Pinellas County has one of the premier county vasectomy programs in Florida, with a special Men's Health phone line, a committed administration, and a nurse dedicated to the program.
Vasectomy counseling is provided by appointment in Largo or Pinellas Park. Vasectomies are performed by Drs. Doug Stein and Alex Galante at their office in Tampa/Lutz on a flexible schedule. Partner consent is not required. As at all county health departments, patients must sign consent more than 30 days prior to the vasectomy procedure, whether or not they are seeking financial assistance under the federal Title 10 program. If you have health insurance, you may not be eligible for Title 10 assistance, and the health department may not be able to accept your insurance as payment. But chances are very good that Drs. Stein and Galante are contracted with your insurance company through their private office in Tampa/Lutz.
Vasectomy counseling is done mainly at the Mid-County Health Center at 8751 Ulmerton Road :
