Dedicated to your care
We are a group of providers dedicated to the care of our patients. We believe that vasectomy is the most effective, lowest cost and lowest risk long-term form of birth control available. Our office was established and built with the sole purpose of providing the most convenient, cost conscious and comfortable vasectomy experience. Our mission is to treat people the way we want to be treated.

Dr. Greg Griffith, M.D.
A special thank you to Dr. Greg Griffith who has now retired and enjoys time on his local farm, continuing to serve his community in new ways. Dr. Griffith provided general Urological care to East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia for nearly 20 years before focusing entirely on the same population’s vasectomy needs for nearly 10 years. He created the regions only no needle, no scalpel vasectomy clinic, making this minor procedure nearly painless.
