“You and your staff were wonderful! I love the relaxed and laid back atmosphere that y’all provided especially the Music! Definitely helped my anxiety. Thank you.”
Our procedure room is equipped with a Bose Bluetooth speaker synched with Amazon Prime Music, Pandora and Spotify. The music is an important part of making for as pleasant a vasectomy experience as possible. That Dr. McHugh performs 25-30 vasectomies a month and 50-60 vasectomy reversals a year, helps also!

Thank you for allowing us to participate in your care.
A common question asked is whether the reversal will be harder if clips were used or if the patient was told by the urologist “I took out a section and burned it.”
In the vast majority of cases this has no influence on the microscopic vasectomy procedure.
The procedure is harder if both sides of the vasectomy were done in the vas deferens closest to the testicle-the convoluted vas. This area is smaller in diameter and not straight (convoluted) and this makes the repair a little harder.
Whether clips or burned, there is not difference in how difficult the reversal will be. Having had clips makes the area of the vasectomy easier to locate.
The amount of vas tube removed is usually not an issue unless there is a very large segment removed and this is customarily not done.
Of note, if you have had two vasectomies done, this could be an issue. If you had a complication after the vasectomy, say a large hematoma or infection that had to resolve or be operated on, these may affect the repair. On all unusual issues, be sure to make the reversal doctor aware.
The Lewis and Clark expedition took 2 years, 4 months and ten days, but it should not take you that long to figure out where you should have your vasectomy or microscopic vasectomy done.
Board certified anesthesia, board certified urologist, practice owned accredited urological surgery center and over 30 years of experience are all good reasons help you “Discover” your urologist.

Let’s get started!
Ga No Scalpel Vasectomy: Whether the concern about having a no scalpel vasectomy is pain, cost, convenience or safety…we have you covered! Check out the link below-“Everything you’d ever want to know about having a vasectomy” at Northeast Georgia Urological Associates. Dr McHugh does between 30-40 a month, hundreds a year and several thousand in his 30 year urological career in Northeast Georgia.
The procedure itself: All no scalpel vasectomies across America use a small hemostat to spread the skin (i.e. no scalpel), however whether after dividing the vas deferens tube the urologist uses cautery, clips or suture the success rate of 1/2000 is about the same. It becomes about the preference of the urologist. Dr. McHugh uses electrocautery (fulgurate or heat). We have learned over the years that many patients prefer not having the foreign body of the clip left in the scrotum. (See link above for the McHugh Method eBook on Vasectomy)
So the answer to the question is that there are several combinations of how the procedure is billed and options re: how it is performed. We do them all. We have done thousands of vasectomies over the years and perform hundreds a year.
“We know a thing or two about doing vasectomies, because we’ve done a vasectomy or two.”
Dr. McHugh is Georgia’s most experienced no scalpel vasectomy and microscopic vasectomy reversal urologist.
“The office staff was very nice and very informative to me and my wife. The doctor was very personable and made you feel comfortable. He explained everything he was doing and explained it before he did it. I would recommend him to anyone and you don’t find that in many doctors these days.” Z.S.

Jeff Henke2024-02-19Dr. McHugh and his staff are all excellent! Best experience ever with them all. They were very patient and knowledgeable with all of my concerns and questions before the vasectomy. If you are thinking about using him don't think about it any longer, just book the appointment and be happy that you did. I give him and his staff an 11 out of 10 and have zero regrets in my decision to use his services!
Mitch Rider2024-02-17Dr. Mchugh and ALL of his staff were amazing. This experience could not have been any better. The pre/post op nurse was super friendly and helpful making sure all questions were answered and my wife and I were comfortable. The nurses who were with me during the procedure had great patient care and talked me through everything as it happened. The Anesthesia Nurse was also very reassuring and helpful. I was awake the whole time but felt nothing. I could not have asked for a better experience.
