Welcome to the VasWeb Vasectomy and Reversal Centers of Florida!
Our Mission
To make vasectomy services so readily available, affordable, and personally acceptable that no pregnancies are caused by men who have reached a mature decision not to have any or any more children. This goal is achieved in part by also providing vasectomy reversals with success rates comparable to those of other experts, but at a cost which puts vasectomy reversal within the financial grasp of the average vasectomy patient, thereby making vasectomy itself more appealing.

Heather Freidin, CMA has a many-year experience in reproductive health that make her no less important to the organization than are our surgical skills, and we are well aware that a patient's first and last office contacts are usually with support personnel. Heather handles insurance and patient billing, payment processing, and ordering all medical and office supplies used by the practice, not to mention preparing all of the paperwork (pre-registrations, consents, and coded receipts) needed to be sure that the outfield schedule runs smoothly.Sergio Velasquez has been with Dr. Stein since 2011. He is the Spanish voice of the practice, responsible for providing our large Spanish-speaking patient population with information about vasectomy and reversal and for scheduling their appointments at all locations served by this practice. Sergio also scrubs, packs, and sterilizes the 60-70 sets of no-scalpel vasectomy instruments used by Drs. Galante and Stein at all locations every week, and loads the "Goody Bags" provided to each vasectomy patient with semen sample mailers, instructions, and promotional information and trinkets. He maintains our reversal instruments and sets up the procedure room for reversals.At our main office in Lutz, Sergio greets patients on vasectomy days and makes sure that they leave fully informed about follow-up care.
Our HOME OFFICE is in an office park in Lutz, just west of the intersection of US-41 and Crystal Grove Boulevard (which is Sunset Lane to the east of US-41).
The address is:
