Douglas G. Stein, M.D. is a urological surgeon who has been practicing urology in Tampa, Florida since 1983. Raised in Massachusetts, he graduated summa cum laude from Tufts College of Liberal Arts with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry and biology in 1974, and received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York City in 1978. In 1983, he completed a 5-year urology residency (2 years general surgery, 3 years urology) at the University of South Florida Affiliated Hospitals, whereupon he went into the private practice of urology in Tampa. He has been certified by the American Board of Urology since 1985, successfully completing the mandatory every-ten-year re-certification process in 1992 and 2003. His primary hospital affiliation has been with University Community Hospital where he was Chief of the Division of Surgical Subspecialties for 5 years. Within a broad practice of urological surgery, Dr. Stein has been performing vasectomies since 1983 and vasectomy reversals since 1984. He has been on the clinical faculty of the University of South Florida College of Medicine and now participates in the Graduate Medical Education program of Sun Coast Hospital in Largo, Florida by teaching the no-scalpel vasectomy procedure to physicians training in Family Practice. 

In 1989, Dr. Stein became one of the first urologists to perform vasectomy reversals in the office environment without compromising success rates, thereby eliminating facility and anesthesia fees and making vasectomy reversal affordable for couples for whom it may not have been an option. Since he established in 1998, men have come from all over the United States (including Alaska) and from several foreign countries to his Tampa office for successful vasectomy reversals at fees which were less than those available in their home towns and cities.
