Hi Bob!

Wouldn't that be a good sidekick name? Vas. Anyway, my name is Mark and simply put, I chose your 'only' doctor, Dr. Mostowfi, (Dr. Q) as a direct result of listening to your audio podcast interview, The Big Snip Part 1. Part 2 was pretty awesome too. Sounds like you and your crew have a lot of fun in life. Very high quality show. Much better than 'three guys and three beers' podcast I once knew of. Yep, had my initial appt. yesterday and I really talked you up. Dr. Q was very impressed that I was referred to him by the audio clip. He had not heard it yet, so I sent him the link...he didn't lead on that he was very computer savvy. I actually had my snipping scheduled with another doctor until I found out he did not do the No-Needle, No-Scalpel method. I searched for someone that did, and that lead me to the V-Clinics and eventually your interview after I googled for more info on Dr. Kiu. What a wonderful idea, effort and tribute to undertake. I appreciate people that do shit like that, cause I'm the same way. So hey, I guess you could say you made a 'deferens' in my life, or at least next month when I get my Big Snip. There should be a button on the V-Clinics website to your interview!

Just wanted to let you know you got in my ears,

Mark,

NO. FUCKING. WAY! Ha!

Pardon the profanity, but this is simply incredible. I've been producing BFN Networks for close to 9 years now, and this is BY FAR the best praise we've ever received for our show. Also, "you made a 'deferens' in my life" is the pun to end all puns. Far superior to any other, so I tip my hat to you.

I'm happy that we could assist in helping you make this decision about your future. When it came time for me to do further research on Dr. Q and the procedure itself, I was more than a little dismayed by the LACK of information provided by others. Even worse, when you stumble across site after site full of ignorant (and borderline insulting) opinions and faith-based DISinformation, it doesn't do much to assure that you're making the right decision, let alone a competent one. I'm a firm believer that only when you're informed can you make an informed decision, so I decided to document my own experiences with the hope that I could shed more light on the subject. After all, there's plenty of reading material explaining what a vasectomy is, but there was practically nothing on what happens during the procedure as well as what you might (should?) expect before and after. I wanted to change that. Lay it all out in simple yet detailed layman's terms, inject a little humor and -- voila! -- we had an excellent subject to cap a stellar season of BFN Networks!

Thanks for tuning in, Mark. Also, I thank you profusely for taking the time to post your feedback! If you feel so inclined, come back and tell us about your own experience. That would be awesome!

Last but not least, please give my regards to Dr. Q. It was a pleasure working with him on this.

Sincerely,
Justin Velander Holt
