Dr Judd McClelland is now offering ‘no scalpel’ vasectomy services at Tweed Health for Everyone in South Tweed Heads.
Dr McClelland has been performing vasectomies for three years and previously practised on the Gold Coast, where he has lived for more than 35 years.
His special interests include general practice medicine, skin cancer detection and vasectomy procedures.
“I utilise the ‘no scalpel’ vasectomy technique,” Dr McClelland said. “It is less invasive, less painful and has fewer complications than other vasectomy options.”
He said that before scheduling, he consults with patients for 30 minutes to discuss their medical history and educate them about the procedure.
“During this time I ensure they understand and give consent and confirm their expectations of the procedure, to ensure they are a suitable candidate,” Dr McClelland said.
“Conveniently, the consultation and procedure can be done on the same day. The procedure itself generally only takes up to 30 minutes.”
Fees for a vasectomy fees are $795, with a Medicare rebate of $198.55. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required at the time of booking the procedure.
Referrals from GPs with patients seeking vasectomy services are welcome. Where possible, a short referral note and relevant medical history should be included.
