No-Needle No-Scalpel Vasectomy
in West Palm Beach, Florida: |
 |
Lakeshore Office Park Suite 100
 |
| Dr. Mike Ahmed
of Palm Beach Family Physicians is kind enough to allow
Dr. Doug Stein to use his office
periodically to provide vasectomy services.
Friday
afternoon vasectomy dates are listed in our Outfield Schedule
Page. The fee is $490. Some insurance plans (those with which Dr.
Stein is a contracted provider) are accepted.
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).
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 8 weeks after your vasectomy to be sure
that your semen is sperm-free.
