FAQ

HOW MUCH TIME DO I NEED TO TAKE OFF WORK?

Most men need between 2 and 5 days off depending on how demanding and/or flexible their work is. If you have an office job, you can usually return to work after 2-3 days. However, if you have a job that requires heavy lifting and you can't easily delegate tasks then you may need to wait 5-6 days before returning to work. Returning to work too soon after your procedure increases your risk of bleeding, pain and swelling.

WHAT ARE YOUR WAIT TIMES?

We strive to ensure patients can get their vasectomy done within 3-4 weeks depending on fluctuating demand and availability.

HOW MUCH DO VASECTOMIES COST IN ALBERTA?

Most clinics in Alberta charge $250-300 for the portion of the vasectomy that is not covered by Alberta Health. Vasectomy Central charges $200+ tax for what is not covered by Alberta Health. If you've had a reversal and this is your second vasectomy, it is not covered by Alberta Health and the fee is $950 +tax.

HOW LONG WILL THE APPOINTMENT BE?

The procedure itself is not very long, although this can vary patient to patient. Plan to be with us for approximately 20-30min. Please arrive 15 min early to ensure adequate time to complete your registration. We recommend that someone drives you to and from the appointment but it is not mandatory. If you think you will need medication prior to your procedure (triazolam) to put you at ease, please let Dr. Filion know at the time of the consultation so he can give you a prescription. You will need a ride to and from our facility if you opt to take this medication (triazolam).

IS THERE A NO-SHOW OR CANCELLATION FEE?

Yes, there is a fee of $250 for no-shows and cancelations within 7 days of the procedure unless there are extenuating circumstances.
