Dr. Robert Pugach is a nationally recognized expert in the treatment of urological problems and has pioneered the use of minimally invasive therapies that minimize discomfort and allow patients to achieve the same benefits as with more invasive procedures.

At his Vasectomy Center of Excellence, Advanced Vasectomy, Dr. Pugach specializes in the No Needle No Scalpel Vasectomy. He is a pioneer in this technique as his interest in the No Scalpel technique grew after his trip to China where he learned how the procedure was safely and effectively used there since 1974 by Dr. Li Shunqiang. In North America a further refinement was to incorporate using a “jet spray” of Novocain that allows anesthesia to be given without a painful injection.  This remarkable technique means that vasectomies can be performed with NO Scalpel and NO Needle in 15 minutes with minimal discomfort!
