Dr. Bercier completed a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry at the University of Ottawa in 2006 before studying medicine and completing a MD with honours in 2010.

In 2015, Dr. Bercier began training for no-scalpel, no-needle vasectomy procedures under Dr. Doug Stein, a certified, world-renowned urologist based in Tampa Bay, Florida. Since completing his training, Dr. Bercier has performed over 25,000 vasectomies in five clinics in Ottawa, Gatineau, Hawkesbury, Montreal and Kingston.  In 2019, he trained under Dr. Stein again, this time to learn how to perform in-clinic vasovasostomies. Since then, Dr. Bercier has performed hundreds of vasectomy reversals. Dr. Bercier has also performed over 1000 circumcisions.

Dr. Bercier is part of the World Vasectomy Network, working with No-Scalpel Vasectomy International. He travelled to Cap-Haïtien, Haiti, in December 2019 to set up contraception clinics and teach the no-needle, no-scalpel technique to local doctors.

Since 2022, Dr. Bercier has been invited to speak on various topics related to vasectomy, vasectomy reversal, and circumcision at numerous international conferences and seminars. He regularly presents to urologists, family physicians, obstetrician-gynecologists, and general surgeons on optimizing techniques and clinical practices, improving procedural efficiency and safety, and managing post-vasectomy pain. Dr. Bercier also welcomes colleagues from around the world to assist them in refining their vasectomy, vasectomy reversal, and circumcision techniques.

In 2025, Dr. Bercier, internationally recognized for his expertise, served as a scientific peer reviewer for the new American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines entitled Vasectomy: AUA Guideline (2026).

In 2025 and 2026, he also worked on the publication of his research examining the risk of post-vasectomy infection in the office setting, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and the improvement of outpatient surgical practices.

His patients, many of whom are colleagues and doctors themselves, come from across the country and the world to benefit from his surgical services. Whether from British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador or Nunavut, from the United States or even from certain African countries.
