Initial Paperwork for Vasectomy and Process

Before your appointment, we will send you a series of documents and forms to complete online, which will be securely saved directly in your medical record. This process helps streamline your experience and ensures we have all necessary information before you arrive. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Appointment Email – You’ll receive a link to our Welcome Pack. If you’re attending a webinar/consultation only you’ll get a Welcome Email filled with helpful information. You can afterwards decide if you want to book in our or another vasectomy clinic.

2. Webinar Link – On the day of your webinar, we’ll send you a text or email with a link to access it.

3. Application Form – An email will include a link to the Application Form.

4. Pre-consent Form – You’ll receive an email with a link to the Pre-consent Form.

5. Payment Receipt – If applicable, you’ll receive an email with your payment receipt.

What You Need to Do Before Minor Surgery:

Application Form:
This form helps Dr. Kittel understand your medical history, what you want from the procedure, and any concerns you may have. It provides essential information for planning your surgery.

Pre-consent Form:
This form contains a series of informative statements about the procedure. If there’s anything you would like to discuss further, simply tick the box to indicate your interest, print the form, and bring it with you. Please note that your signature does not indicate agreement or obligation to proceed with surgery. It simply confirms that you have thoroughly considered all statements.

Following the webinar, you will receive a final consent form and a short quiz to confirm that you are well-informed and can give informed consent before proceeding with the procedure.

Our Weekly Webinar – Convenient, Confidential, and Informative

We now offer 2-3 webinar options per week to accommodate different surgeons in our clinic. These webinars are held on different weekdays conveniently in the evening after work starting between 6:00 PM and 7:30pm UK time (GMT, adjusted for daylight savings time) and can be attended from anywhere in the world via Zoom. In fact, we’ve had patients tuning in from all over the globe — including the beach in Brazil! Another patient called us from a military exercise.

Confidentiality and Anonymity:
To ensure your privacy, patients join the webinar anonymously, with both video and audio off. You are welcome to turn your video and audio on if you prefer, but this is completely optional to maintain your confidentiality. When you attend, you will be given a patient number. You can either use a pseudonym to confirm your attendance or simply provide your first name and date of birth — this will allow us to tick you off the attendance confirmation list.

Webinar Content

Our webinar covers 98% of the most common questions related to vasectomy and the procedures we offer. It’s designed to be an efficient way to provide crucial information while keeping our prices affordable.

Next Steps After the Webinar

After attending the webinar, you’ll have the option to book a follow-up appointment (either by phone or face-to-face) with Dr. Kittel or one of our clinical staff. This is a great opportunity to ask any remaining questions or arrange for an examination, should it be necessary.

Worried?

It’s completely normal to feel a bit anxious about having a vasectomy. We understand that, and we’re here to help you every step of the way. To start, we encourage you to explore the FAQ sections on this website, which address many common concerns. Additionally, attending a webinar can be incredibly reassuring for those with anxiety. Many of our patients find comfort in seeing other men in similar situations and hearing from others who have successfully undergone the procedure.

It’s also helpful to see that your surgeon is just a person, who genuinely cares about your well-being. During the webinar, you’ll experience the friendly, supportive atmosphere of the whole team, which helps put many patients at ease.

If you have personal or emotional questions, please don’t hesitate to explore our dedicated section on the topic, where we address concerns that go beyond the clinical procedure. Click here to read more.

We’re here to support you and make this process as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Payment Policy

To keep our prices as low as possible, we require payment in advance. Our payment policies are strict, and we ask you to please review them carefully:

1. Webinar Payment: If you have not already paid online, we ask for £95 at the time of booking for your webinar.

2. Vasectomy Appointment Deposit: A £295 deposit is required when booking your vasectomy appointment.

3. Final Payment: You will receive a link for the final payment a week before your surgery date.

Cancellation & Non-attendance Policy

We maintain tight policies around non-attendance and late cancellations in order to keep costs down and ensure that our clinics run efficiently. Please ensure that you are fully aware of these policies before booking. Here’s what you need to know:

• Changes: Changes to your booking made more than a week before your appointment are simple and can be accommodated. However, changes within a week of your appointment may incur additional charges.

• Non-attendance: Late cancellations or missed appointments affect everyone’s experience. We ask that you carefully read our Cancellation Policy and ensure your attendance by double-checking all correspondence from us, especially appointment confirmation emails and reminder texts.

Reason for Our Policy

We aim to provide an affordable, high-quality service without raising prices unnecessarily. We do not believe patients should have to subsidise last-minute cancellations, delays, or half-full clinics.

Our approach provides you with a “family feel” clinic experience — offering a friendly, safe, and cost-effective service with excellent surgery and a wonderful team, though with less flexibility. Think of it like an economy class experience: you will get quality surgery and personal care without the high-end frills.

If you are looking for a premium experience, we recommend booking with a larger provider like Spire, where costs will be higher. Our service is like booking an economy flight: arrive on time, or the “plane will leave”! If you’re coming from far away, we recommend booking a hotel in advance, as traffic around Maidenhead can be busy, similar to Heathrow Airport.

Sickness Policy

If you have a viral illness such as a cold, cough, or sore throat, and you do not have a fever, you can still attend your vasectomy. We kindly ask that you wear a face mask to prevent infecting others.

However, if you have a fever or had one within 24 hours before your surgery, it is unsafe to proceed with the procedure. If this happens, we cannot provide insurance for the cancellation (as it would increase costs for everyone).

Partial Refunds: If you provide an official letter from a UK GP or another registered medical professional on official stationary confirming a fever or other illness not allowing a vasectomy, we will consider a 50% refund.
