Vasectomies $200 off for
"Training Cases"
- Having performed over 45,000 vasectomies, Dr. Stein is one of the
world's foremost trainers of the art of performing a quick and
elegant vasectomy with negligible discomfort. He has trained over
190 clinicians who have come to his Tampa/Lutz office from all over the
world, most from the USA, Canada, and Australia, some from Africa,
Europe, and South America. Because fingertip sensory and motor
function is so important, the first steps of vasectomy (accessing
the vas) are more like playing a guitar than like other forms of
surgery, which are almost all performed under direct vision. But it
takes time and practice to "get the feel" for separating the vas
from other elements of the spermatic cord. Trainees pay Dr. Stein on
a per-case basis, and some of that payment is transferred to the
patient in the form of a reduced fee. If the training-case-vasectomy
were an unpleasant process, patients would write poor reviews and we
would be unable to find future patients willing to be training cases.
So "training cases" take longer and involve more manipulation, but Dr.
Stein does all he can to still make it a pleasant experience. On
training days, Dr. Stein performs some of the vasectomies himself as
"observation cases", for which the discount is not
offered. During observation cases, the trainee may be asked to feel
the vas tubes before he or she observes while Dr. Stein performs the
vasectomy.
