NTR- Vasectomy ?

This might sound dumb, but what kind of dr would perform the procedure? Does DH start at his PCP or a specialist?

Urologist. Do your research on the doctor, though, and make sure to ask how many reversals have occured. DH's doctor hasn't had a reversal in 30 years of practice. My BFF's husband's reversed, and their third child was born nine months later.

He would have to see his primary if his insurance requires a referral. If not, he can just make an appointment with a urologist.

A Urologist.  His PCP should be able to refer him to someone.

Thanks, Ladies!

One of my friends is a family practice doc and does a lot of vasectomies. You don't always need to see a specialist.

Based on the signs in our office, our family's FP office does them as well.

This exactly. DH's reversed, we got dd4, two years after it has been done by a family practice doctor. His reversal rate was high, we found out after. Four in the year he had it done. His urologist hasn't had any in 30 years.

My DH had his done by his PCP. He has not had a reversal in his 15+ years.  4 years later we are still ok.
