ran business. read more

Dr Kelly white is definitely a master at the craft! Dr White explained everything before he did it, then proceeded quickly and skillfully. * Took about 15 mins * Pain at it highest was 3/10 but he quickly administered more lidocaine * You get a pocket knife when your done! * Paid 700, insurance paid for the rest (like 300.00) My insurance is not that good Highly recommended - I made a good choice with this clinic! read more

Easier and less painful than getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist. The worst part of it, was dealing with my own anxiety before the procedure. Theres a residual anxiety pre op to post op with your own anxiety. Thats the worst part. I found myself giggling about how nervous I was after the procedure. Man! Such a burden lifted off my chest. Im super happy with the outcome and experience. Best bedside manners ever. I legit laughed intermittently during the procedure. It feels nice to be part of the club. read more

Writing this review for my husband! We went yesterday, and it went super well; he said he had no pain during, and only minor discomfort after. Today he is only a little sore. I have to keep reminding him to be careful since he feels so good! Quick scheduling, in and out of office in no time. He didn't even walk funny, lol! Highly recommend this clinic--their methods are superior. Just waiting for a negative test in 6 weeks!!! read more

First off, if you go here you're getting the best. Dr. Wilson originated the no-needle method -- can't get much better than that. I had Dr. White who was very friendly and informed you and asked for your consent every step of the way. I was in the office for all of 30 minutes -- first the assistant went through all of the paperwork and logistics of what was going to happen. Then, Dr. White came in and went over any questions and then we got to it. The numbing + procedure + clean up was around 10 minutes. The procedure was nearly painless, just a bit of sharpness for a couple seconds, and Dr. White checked-in with my comfort along the way. He explained what he was doing as he did it and even let me see what he was doing if I wanted to. Once it was done, he gave me a pocket knife, quickly reviewed what I can and can't do for the next week, and I was on my way. On the back end -- the staff was really friendly and helpful. Everything is easy -- you can upload forms to their portal and they check everything for you ahead of time. I have crappy insurance that didn't cover this, but they cap everything at $1000 and if you're one of the extremely rare cases where the vasectomy doesn't take, they'll do it again free of charge. After calling around before making this appointment, that was definitely not the case everywhere. All in all, it's hard to go wrong going here. read more

Absolutely great! Virtually painless and quick procedure. I was pretty anxious and nervous going in but Dr. White was very nice and made me comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

What a great experience for something that is so personal and terrifying for any male. The doctor let me stay in the room for the procedure and was so professional and knowledgeable. read more

Went in for my consult and procedure same day! They checked on my insurance over the phone before I made my appointment and my insurance covered it 100% no co-pay at all! Gotta love that! Staff is very nice and friendly. The doctor knows his trade well. Procedure was very quick. I guess I was one of the more rare cases that numbing didn't work the first time and when he started I had a bit of pain, but he stopped right away and re-numbed me and and didn't feel a thing after that. He is very courteous and does an excellent job. The incision healed very quickly and so well that I can't even tell where the incision was made. No scar at all! I did my test a couple months later and success! No more swimmers! read more

From the time I first requested information to my post-procedure follow up, my experience at the Vasectomy Clinic was extremely positive. The procedure: I managed to work myself into a pretty impressive mental freak-out (if my girlfriend wasn't with me I might have run away), but it turned out to be no big deal. The staff does a great job of explaining everything and answering your questions, then the doctor comes in and does his thing - I had Dr. White, who was great. The procedure itself was quick and painless - a little bit of pressure, a few pinches, but nothing bad. Again, the worst part was my own overthinking. As long as I kept my focus on the office artwork and off the fact that someone was messing with my junk, everything was just fine. The recovery: Dr. White called to check in the following day, but there was nothing to report. There was some very mild discomfort at times, but not enough to even warrant taking an Advil. I followed the doctor's advice and took it very easy for a couple of days (doctor recommended couch/Netflix time is awesome!) and everything was fine. While there was no significant discomfort or decreased mobility, I could definitely tell that something had happened down there. It took about two weeks for that feeling to completely go away. The follow up: I did my final test last week to make sure the procedure was effective, and I am in the clear! Their testing schedule is really convenient and you get your results the same day, which was great. So, overall, it was a great experience. If this is something you're thinking about, I would definitely recommend checking out the Vasectomy Clinic. read more

Awesome and quick procedure pain was a 3 out of 10 but my nerves were worse then the procedure. Highly recommended

I couldn't possibly be happier to have had somebody (Dr. White) take a scalpel to my scrotum. Quick, painless, friendly, and professional.

This is an important decision and I do not know of any clinic and physician that will walk you through it better (And I researched many of them being that I am a researcher for a profession). Their website is very informative and organized. Dr. Wilson is a genius and phenomenal. The procedure is quick and smooth. I am thankful I found out about Dr. Snip! Great nurses, office managers, and assisting doctor too! Thanks Dr. Snip!! read more

The entire experience was very easy, quick and comfortable. Dr Wilson is very professional and efficient. No pain whatsoever. Would highly recommend it. read more

Had my vasectomy done today by Dr White. He is simply amazing, I was very anxious and he walked me thru it the whole step by step. Julie was amazing too and made me feel very comfortable. If your anxious and worried like I was rest assure that this is the best clinic out there and the procedure was done in less than 10 mins and I felt nothing!! Dr whites bed side manner was top notch and his added humor really made things more comfortable. I can't say enough good about the whole experience if you have to get it done go here. read more

I am from Eastern Washington and started looking for more professional options than our local area provided as I had several friends with less than perfect results from their vasectomies (pain, hematoma, failed procedure, etc.) While sitting over beers at the house with a friend, somehow the subject came up and we asked "how do you find a vasectomy Dr.? Yelp?" Sure enough, I found Dr. Snip and made the appointment. Dr. Wilson and his staff were professional, courteous, and highly capable when it came time for my operation and in the days leading up to it. The facility was small and professional, with a local coffee shop just around the corner where my wife waited while the ten minute procedure was performed (after listening to the nurse tell me my hobbies were out of the picture for the coming week. Oops!) Total in and out time was 55 minutes. I had a hotel room reserved across town, and promptly headed there after the procedure to take it easy. I returned home the next day and had minimal pain, no swelling or discoloration, no problems of any kind. Just a little expected tenderness to the now defective boys. I highly recommend this clinic if you are sure your family is "just the right size". read more
