A vasectomy clinic in Hillcrest, Rotorua, at Westend Medical, 227 Old Taupo Road. Snip Clinic says it is a leading provider of scalpel-free vasectomies, and that its procedure uses a laser-like device to seal the tubes without cutting or stitching. No GP referral is needed, and bookings can be made online or by calling 0800 Dr Snip.
The clinic describes one visit with one fee, and says patients can walk out within about 30 minutes after a local anaesthetic. The website advises no heavy lifting or strenuous activity for a week, and says the procedure does not affect hormones or sex drive. Patients are asked to use other contraception until a test at three months confirms the all-clear, and the test can be done at a local lab or with a home testing kit. Before booking, patients can have a phone consultation with a nurse, and the site has a short video and an FAQ page.
