Birth Control Appointments

SHORE Centre offers the following types of birth control appointments.

Birth Control Consultation (Virtual)

At this appointment you will have the opportunity to discuss all birth control options and find the one that fits your wants and needs best. This appointment will take place by telemedicine only at this time due to COVID-19. This means your appointment will not take place at our office, instead you will receive a telemedicine video link to speak with your clinician.

Referral for Vasectomy (Virtual)

A consultation appointment with a SHORE clinician to discuss vasectomy as a permanent method of birth control. SHORE Centre does not perform vasectomies, but we can refer you to a clinician/clinic who does. A referral is a required step to booking a vasectomy procedure. Typically, you can expect to hear back from the vasectomy clinician/clinic within 2 to 3 months with more information about booking your procedure. This appointment will take place by telemedicine only at this time due to COVID-19. This means your appointment will not take place at our office, instead you will receive a telemedicine video link to speak with your clinician.
