I had a vasectomy performed with Dr. McAuliff yesterday and all and all it was a positive experience. I mean, about as positive as having your scrotum cut open and your vas cut and cauterized can be. Sorry for the graphical explanation people, but that's what happens. That's what I went in for and that's what happened. I appreciated several things about the practice. I had done a fair amount of research online regarding the procedure and I particularly liked the Gentle Procedure's description of their no-needle no scalpel process. In addition to the articles, they also have videos that they took the time to make with the doctor who actually performed the procedure. They have two videos on their website, one with Dr. McAuliff describing the procedure in a few minutes, and another video of him actually performing the procedure. You might or might not want to watch that, but it did set my mind at ease a bit. My appointment was at 11 and I showed up just on time. The staff was very courteous. Kelly, who I had spoke with on the phone a couple times prior while scheduling my appointment, was very sweet. She offered me a beverage and answered a couple brief questions I had regarding the practice, which seems to center primarily around Vasectomies and Circumcisions, I'm sure there are plenty of other things he does but that definitely seemed to be the focus. I was surprised to learn that on their vasectomy days they often run 8-10 procedures a day. Any concerns regarding experience were put to rest. She took me from the waiting room to the a private room and offered me a tablet to watch the explanation video (same one I had seen previously online) while I waited for the doctor. I was only in there a couple minutes when he came in, sat down, and offered to answer any questions or concerns I had about the procedure. Then the actual procedure began. I feel like calling it "pain free" wouldn't be completely true, but it wasn't nearly as bad as some of the horror stories I had read on the internet at other places with traditional vasectomies. The "No needle" portion of the vasectomy means that the numbing agent is delivered through a device that doesn't actually puncture the skin. I had read this through their website but didn't completely get it. I suppose it must have been less painful than a needle with a numbing agent, but I can't really compare the two. The Dr. said it would be like "getting snapped by a rubberband". That didn't sound so bad, but when I heard/felt the "click' The first time I realized I hadn't ever been snapped by a rubber band in the balls before. Fun stuff. He did that 4-5 times and that was the last of the pain. The other sensations during the procedure are definitely odd sensations but not painful. 10 minutes later I was done, offered a beverage and a lollipop, given some post op instructions and a goody bag with gauze and tylenol and sent on my merry way. I appreciated the bed side manner of the doctor. Before and during the procedure he transitioned smoothly between small talk to make me feel comfortable and describing what he was doing. I appreciated that he gave me his cell number and said I could call or text any time with questions. I would recommend him to others in the DFW area looking to do the same procedure. read more

At 34years of age I decided to get a circumcision just because I have being thinking about it for a long time. This place is excellent because is just local anesthesia. The whole process took about 1hr, from checking in to getting the circumcision and getting brief on what to expect in the next few days. My experience during the circumcision was as expected since I have had localized anesthesia in my genitals before. You get a few shots which feels like a sting and then you are numb and just feel slight pressure from time to time as the doctor is doing his thing. Personally, I felt a little light headed from time to time, but making conversation with the doctor distracted me from getting light headed and made the time past by very quick. This is my experience with the 3week recovery. 1st week: procedure was on Monday morning around 1030am and after it is finish and your penis is bandage you go and eat something for 1hr and come back for a check up. Then you will come back on Wednesday and Friday so the doctor changes the bandage for you and teaches you how to do it. During this time you have to be careful taking shower so bandage does not get wet so you can use a condom to keep the bandage dry. I would wake up 2-3 times a night because I would get erections which will cause a little bit of pain. This happens to everyone and you just put an ice pack down there to bring down the ejection. 2nd week: starting on Saturday after the check up on Friday you get to remove the bandage yourself and take showers so the circumcise penis gets wet and then dry the penis and then bandage it back up. I personally would only wake up 1-2 times at night at the beginning of the week and by the end just 1 time at night and the pain is minor. (you don't go to see the doctor on the 2nd or 3rd week). 3rd week: I stop waking up at night time and I started to remove some left over glue stuck in my penis that was used to hold the circumcision in place. I actually stop putting the bandage by Wednesday because when I was playing basketball it came off and I did not really notice it so I decided to not put it anymore. By Friday I went to my last appointment and the doctor inspected the area and say I was good to go. On Friday I masturbated with a flashlight sex toy and it was not that comfortable. But on Saturday I decided to put on a condom try to have sex with the wife and it was way better. In conclusion, this place is awesome. read more

I previously wrote a Yelp review so not sure why it's not showing on this siteAnyway, in my opinion it's a 5 star clinicDid circumcision research for about 1.5 years , different styles, procedures, techniques, etc. Found Dr. McAuliff's practice in Texas and he uses what's referred to as Pollack Method which uses Mogen clamp( common device) for this as well as surgical glue instead of stitches for a better final appearance and most likely quicker recovery. Just had my procedure 3/17/22 and seem to be recovering and progressing nicely.Contrary to some posts from other sites about Pollack method not having but one particular style or choice, that is incorrect. During the consultation with Dr. McAuliff, he showed 3 general styles of cuts to choose and your decision would ultimately be based somewhat on your anatomy. I preferred a high/ tight and fortunately didn't have excessive foreskin to begin with. All considered we decided between a high/ tight and " normal" circumcision. According to the Dr., a " normal " is the type that is generally done on infants, for example. Many circumcision procedures seem to be done under general anesthesia which greatly increases the cost. With Dr. McAuliff's Pollack procedure, local anesthesia is administered and for me was essentially pain freeInitial shot felt similar to pin prick sensation and I believe there were 2 other shots to numb further of which I felt nothing. Just relaxed and really didn't watch the time but my guess is that the actual procedure was completed in about 20 minutes. Afterwards got dressed and about 15 minutes later started to feel a slight burning sensation as anesthesia was wearing off. Not uncomfortable enough to take any pain reliever ( Tylenol) and within an hour that dissipated. Next day went back for inspection and instructions on how to care for and bandage, etc. Instructions and needed supplies are all included to use for recovery as well. All employees were friendly, comforting, professional and competent. In my opinion I could not have chosen a better clinic for this procedure. I'm certain that I am one of Dr, McAuliff's older clients as I recently turned 64 and traveled from Florida. I would/ will recommend his clinic to anyone considering this surgery read more

I had my vasectomy on Thursday and am back to work on Monday! I wear a prosthetic leg above the knee, and it sits very high up into the groin. I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to walk for several days/weeks... NOPE! I was up on my leg Friday evening. When they say "Gentle Procedures", they mean gentle. Mind you the first day/evening was a little painful, but the next morning, I was right as rain. I highly highly highly recommend Dr. McAuliff, Kelly and the rest of the staff. They were welcoming, jovial, informative and attentive to my questions! As an amputee, I was nervous because I had no information regarding the after effects of a vasectomy on prosthetic use. Well, seeing as how I deal with other amputees on a regular basis, I AM now the information and I can tell anyone out there who is looking for someone experienced with this situation, that at this point, it is well worth it to visit Dr. McAuliff and his team if you are worried about getting back up on your prosthesis. The "incision" is more of a puncture and is centrally located so your socket(prosthetics term) doesn't come into contact with it. The vas do not have a ton of nerves that are affected by the prosthesis. And if you are experiencing some discomfort, talk to your prosthetist about socket fit. I had heard stories from several men who told me "Oh 3-4 days and you should be fine," or "3 weeks of pain and then I was okay," and one guy told me, "6 weeks of misery." I was definitely in the dark as to what my recovery would look like. But this is far from what anyone had told me. Thank you Dr. McAuliff, Kelly, and the team! Cody L. read more

It's great to have a doctor (and staff!) that you could see yourself being friends with; it's wonderful to find one that treats you as one; not just a patient/wallet. Dr. McAuliff's obvious skill made for a procedure that only had pain the level of a quick pinch; his obvious genuine care for me as a person (and not just a source of income) greatly lessened the anticipation of any discomfort. You really feel like he's doing something for you, and not just to you. If his reviews are not evidence enough, there's the fact that he gives patients his personal cell phone number to call anytime the office is closed for any concerns! How many doctors do you know care about their patients enough to do that anymore..? I drove 300+ miles to use Dr. McAuliff because of recommendations and his reviews - turns out he was well worth it. The office has a map on the wall with pins denoting where patients have traveled from - I was not surprised when I found out I was one of many who went the distance for a doctor who goes the distance for his patients. read more

Outstanding process, great staff and the Dr. was very Human! Its often when you talk to any doctor about procedures, symptoms, techniques, etc, that you get the feeling that they know they are better than you and you just need to sit there and listen. With Dr Tim, I had a regular discussion, felt comfortable asking any question associated with the procedure, follow-on and directives for each. We sat and discussed the entire process, he answered my questions and once we got started, he just let me ramble about everything and nothing, all while explaining what he was doing, step-by-step. At 51, I'm a grown man (mostly) but the idea of allowing someone to just slice me open is still daunting. The scalpel-free technique was quick, painless and after 72 hours, still is. Thanks Dr. Tim, for the great job, the good discussion and the after procedure, care instruction. You and your staff have my support and recommendation, 100%! read more

As probably every guy getting this procedure, I was very nervous going into this . Now that I'm on the other side of it , I couldn't be more happier that I went through with it .

Very professional, knowledgeable and good at what he does ! Thankful for finding him and making then trip to Richardson! Money well spent and totally worth it . I'm about two weeks post procedure and back to normal . I felt fine actually after the 5 day but didn't want to risk anything so just took it easy another week . Thank you again Dr. McAuliff I'm recommending you to all my friends and family that wants to get a vasectomy. read more

I was 24 when I underwent circumcision as a result of phimosis. I admit to being nervous, but the staff makes the experience and procedure as comfortable as they can. I'm sure they've had many male adults who are stressed and anxious before their procedure. Dr. McAuliff will answer any questions you have about circumcision. The procedure itself was completely fine, and I didn't experience any issues. After the procedure, Dr. McAuliff was great in communicating with me via text to put my mind at ease when I thought something went wrong with my circumcision. Turns out I was being paranoid, and I can say right now, I am 100% satisfied with the results. If you thought about being circumcised as an adult, do not hesitate, and visit Dr. McAuliff. You will not regret it! read more

I'm a 47 yr old male who was suggested circumcision. I researched a lot and found only this clinic who performed circumcision using a clamp under local anesthesia. Of course i was scared. Kelly gave all the instructions and was extremely friendly and always smiling. Dr. McAuliff was extremely patient and answered all my questions. Other thaan a little prick from the anesthetic injection, the whole procedure was painless. NOT A DROP OF BLOOD. I returned home and felt a little burning sensation for about 30 minutes. Then absolutely no pain. Its been 24 hrs now and i feel no pain still. All other reviews i've read and seen on youtube have lot of blood involved and pain/discomfort. I've not even taken tylenol. Can't be more satisfied. Thanks Kelly and Dr McAuliff read more

Dr. McAuliff is friendly and knowledgeable. Everything is explained to you. Procedure was incredibly quick and relatively painless. I had the procedure on Thursday and am confident I will be almost 100% ready for work on Monday with the exception of lifting heavy stuff. I have some soreness in the area below my stomach but it's not too bad and minimal bleeding. If you're going to get the procedure I think this is a great place to do it. Also the office staff was friendly and helpful not that fake kind of friendly either that you normally get from doctors offices. read more

i don't believe anyone gets their babies circumcised anymore. they must being losing the skill because my friends boy was pretty much botched and had to have another surgery later with a plastic surgeon. she said it was really painful, caused nursing problems, and added expense. both parents now regret the decision. they think he won;t develop properly and fully as a result of the complications. once it is done, and if there is a problem, there is no undoing it. he will have to live like that.

Obviously vasectomies are no fun, and I was stressed/nervous/anxious to the max, but Dr. Tim was amazing. His bedside manner was great and I barely felt anything. He kept me at ease and the whole procedure was over before I knew it. I've had very little discomfort the few days after the procedure. I was expecting a lot worse. I highly recommend Dr. Tim and Gentle Procedures if you're looking to get a vasectomy. From the initial scheduling, to billing, to after procedure directions, everything was good. read more

Dr. McAuliff and his staff are top notch! He has such a warm and comforting bedside manner and his staff shares the same manner! He walked my family and I through the entire circumcision procedure with great care and detail, being sure to answer any and all questions we had! He had us come back in 3 times Just to make sure everything was healing properly which put my mind at ease! His office is clean and calming, as well! I recommend him highly and could not be happier with my experience! read more

This is an excellent clinic with an excellent doctor who is well trained. I went for my vasectomy and they had prescriptions ready for me for before and after the procedure. The doctor was incredibly friendly and talked to me during the entire length of the procedure. He explained the process as he was doing it and kept me distracted by asking me questions about what I do and my family. It went by so fast with little to no discomfort. It was not nearly as bad as I thought! read more

As a consultant for the business, I can verify that they do not use Dermabond. Dermabond indeed is a valuable means of wound closure. The manufacturer, however, suggests it is not indicated for use over mucosal surfaces or areas with high moisture levels such as the perineum. In addition, they suggest that no antibiotic ointment should be used on the area as it will break down the adhesive. For these and other reasons, I know the office does not utilize Dermabond. read more

Dr. McAuliff and his entire staff were so awesome! From the incredibly helpful Deanna who helps set the appointment and answer all your questions, to the rest of the staff, they were fantastic. Dr. McAuliff is such a nice man. He was very personable and the procedure was virtually painless. If I had know it was a 15 minute event and no pain, I would have done this years ago. This was the best doctor experience I probably have ever had. Highly recommend!! read more

Would highly recommend Gentle Procedures! Doctor and his staff were very professional and friendly. The Doctor took the time to answer any questions we had before and after the procedure (no-scapel vecectomy). They have made it affordable for families without insurance, as well as doing everything in one visit so less days you have to take off. We were very happy with our experience and would highly recommend. Thank You Dr. McAuliff and staff! read more
