Exceptional! Dr. Shands has been my urologist for over 20 years. He is an outstanding physician with exceptional skill and knowledge. He’s also extremely personable and consistently prompt. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of urological care.

Complications from Vasectomy I had a vasectomy in February 2025 done by Dr. Courtney Shands. There was no nurse to help with preparation prior to surgery; it was just him and me in the little room which I think is odd considering it is a surgery to a valuable body part. Three days after procedure I had terrible pain and a hematoma on left side of scrotum. I had to call off work for a few days. I still have swelling on occasion. I think more dialogue before vasectomy would have been helpful and I am convinced an Open Ended Vasectomy would have been best for me but he never mentioned that method. He stuck with something he has probably been doing for decades (a Close Ended Vasectomy). Do research beforehand guys. This should not be advertised as a quick and painless three day recovery. I once was an active runner and biker but that is being put on hold due to this pain since February. I regret getting this done at his clinic. I found out a Doctor in South County does Open Ended so I'll share this here.
