Albany Med Urology; R. Charles Welliver, M.D.

Dr. Welliver and the crew has helped me so much with my testosterone levels. I was a mess before now my levels are in range thank you Dr. Welliver and Jason

I came here for a vasectomy and the entire experience from start to finish was so unbelievably positive. Dr. Welliver was my surgeon and made the initial consultation so much less awkward with his personable and lighthearted attitude.

Insurance required a month’s wait before I could get the surgery, which was frustrating but had nothing to do with them. Once scheduled, I was a little confused when they told me they couldn’t tell me what time to come in until the day before surgery. This got in the way of organizing a ride there, so I had to drive myself at 6 in the morning and leave my car there, since I couldn’t drive home myself. A security guard and receptionist were both visibly confused when I showed up and said I had an appointment, which was pretty odd, but they soon realized I was, “on the list.”

Still, I couldn’t be happier with my procedure. Every person I interacted with was above and beyond kind and nurturing, which I really needed considering how nervous I was. I was so relieved when offered the option of sedation. When I came to, the hospital had no vegan options to offer (which in 2022 is strange to me), so all I could get was an apple juice. Again, still hard to complain considering how nice and professional everyone who took care of me was.

When I finally looked at my balls the next day, I was shocked to see that they’d pulled this off without any blood or bruising! I was led to expect a little of both, but there was NONE.
