No-Needle No-Scalpel Vasectomy in Gainesville Florida

At Planned Parenthood of North Central Florida, Saturday vasectomies are performed every 8 to 10 weeks by Dr. Doug Stein, who uses no-needle local anesthesia and a no-scalpel technique. For exact dates, see Dr. Stein's Outfield Schedule. The fee is $490. A deposit of $100 is required to be scheduled (see below). The counseling process can be done online by (1) reviewing Dr. Stein's vasectomy page, (2) viewing the online counseling video, and (3) reading the vasectomy info sheet (this is a PDF file viewable with Acrobat Reader®, available here as a free download if you don't already have a copy of Acrobat Reader® on your computer), which you will be asked to sign before your procedure. So only one visit is required, but you will have Dr. Stein's office, home, and cell phone numbers so that you can always reach him if you have questions after your procedure. You will also be given a mailer, so that you can send a semen sample to Dr. Stein's Tampa office 12 weeks after your vasectomy to be sure that your semen is sperm-free. We also strongly encourage you to pre-register on our On-line Vasectomy Registration page. On arrival for your vasectomy, you will still have to complete a few forms for Planned Parenthood, but your registration with Dr. Stein will be complete.

The deposit can be paid by providing a VISA/MasterCard number to Dr. Stein's Tampa office (813-972-1365 or 866-827-8463) or by mailing a check or money order payable to Douglas G. Stein, MD to his Tampa office (Douglas G. Stein, MD, PA; 3000 E Fletcher Avenue; Suite 330; Tampa, FL 33613). The balance of the fee ($390) is due on the day of the vasectomy, payable to Planned Parenthood by cash or Visa/MasterCard. Personal checks are not accepted.

If your vasectomy is covered by an insurance company with which Dr. Stein is a contracted provider, your deposit will be returned to you when we are paid by your insurance company. Itemized and properly coded receipts are provided, and these may be submitted to insurance companies with which Dr. Stein is not a contracted provider in an attempt to get reimbursement or credit toward your deductible.

Dr.Stein also performs vasectomies in Lake City and in Ocala, alternative North Florida locations if the Gainesville location or dates are not convenient.
