I visited Dr. Coussens in September for a vasectomy consultation. He had decided before we even spoke that he wouldn't let me have the procedure because I wasn't at least 30 with kids (something that he could've explained in the 2 months I waited for him. I'm 27, and 18's the legal age). I couldn't even explain my side--he just kept talking past me. Apparently I was too young to not want kids but not too young to want them. Dr. Coussens insisted that I "might" meet someone who wants kids and be unable to stand by my choice (I have ended otherwise great relationships over this matter, and am currently with someone who shares my stance).

He also told me he wouldn't charge me, then billed me anyways 2 weeks later. Not only did I have to listen to him play grown-up for me and tell me that I secretly didn't know what I wanted and 'might' regret getting sterilized, but I also had to pay him for it.

Thankfully, I had an appointment lined up with another urologist, who agreed that it was my decision. I just got the procedure and am now relaxing with a bag of frozen peas. Overall, I know where I'll be taking my business from now on.
