Dr. Benderev and his team provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. After extensive research, I chose him based on his outstanding reputation, and he exceeded every expectation.

The procedure itself was smooth, comfortable, and completely painless. Throughout every step, Dr. Benderev ensured I felt safe, informed, and well cared for. What stood out most was his genuine commitment to his patients—he personally followed up with me afterward, which meant a great deal.
The level of care and dedication I received was truly top-notch. I highly recommend Dr. Benderev to anyone considering this procedure.

5 stars. I chose Dr. Benderev largely because of his great reviews, and after going through the procedure myself, I completely understand why.

Scheduling and preparation were incredibly easy. They covered everything so thoroughly beforehand that it was actually difficult to think of questions to ask. During the procedure, Dr. Benderev explained what was happening as he went, which I really appreciated. The actual procedure was incredibly quick–I’d estimate about 15 minutes, plus another 15 minutes or so for prep and afterward. I had a little discomfort, but no actual pain. I opted for the nitrous and would absolutely recommend it. It made an already easy experience even more comfortable.

What impressed me most, though, was the follow-up. With how efficiently the office operates, you might expect to feel like patients are just being moved through, but my experience was the complete opposite. Dr. Benderev personally followed up by call/text over the subsequent days to see how I was doing. That level of personal attention really stood out.

The staff was also fantastic. I had an unexpected death in the family the week of my procedure and thought I might need to reschedule. I ultimately didn’t, but the staff was completely understanding and ready to work with me while I figured out my family’s plans.

Recovery was MUCH easier than I expected. I took Tylenol preemptively but never needed it for ongoing pain. Icing was more than enough. Three days after the procedure, I went on a family trip to Big Bear with two kids under two and was able to keep up just fine. There was some minor discomfort, but nothing I would describe as painful. (Of course, I definitely described the situation a little differently to my wife for the first two days…)

For any guy putting this off because he’s nervous: I kid you not, about 15 minutes and it’s done. If you’re deciding between this and having your wife undergo a more invasive procedure, this was far less invasive than I had imagined. With two kids under two and stairs at home, I milked the first two days with my wife, but by days 3-5 I felt basically back to normal.

A couple of practical tips from my experience: get the nitrous, consider taking something before bed if you’re a stomach sleeper, and have some dark-colored supportive briefs available during recovery. I had a little spotting after the third day, although I was probably doing more than I should have while on vacation.

Overall, excellent experience from preparation through recovery, and Dr. Benderev’s personal follow-up afterward really sets the practice apart.

A few days ago, I had a vasectomy with Dr. Benderev. I was referred by a friend who had the procedure done a few years ago.

From the initial consultation, the entire process was smooth and all of my questions were answered. The consultation itself was quick, and I was given all the information I needed to confidently schedule the procedure.

On the day of the procedure, everything went as planned. Dr. Benderev and the staff were organized and made me feel comfortable throughout. I was surprised by how quickly it was completed—I was in the office for what it felt like 15 minutes. Most importantly, I left with no pain and feeling good.

Later that day, Dr. Benderev reached out to check on me and followed up again a few days later. I had zero complications and am glad I made this decision for myself and my wife. The procedure was easy and painless.

Dr. Benderev, thank you so much for your professionalism and for making this process so easy. Thank you!

After welcoming our second child, my wife and I decided it was time for me to get a vasectomy. I wasn’t sure where to start until a coworker recommended Dr. Benderev and shared what a great experience he had. I soon learned that several other coworkers had also gone to him, which gave me even more confidence in my choice.

Given how important this decision is, I did extensive research, and consistently found outstanding reviews highlighting the exceptional care Dr. Benderev provides. From my own experience, I can say those reviews are absolutely accurate. He takes the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the procedure, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable. He also follows up afterward to check on your recovery, which really shows his level of care and professionalism.

I highly recommend Dr. Benderev to anyone considering a vasectomy. It’s a straightforward, responsible option that can help couples avoid more invasive procedures, allowing partners to make the best decision for their family together.

I’m not going to pretend I was 100% ready to walk in and have this procedure, there’s always a little “buyer’s remorse” when it comes to your manhood. But Doctor Benderev and staff were very helpful with all my questions and concerns, and made the experience very pleasant. Dr. B walked me through the whole process before, during, and after the procedure and made me very comfortable. I was having a good conversation with Dr. B when he stopped me mid sentence and said we were finished already. If it was more than 10-12 minutes I’d be shocked. The procedure was painless for me, just 2 days of “kicked in the nuts” feeling afterwards but ice packs and Tylenol helped with that. Overall a great experience for me. I don’t think you can go wrong with going through Dr. Benderev for your procedure. Thanks again Dr. B

My husband recently had a vasectomy with Dr. Theodore Benderev, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The entire process was incredibly simple and virtually painless. Dr. Benderev was thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made us feel completely at ease.

What truly stood out was his bedside manner and level of care. He checked on my husband every step of the way during the procedure and has continued to check in throughout recovery. My husband is recovering extremely well, and we felt genuinely supported the entire time.

Dr. Benderev is reassuring, professional, and excellent at what he does. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth, straightforward, and stress-free. We highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.

Incredibly easy, fast and safe experience. My wife and I were in the office for only 30 minutes, the procedure itself was less than 15 minutes. Dr Benderev explains the entire procedure in easy to understand language throughout every step. I cannot recommend him more than I am right now. His staff is very knowledgable and helpful. Dr Benderev calls you later in the day to check on you and provides his cell phone number in case of any questions.

5 stars – Exactly as described, and then some.My experience with Dr. Benderev went exactly and smoothly as described from the very first consultation through the procedure itself. His bedside manner is fantastic. He talked me through every step the entire time and even kept the mood light with normal chit-chat to distract from the moment. It made a big difference.

Recovery has been smooth because I followed his instructions to a T. One thing that really stuck with me was when he reminded me that, despite any uncertainty or temporary unpleasantry leading up to the procedure, the recovery and overall risk for a man is far less than what a woman goes through with a permanent procedure. That perspective alone is reason enough to do it.

Highly recommend Dr. Benderev if you’re considering this. Professional, clear, and genuinely considerate.

Sean K

Such a painless, quick and easy experience from start to finish. Dr. Benderev is down to earth, personable and professional. Anyone who is hesitant or anxious about the procedure shouldn’t be! After one day of recovery, just icing, I feel totally fine with no pain meds necessary. Taking it easy with nothing too strenuous for a week just to be safe, but honestly such a mellow, virtually pain free experience. I highly recommend Dr. Benderev, he is a genuine good person who truly cares for his patients and will help with any questions or concerns both before and after the procedure.

Kevin Crowley

I was very nervous about getting a vasotomy done but Dr. Benderev was absolutely amazing. The entire process was quick and easy. I felt like I was in great hands and everything went very well. I am extremely thankful for his professionalism and it is obvious that Dr. Benderev is extremely passionate about his work. If you are as nervous about the procedure as I was I would highly recommend opting for the laughing gas like I did. Recovery was very quick with very little pain. Follow his directions and trust that you are in good hands!! Total time for the procedure was less than 15 minutes!

Dr. Benderev made what could have been a stressful, life-changing decision feel completely manageable. From the very first conversation, he took the time to walk through all my options thoroughly, answer every question honestly, and make sure I felt genuinely informed before moving forward with anything. There was never any pressure – just clear, patient explanation until I felt confident in the choice I was making. If you’re weighing a significant medical decision and want a doctor who treats you like a partner in the process rather than just a patient, I can’t recommend him enough. The level of comfort and trust he builds is rare.

I recently had a vasectomy, and I can honestly say the entire experience was far easier and smoother than I expected. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and attention to detail.

Dr. Benderev was exceptional. He was incredibly kind and gentle throughout the procedure, and he took the time to talk me through every step so I always knew what was happening. That level of communication made a huge difference in keeping me comfortable and at ease.

The procedure itself was quick and virtually stress-free. I was surprised at how simple it felt, both physically and mentally, thanks to the calm and supportive environment the doctor and his team created.

The staff also deserve recognition—they were welcoming, professional, and made the entire process seamless. What really stood out, though, was the level of aftercare. Dr. Benderev personally followed up with me through texts and phone calls to make sure I was recovering well and to answer any questions I had. That kind of attention and commitment to patient care is rare and greatly appreciated.

Overall, this was an outstanding experience. If anyone is considering a vasectomy and feeling uncertain, I can confidently say that with Dr. Benderev and his team, you’ll be in excellent hands.

From the beginning, everything was handled with professionalism and care. Dr. Benderev is very experienced, confident, and takes the time to explain everything clearly and in detail, which makes you feel very comfortable and well informed before the procedure. You can tell right away you are in good hands.

The entire process was incredibly fast and efficient—about 14 minutes and everything was completed smoothly without stress or complications. The clinic runs very organized, and the staff is polite, respectful, and focused on making the experience as easy as possible.

I also want to give a special mention to Jasmin at the front desk. She was very kind, welcoming, and helpful from the moment I arrived, which really made a great impression and set the tone for the visit.

Dr. Benderev and his staff were incredible. The procedure took less than 15 minutes and it was honestly painless. The recovery process is very smooth and I was provided with detailed post-op instructions as well as the Doctor’s personal number just in case if I had any questions or concerns after the procedure. Dr. Benderev made me feel very comfortable with his expertise, bedside manner, and positive energy. I highly recommend this practice to anyone considering a vasectomy.

Pro tip: I suggest the additional cost for the nitrous oxide.
