KENNETH R. POPOWICH

MD, CCFP, FCFP

Dr. Popowich is a graduate of the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine. He completed his residency training in Family Medicine in 1983. He has practiced Family Medicine for over seventeen years before switching his focus to the surgical subspecialties - exclusively as of January, 2001. He has always maintained a surgical interest, having been a regular assistant in the operating room and a long standing member of the cardiac surgery team in Calgary.

Dr. Popowich has many years of experience in performing vasectomies, first by the traditional method and later by the newer No Scalpel Technique. It is this No Scalpel method that is currently used. To date, he has performed well over ten thousand of these procedures. Dr. Popowich has also taught many instructional courses on this procedure. These courses have been at the local, provincial and international level in conjunction with major medical meetings.

His referral base consists of over four hundred family physicians and surgical specialists who regularly refer men for vasectomy. As of 2007, Dr. Popowich has given up his hospital practice to work exclusively in his vasectomy practice.
