Not for women. Go elsewhere if you're female, seems to be best oriented towards male anatomy.

I went to Dr. Perlow for a vasectomy. First, Dr. Perlow's office verified my insurance & my out-of-pocket expenses immediately & then contacted me to schedule the appt. They were able to get me in THE NEXT DAY! Dr. Perlow performs the consultation & the vasectomy on the same day, first visit. The whole process is EXTREMELY quick. I was in the clinic for less than an hour TOTAL. Procedure was mostly painless, minus the needle that administers the anesthetic. Some reviewers have mentioned that Dr. Perlow does not wait long enough for the anesthetic to begin working before beginning the procedure. I was upfront with him and told him of these reviews. He assured me that this is nonsense because xylocaine works IMMEDIATELY. He then proved to me that it works immediately. No need to wait at all. The issue, he explained, is that it can be difficult to administer the anesthetic precisely where it needs to go to numb the pain. No different than novocaine at the dentist -- sometimes they have to administer more when the patient feels discomfort. My only complaint is that the whole process feels quite rushed and impersonal, but it is nice to be in and out without much drama. I have only experienced mild discomfort since the procedure took place three days ago, and I feel like I'm well on my way to a full recovery using only Aleve to address the very minor pain/discomfort.

Dr perlow seems irritated if you have many questions about your problem. If I am paying someone to help me I expect someone to be willing to listen and answer questions . He seemed irritated when I had questions and concerns about what was happening with me.

Terrible experience for vasectomy. Not enough anesthetic during procedure. Refused to proscribe any pain meds and argued with me and changed their story on how recovery works when I called back 3 days later due to soreness and pain. Staff/Dr. not very acommodating. Would NOT recommend.

Vasectomy went fine, but have had a terrible time trying to schedule a follow up. The office is closed with no explanation, nobody picks up the phones and in general it is a confused mess.
