10 stars! Dr. G is incredible. I’m about an hour past the procedure and all I’m experiencing right now is the expected minimal abdominal discomfort, which I would compare to minor indigestion. Dr. G and I talked during the whole procedure- amazing bedside manner- and my wife was by my side holding my hand, and I didn’t feel any pain.
First- no needle used for numbing! The jet applicator tool for numbing truly doesn’t hurt. It’s like a super weak rubber band snap on the skin for a millisecond- didn’t hurt. And then I was numb right where I needed to be.

For just a moment, I felt something that was almost leading to some minor pain towards the end of the procedure, and Dr. G was keenly aware, asked me, then paused, and got me some more numbing and then after it took effect in just a minute, he completed the procedure pain-free.

Dr. G- thank you. You are doing an incredible service for men, with a benefit for women not having to do a more invasive tubal ligation, and that you made the whole process so easy and pleasant. THANK YOU!
