"I'm very glad I got my procedure (vasectomy) done with Dr. Pearson. My initial appointment was a consultation and it was a few months ago. He gave me plenty of information and answered all my questions. His office then allowed me plenty of time to consider my options. When I finally decided to go forward with a vasectomy, I was able to schedule an appointment easily. It was very quick and I know I was in good hands. I can't thank Dr. Pearson and his staff enough for the care I was given."
