I went to Dr. Allen for a vasectomy after looking over his web site and talking to his front office staff. I must admit I was a little nervous but I realized that millions have had it done so what could go wrong.
I meet with Dr. Allen for a consultation and the first impression of him was that I was sort of bothering him. He was not very personable, or very friendly, but at this point I already paid $300 so I was committed. The day of the surgery arrived and I went in for the procedure.
Dr. Allen performed the Vasectomy which was one of the most painful things I have ever done. The pulling part was so painful I thought I was going to pass out. Now I can take the pain, that was not what bothered me the most. My main problems were two things.
1. After the surgery, Dr. Allen put a small gauze pad over the bleeding hole from the surgery and said give it about ten minutes to stop bleeding then left the room. He gave me absolutely no follow up procedures, no instructions what so ever, he just left the room. No one ever came back, here Ii am lying here fully exposed, and having no clue as to what I was supposed to do next. After about a half an hour I finally bandaged up the best I could, got dressed and went to the check out lady. Could you imagine doing that to someone, just leaving them there and walking out of the room?
2. The second thing was the amount of pain I was in for the next 6 months. The right side of my groin was killing me. I went back to him and he said it was normal, that the clip he put on was leaking and that I shouldnt worry about it. I also pointed out that I could clearly feel the metal clips and that it was worrying me. He told me I just had to give it a year or so until it calcifies over. I can still feel the clips and it still hurts. If he would of just been honest with me.
I warn you all to avoid this "doctor" at all cost. Nobody should ever be treated like this. A vasectomy is a very personal thing, and you want to feel that the doctor actually cares about you. Trust me Dr. Allen in Plano does not! Just trying to save you my pain.
