How it works
We provide the least invasive and least painful type of vasectomy available. The procedure uses a high pressure spray to instantly numb the skin and vas deferens. A small skin opening is made in the scrotum, only about 1/4 inch. Through this opening the vas deferens (tube that carries the sperm) is cut, stopping the transport of sperm.
The end result is a very safe and a very effective form of permanent birth control. The skin opening is so small no stitches are needed. Most people are back to normal activity after 24 hours and back to full unrestricted activity in 1 week.
Quick Recovery. Fewer Risks. Proven Results.
Faster Recovery
Back to normal activity in 1-2 days
Less Risk
Lowest complication rate
Most Effective
Safer and more effective form of permanent birth control

If you know you don't want more children, getting a vasectomy is a great option for you. It is a simple and permanent way to prevent unintended pregnancies. The procedure is safe and done easily in an office setting. Still not sure, learn more.
Vasectomy is highly effective, with pregnancy rates of about 1 in 2000 after a successful procedure. It's more reliable than condoms, IUDs, or birth control pills. After the vasectomy, a semen evaluation confirms its success. Until then, use other birth control methods to avoid pregnancy.
After a vasectomy, the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles, are cut or blocked. As a result, sperm can no longer mix with semen during ejaculation. Instead, the sperm are reabsorbed by the body, and semen continues to be produced without sperm. This means ejaculation still occurs, but it doesn't contain sperm, so fertilization cannot happen.
No. Typically, semen volume remains the same.

I was nervous about having the vasectomy done, Dr. Caputo did a great job at both the procedure and easing my mind. The whole thing was over in about 20 minutes. I highly recommend Dr. Caputo.

Getting a vasectomy is a big deal and can seems scary. When I got mine it was definitely a more relaxed and not so scary operation. Throughout the operation I was awake while they worked and it was I will say all things considered it was a pleasant experience. Doctor Caputo held a very friendly professional conversation that completely made me forget he quite literally had me by the balls. Putting that aside the operation was very quick and I felt no pain at all. The most I would feel is a little tugging every now and then. If you are looking to get a vasectomy I would recommend Doctor Caputo.

Who wants a vasectomy the day before their birthday? Me!!!!........ Caputo was great. Procedure was quick and the numbing agent worked great where it was needed. Slight sensitivity in my man jewels but other than that, I am doing awesome. Such a scary thought and I get it, it probably doesn’t compare to child birth, but those sugar lumps are sensitive beasts. I had an awesome experience. Thanks for the work!

Dr. Caputo removed some of my vas deferens to prevent me from procreating. I still don't have kids! The entire staff was very polite and laughed at all my immature jokes. If my vas deferens ever grows back, I'd go back to Dr. Caputo.

Dr. Caputo was friendly, likeable, and very quick with my vasectomy. Not the only doctor I’ve seen at this practice and so far all of them have been excellent!

The vasectomy procedure was relatively painless and over before I knew it. It’s now the next day and very minor ache in the groin. Better than expected!
