  1. “Yes, vasectomies can be reversed, but I’m sure once you have it you won’t regret it.”
  2. “It sounds like you might be a little nervous. Don’t worry, this is a pretty minor procedure, and the doctor doing it is the best we have. You’re in great hands.”
  3. “It’s normal to feel a little nervous before a procedure like this one.”
  4. “It sounds like you have a few more questions you’d like answered. Let me grab the doctor quickly so he can answer them for you.”
