No-Needle No-Scalpel Vasectomy in
Aventura, Florida:
serving Dade and Broward Counties
(Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, and nearby communities) |
 |
Biscayne Medical Arts Center
(BMAC) Suite 203
| BMAC Suite
203, within the Aventura Hospital and Medical Center complex, is
the office of
Dr. Barry Blumenthal, who is kind
enough to allow
Dr. Doug Stein to
use his office
periodically to provide vasectomy
services.
Saturday
vasectomy dates are listed in our Outfield
Schedule Page. The counseling process
can be done online by (1) reviewing Dr. Stein's
vasectomy page, (2) viewing the
online counseling video, and (3)
reading the
vasectomy info sheet (this is a PDF file viewable with
Acrobat Reader®, available
here as a free download if you don't already have a copy of
Acrobat Reader® on your computer).
So only one visit is required, but you will have Dr. Stein's
office, home, and cell phone numbers so that you can always reach him
if you have questions after your procedure. You will also be given a
mailer, so that you can send a semen sample to
Dr. Stein's Tampa office 8 weeks after your vasectomy to be
sure that your semen is sperm-free.

The total fee for the
vasectomy procedure and follow-up semen checks is $490. Dr.
Stein is one of the most experienced vasectomy doctors in the
United States (over 18,000 procedures) and provides the service
for a fee that is less than the fee at most other offices
because he feels that vasectomy should be affordable for men whose
income is not high. He incurs expenses to travel to
Aventura from Tampa, to overnight in Aventura before the day of
the clinic, and to pay for use and staffing of the office. On June
23, 2007, 18 men had scheduled, but 10 men either cancelled at the
last minute or simply did not show up for their appointments.
Therefore, a
nonrefundable deposit of $100 is required to be scheduled.
This can be paid by providing a VISA/MasterCard number to
the Tampa office (813-972-1365 or 866-827-8463) or by mailing a
check or money order payable to Douglas G. Stein, MD to the Tampa
office (Douglas G. Stein, MD, PA; 3000 E Fletcher Avenue; Suite
330; Tampa, FL 33613). The balance of the fee ($390)
is due on the day of the vasectomy, payable by cash or
check. If you would like to pay the balance by VISA/ MasterCard,
you must call your card number to the Tampa office at least one
day before the procedure. If your vasectomy is covered by an
insurance company with which Dr. Stein is a contracted
provider, your deposit will be returned to you when we are paid by
your insurance company. Itemized and properly coded receipts are
provided, and these may be submitted to insurance companies with
which Dr. Stein is not a contracted provider in an attempt to get
reimbursement or credit toward your deductible.

Financial Aid
If you have no health insurance and your income is low, you may
qualify for financial aid under
Title 10 from the
Broward County
Health Department or from the
Dade County Health
Department. Click for details. Dr. Stein is
the provider for the Broward County Health Department, whereas the Dade
County Health Department will refer qualified men to another physician for
the vasectomy procedure. Since Title 10 funds are federal (not county)
funds, men need not reside in a county to be eligible for its support, so
men from Dade County may go to Broward (and vice-versa) for financial
assistance. |
