The Flagler County Health Department has an excellent Vasectomy Program and may (depending on fund availability* each fiscal year) have Title X (Ten) financial assistance for men who qualify based on income and family size. The Flagler County Health Department partners with the Volusia County Health Department under the same contract for vasectomy services. Saturday morning vasectomies are performed for both Flagler and Volusia County Health Department patients by Drs. Doug Stein and Alex Galante in Ocala according to their schedule (click for dates) . To obtain services, just follow these steps:
Make and attend an appointment at which you will receive vasectomy counseling, undergo financial screening, and sign a permit (consent) for vasectomy. You will be given a referral, and copies of your consent and authorization will be mailed to Dr. Stein's office.
Call 813-536-1430 to make an appointment for a vasectomy on a date at least 30 days after the date on which you signed your consent (government regulation for Title X coverage). You can have your vasectomy at Dr. Stein and Dr. Galante's location in Ocala per their Outfield Schedule Page
Twelve (12) weeks after your vasectomy, you will have to mail (mailers provided) a semen sample to Dr. Stein and Galante's office to confirm that the semen is sperm-free and that you may stop other forms of contraception.
* - If Title X funds are no longer available for the current fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) in Flagler County, Flagler County residents may seek Title X assistance at the Seminole County Health Department. Or, if you wish to pay, the fee at Dr. Stein and Galante's office is $690, and separate counseling and procedure visits are not required.
