Vasectomy near Hardee County
(Wauchula, Zolfo, Bowling Green), Florida:
The Hardee County Health Department has a wonderful vasectomy program and may have Title X funding available for vasectomy. Their funds are awarded based on a sliding scale. You must be over 21 years old and wait 30 days after a consultation before you can have your procedure. Counseling and financial screening are done in the main health department clinic at 115 K D Revell Road in Wauchula, Florida 33873. Vasectomy services are then provided by Drs. Doug Stein and Alex Galante on certain "Vasectomy Days" (see schedule) at their office in Lutz/Tampa.
To check the status of the Hardee vasectomy
program or to make an appointment, please call
(863) 773-4161 Ext. 140
(If the staff is not helpful,
or if you leave a message and do not receive a return call within
24 hours, please call 813-536-1430 for assistance.)
If there are no more Title 10 funds for the current fiscal year
(July 1 - June 30), Hardee residents (or any Florida residents for
that matter) may want to consider applying for assistance through
the health department of a nearby county such as
Hillsborough,
Sarasota,
Manatee, or
Polk.
If you do not qualify for assistance, you may still have your vasectomy by Dr. Stein or Galante 30 or more days after a counseling visit for a fee of $400. If use of the Health Department service seems too cumbersome logistically (need for two visits separated in time by at least 30 days), you may have your vasectomy performed by Dr. Stein or Galante at their Tampa office for a fee of $590.
