Theodore Benderev, MD

Pain was the number one apprehension I had about having this procedure done. In order to mitigate this fear, I sought out the best doctor I could find in the southern California area. I traveled an hour from Riverside, CA to see Dr. Benderev… Worth it!
His experience in this sensitive area goes above and beyond what is found by many doctors offering this procedure. And his calm bedside manner is extremely reassuring during this stress inducing time.
On to the procedure itself, easy and painless. No, really… it was painless! The «no-​needle» administration of the anesthesia was perfect, it hurt less than a small rubber band snap. It’s not even worth mentioning. After that, the procedure is done quickly; 10−15mins tops again with no pain. In fact the worst part about the whole experience was the alcohol swab on a freshly shaved scrotum!
It’s been 2 days since the procedure and I’m just a little tender down there but I feel great! Dr. Benderev even called me from his personal cell to check in on my progress. I’m still taking it easy but I expect a full recovery in just a few more days.
I know you’re nervous so why go anywhere else? Dr. Benderev is the man!!!

I Just who explains things very thoroughly and clearly. The actual procedure was painless and quick.
I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Benderev is the only one to trust when you’ve decided that you’re done having kids! His experience, tools and technique are the best, and he is so humble and has such great follow up that you’ll be glad you made the choice to trust him.

I didn’t feel a thing! Really… not during the surgery and not after the surgery. Note: you still have to take it easy for awhile, even though you feel perfectly fine.
Plus, Dr. Benderev spent the first appointment fully educating me on the pros, cons, reasons for, reasons against, discussion of the procedure, and risks. This was useful, as I sought Dr. Benderev AFTER seeing another specialist for a consultation. Dr. Benderev was so much more thorough. I decided without hesitation that this guy knows what he is doing on a higher level, and takes pride in his work.
His office, staff, scheduling, everything was absolutely impeccable.

Dr. Benderev is the best in his industry. Very knowledgeable and professional. Easiest process. Staff was excellent!

Dr. Benderev is amazing. When it comes to your boys, you want to make sure they’re in the right hands (chuckle). Doc has a ton of experience, and after doing a ton of research, I couldn’t choose anyone other than Dr. Benderev. The funny thing is that he’s so modest about his accomplishments in his field. Doc even has patents on the tools used to deliver anesthetic with minimal pain. Between that and the no-​scalpel procedure, I’m glad I chose Dr. Benderev for my vasectomy procedure.
Setting everything up was a breeze, and a damn good value for what you’re getting. The whole process was pleasant and easy. The actual procedure took less than 10 minutes. Dr. Benderev and I were chatting about North Korea and the rising tensions in the peninsula, next thing I know he says we’re done! Can’t beat that with a stick.
If you’re searching around for info and trying to decide where to have your procedure, look no further. This is the only doctor you will want to see.

This doctor Ted Benderev is the real deal folks. Coming from the most skeptical, hard to please person on earth about medical care and someone who hates going to the doctor I honestly have to say he deserves 10 stars not 5. As any man knows anytime something goes on in that region of our body it is the end of the world. I recently had terrible urinary problems with severe pain so I decided it was too much to bear and I went ahead and bit the bullet and started looking for a urologist. My wife and I called all over and everyone else was not very helpful at all. Another urologist office recommended Ted Benderev and I am glad they did. He is down to business and extremely intelligent! I don’t care much for bed side manner as I like to get right down to business and find out what is wrong but that was also above excellent. If you want someone who is extremely educated, extremely intelligent, and extremely experienced then look no further. Dr Ted Benderev is your guy.
In regard to Meegan Hendrickson or the nurse in his office. If they handed out the nicest person in the world award she would be the winner hands down. She will make you feel extremely comfortable in a not so comfortable situation with her smile, positive attitude and friendly demeanor. She also went out of her way when they had a cancelation to get me in because she knew I was in dire pain from our phone conversation.
10 stars all the way around!!!

Found Dr. Benderev on Unilocal.Decided to make appointment based on the good reviews. Got the procedure done after the initial appointment. It was a painless & good experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Benderev.

I was scared to death to get it done but when it was time Dr Benderev made it easy for me no pain at all

A pleasant experience for a not so pleasant procedure (at least that’s what we all think beforehand). Dr. Benderev was very informative and consulted me through the entire process. The procedure was fast and pain free.

When you decide you’re done having kids, Dr. Benderev is the guy to see. I won’t go into extreme details here… I’ll just say it was faster and easier than I thought it would be. I can’t imagine it being possible for the incision to have been any smaller. I was only sore for the day of the surgery and was lifting my 30 pound son into his high chair a few days later. This was against Dr. Benderev’s instructions, of course. I’ll admit it was a little scary taking off my underwear the next day and seeing blood spots. The icing on the cake for me was it only cost around $ 60, since I was at my insurance deductible for the year!
I have two minor gripes, but they aren’t enough to bring this down from 5 stars — 1) you have to pay to park in the adjacent lot — I believe it was about $ 4 for both of my appointments. 2) On my first visit the waiting room was kind of hot and I had to wait about a half hour. Other than that, I’m a happy guy — and half the man I used to be.

Very professional, friendly and well staffed office. The doctor was very professional in his process and awesome bedside manner. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I would highly recommend.

I’ll keep this short and sweet. Went in for a vasectomy and was scared beyond belief. Dr Benderev made the procedure easy and painless. Great doctor and bedside manner!
I was beyond shocked how fast and easy it was.
I was in and out in 45 minutes and the whole procedure was only 15 minutes total. When he said «I’m all done «I was shocked.
Bottom line — fast and easy… I am writing this while holding a bag of frozen veggies on my sack… Trust me. I wouldn’t be writing this now if the experience wasn’t so good.
Stop being a chicken people. It did not even hurt.

he’s a great dr. i had surgery and after care and he is very caring and explains everything to you, i would reccomend him to anyone

Absolutely phenomenal doctor and experience! I was hesitant about having the procedure done going in… once I met Dr. Benderev I was totally at ease with my decision. The procedure took less than 15 minutes and was completely comfortable and painless. No pain and very little discomfort following the procedure, felt completely normal when I woke up the day after my procedure. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone considering have this procedure done, you that you will not be disappointed with your decision!

Dr. Benderev was referred to me, and I’m glad he was. He is awesome. I honestly could not have been more at ease and happy with the way that the entire process went, right from the initial consultation. I will also say that even if you do not live around this area and you are considering a vasectomy, it’s worth it to make the trip to see the doctor. Dr. B gets an A+!

Dr. Benderev was a very good to my friend. He doesn’t write English so I’m writing for him. My friend went in for a vasectomy and Dr. Benderev made him feel at home, I went in to help translate and I can tell you that the staff as well as the Doctor were very helpful. I found Dr. Benderev on Google, made the appointment and went in. My friend was overall a bit nervous but after the procedure was done he was very happy to know that it was over very quickly and relatively pain free. My friend and I went to have lunch after words and pretty much went about our day. I strongly recommend him to any man or woman. If you live in the area go talk to im first. I promise you, you will not be let down.

Dr. Benderev was highly recommended to me by many of my friends. I’m happy to say that he lived up to my high expectations. I got a vasectomy 2 days ago and am recovering just fine. The procedure itself was quick and painless. He kept me talking which eased my nerves. Both he and his staff were friendly and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone that asked.

Dr. Benderev and his staff were very friendly and professional. They go out of their way to create the most comfortable environment possible. I went to Dr. Benderev because three different co-​workers had recommended him. I guarantee I will continue the trend and recommend Dr. Benderev to anyone in need of his services.

Dr. Benderev did an amazing job. The preconciltation was comprehensive and not rushed. His staff was courteous and friendly.
The operation itself was quick and painless. He kept me talking the whole time and I was done before I knew it was happening. If you are going to do it go to Dr. Benderev.
