If you're in Scotland and you've been quoted a long NHS wait for a vasectomy, or around £2,000–£2,500 at one of the major private hospitals, you already know the options look thin.
Northern Medical offers an expert private vasectomy for £725, all-inclusive — the free phone consultation, the procedure, and the post-vasectomy semen analysis are all included. Dr Mike Fabricius has performed over 1,000 no-scalpel vasectomies.
We're in Newcastle, right next to the A1, with fast trains from Edinburgh and Glasgow, plenty of free parking, and the Metrocentre five minutes away. Most Scottish patients travel down and return home the same day. The first step is a free phone consultation.
Edinburgh Waverley to Newcastle Central is around 90 minutes by train — for many Scottish patients it's the simplest option. From Glasgow, it's roughly three hours via Edinburgh.
From Newcastle Central, the clinic is a five-mile taxi ride, typically 15 to 20 minutes. No parking to find, no luggage to carry, and you can rest on the way home.
The clinic sits right next to the A1, so we're easy to reach by car from anywhere in Scotland. There's free parking on site with no time restrictions. The Metrocentre is five minutes away — a natural place for anyone travelling with you to spend a couple of hours, and an ideal spot to stop for food before you set off home. Many Scottish visitors will already know it.
The fee covers the free phone consultation, the vasectomy itself with local anaesthetic and all supplies, and the post-vasectomy semen analysis that confirms the procedure has worked.
The semen analysis is done by post from anywhere in the UK — no second trip required. Many private providers charge these as separate fees, adding £150–300.
There are no hidden costs and no add-ons at booking.
We use the no-scalpel technique under local anaesthetic. A single small puncture replaces the incision used in older techniques, meaning lower rates of bruising and infection and a faster recovery.
The procedure takes around 20 minutes; you'll be at the clinic for under an hour. Dr Fabricius has performed over 1,000 vasectomies using this technique.
A vasectomy is a minor day procedure — no general anaesthetic, no overnight stay needed, and no restriction on flying or taking a train the same day. Most Scottish patients head home the same afternoon.
If you'd rather stay over, the Premier Inn Newcastle Metrocentre is three minutes from the clinic. Either way, we'd suggest taking it easy for 24 to 48 hours once you're home.
The process is designed to make the journey from Scotland as straightforward as possible — five clear steps, no second trip, no surprises.
The first step is a free telephone consultation with Dr Fabricius or Dr Sewart. It usually lasts 15 to 20 minutes and covers your medical history, the procedure in detail, the risks and benefits, and any questions you have. You can request a consultation through our website, by email, or by phone.
If you decide to proceed, we'll arrange the procedure for a date that fits around your travel. Most Scottish patients prefer a mid-morning or early afternoon appointment, allowing for easy travel arrangements in both direction. Payment of the £725 fee is taken one week before the procedure date, by bank transfer or card. This secures your appointment and means there's nothing to sort out on the day.
Arrive 15 minutes before your appointment. The procedure itself takes around 20 minutes under local anaesthetic; you'll be at the clinic for under an hour.
16 weeks after your procedure, you will receive your home semen analysis kit by post. It works the same way for every patient regardless of where they live in the UK, so no second trip to Newcastle is required. The analysis is included in the £725 fee.
Once we have the semen analysis result confirming zero sperm, we write to confirm the vasectomy is complete and you can stop using other contraception.
