Picked this place because I trusted the doctor's character having known him for several years. Now it seems we've all been ghosted and will have to look elsewhere for a follow up. Angry. WILL find answers. read more

I was initially pretty nervous about getting this procedure but Dr. Abano and his care team really put me at ease. The surgery was fast and easy. No pain. It was done before I even realized it. Dr. Abano is an incredibly professional, knowledgeable and efficient doctor. Anyone getting up there in age or have simply decided they are ready. I would definitely recommend Dr. Abano and his team. read more

Super easy to make an appointment. We were in & out in 45 minutes. Everyone was friendly, professional, and took extra care due to COVID-19. Dr. Abano was just fantastic: he has a great bedside manner & definitely knows his stuff. My husband said it was completely painless- he just chatted with the doctor the whole time. They also gave us the most awesome pen ever. We highly recommend The Vasectomy Center! read more

Dr. Abano is great. Professional, polite, sets you at ease. The procedure was virtually painless and quick. He called to check up after a week too. If you are on the fence about a vasectomy, just call them up and schedule it. read more

With 4 kids it was time for a vasectomy. I was dreading it but I decided on Dr. Abano after reading online reviews. I'm glad I did! I immediately felt comfortable around him. He's just a good, normal guy. Skilled & professional, but easy to talk with. In fact, I was talking through my whole procedure to the point it felt like it was over in no time. All I felt were a few minor "rubber band" snaps as the anesthetic was applied. The 'scary part' of the procedure I didn't really even feel much at all. The day I had it done I took the advice to stay completely in bed. By day 2 I could sit at a desk. Day 3 I could technically go back to work but I'm spending one more day at home just to be sure. The office felt nice, like a standard hospital. There was plenty of room in the waiting area and it's a comfortable open environment. The actual room was clean like you would expect, and that particular medical center is designed with colors that are more comforting than some others. All in all it's a very professional operation and if I had known it would be this easy I would have done it sooner. I heartily recommend Dr. Abano. I wish he did more than just vasectomies because I like him enough I'd go to him as a normal doctor if I could. read more

Dr. Abano was great. Like many men, I was nervous about the procedure, but Dr. Abano came in and immediately made me feel at ease. There was no pain - not even much discomfort, and was a quick procedure. Dr. Abano was very funny, sociable, and had a great bedside manner. Highly recommended, this guy, and the Vasectomy Center in Issaquah. read more

So I had my procedure done earlier today and I was very nervous. The doc and his staff were great. The procedure itself wasn't that bad and after I got out of my own head I realized it hurt less than any of my tattoos. I highly recomend this center and as a guy that was terrified to do this it wasn't that bad. One piece of advice is although they say you can drive yourself home (And I did) I don't recomend it. read more

I had a great experience getting my procedure. The doctor was extremely easy going and helped calm me a bit. Overall it's pretty much painless throughout the procedure. Very professional and accommodating. Definitely recommend! read more

As a counterpoint to the bad review, I had a great experience here. At least as great as you can have while getting your balls snipped, haha! Showed up 10 minutes before the operation. Watched a little TV on the flatscreen. I don't know what kind of expectation of privacy you'd have, it's not like you've got an STD or are sitting there naked in front of everyone. You're waiting to get a minor and responsible operation done, whats the big deal? Got called in and got on the table. Dr. Weissman came in shortly and told me what to expect. The rubber band snap thing I'd like to say was a WEAK rubber band, barely felt it. when he said there would be a pinch I actually didn't feel anything, nor did I feel anything during the procedure itself which was super short. Maybe 5 minutes. I was prepped for pain because of the 1 star review and have a fairly high tolerance, but I felt nothing but a few minor tugs. As for the doc being rude I had the opposite. We joked around during the operation and after. He's one of those guys that delivers jokes with a straight face and if you don't get that you might mistake it for rudeness. Or caught him on a bad day maybe? I dunno, I can just say he was cool with me. I walked out with a normal gait, assured another guy on the way out it was no big deal and drove myself home. Ibuprofin and ice like you're supposed to. read more

As most men would, I approached this visit with some nervousness. But the attentive staff and friendly doctor made the visit easier than I could ever have anticipated. Fast, painless and easy. If you are thinking about making this important decision in your life I highly recommend the vasectomy center. read more

Let me start by saying this, I did a great deal of research before selecting this doctor and location ( Dr. Wiessman). The reason I chose this place is because I wanted to minimize the amount of trauma my husband would experience as much as possible. By using numbing cream , novacain and a lazor there would be minimum trauma to his body there for minimizing pain and recovery time. Swedish Hospital is a beautiful and comfortable hospital with good reviews and this place wasn't too far to travel to. However all my research was a complete and total waste of time. Doing it the old fashioned painful way with the clamps scaple and in a clinic would have been better. Here is why 1) no privacy- you are all lined up like a bunch of people waiting to be turned into soilent green looking at the fearful and depressed looks on each others faces, 2) The "doctor" does no prescribe pain medication FOR ANYONE! He just says you won't need it and to get some advil. 3) In the paper work given to you about the procedure it says it is your choice to have a novacain injection after you have been topically numbed. NOT TRUE! He refuses to do this. 4) You feel EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rubber band being snapped on your junk is the description you hear of what this feels like. More like a switch blade in your scrotum. The only thing that was true was that no needle and no scaple were used but who cares when you are in non stop pain for 20 minutes? As we drove home and the swelling increased my husband became it total agony and did as the doctor said and took some advil. It worked about as good as me punching him in the face and distracting him for a split second. The doctor was very rude and insensitive and did not do as he promised in his add. Also this procedure costs double the price of getting this done the old fashioned way in the clinic where you can maintain your dignity and go home with some pain meds. If I was a guy I would not go to this man no matter what. BTW I feel super bad for convincing my husband this place had to be the best, I mean how could I know this when I am the first to review it? ahahahahahahahah! read more

Dr Weissmann's bedside manner is a bit odd and unconventional, but in the end he did a great job of keeping me at ease during a really stressful life event. The procedure was close to completely painless (even though he joked about trying to decrease his overhead by using less lidocaine), and the initial healing process takes 24 hours. The worst part was the smell while he cauterized, which lasts about 1 minute. I kept the area iced most of the day (bring an ice pack for the ride home, and be sure to put a towel under your butt on your bed or you'll have a wet spot). I used 600 mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours. That's it. I am on the second day with zero bruising and zero seepage from the entry wound. No inflammation whatsoever. Update (two weeks later): I was in and out of very minor discomfort and bruising for the first week. Keep wearing those tight underwear (jockstrap might be best). Bring a change of underwear to work, because they might lose their support in the middle of the day. The second week was all great, with decreasing sensitivity and bruising every day. I started masturbating on day 7 (a very good idea), and have had decreasing blood in my semen each day since, All in all this was a complete success. read more

Hands down the absolute best doctor we have ever seen. Dr. Weissman was personable and professional. We drove an hour and a half to see him after initially seeing an awful doctor in Olympia. The consultation was reassuring, simple, and left us feeling completely confident. We are so happy we didn't go through with the procedure elsewhere. The bad review for the Vasectomy Center was ridiculous! Can't believe anyone would give less than 5 stars! If we could give more, we would! We agree 100% with the positive review. My husband was seen on 06/17/17 and is doing great. It's been such an easy recovery and we have already referred several friends to Dr. Weissman! Also- it was nearly pain-free! Quick & easy procedure. read more

I had a very positive experience. Dr. Weissman took the time to explain the procedure and answer any questions I had. The facilities were nice and he put me at ease. The procedure was essentially painless and took just 10 minutes. I'm glad I won't have to have a vasectomy again...but if I did, I'd trust Dr. Weissman again. read more

Just moved to Seattle from Oregon where I had a vasectomy performed. The follow up sample said I had active sperm in my sample and I would need to submit a new sample. Since I had moved they told me I could find a new doctor when we got on our feet up here. I looked on YELP and found this office. When I called the very nice receptionist said they do not see patients from other offices.The doctor only sees patients who he has worked on. She said I would have to go somewhere else (translation there is no money in a follow up). I understand that this their policy but seems more like a business model than a healthcare model. I called my old office and they suggested Swedish Urology Group. They were more than happy to see me and had no problems/concerns that it was a follow up. Just and FYI for people looking on YELP. read more

I was pretty nervous to have a vasectomy, but looking back, I had a great experience at the Vasectomy Center. Dr. Weissman and his staff took me through all the options and explained the procedure. There was never any pressure and I really felt comfortable. When it came time for the procedure, the staff was courteous and professional. The healing time was minimal and there were no complications. I did a ton of research before having this procedure and ended up here because a friend had told me it was a great clinic. I'm glad I did. Highly recommended. read more
