| Vasectomy in Lakeland,
Florida: |

|
Planned
Parenthood
The Planned Parenthood
of Southwest and Central Florida clinic in
Lakeland is at 2250 E. Edgewood. Telephone (863) 665-5735. Saturday morning
vasectomies are performed every 6 to 8 weeks by Dr. Doug Stein. For exact dates, see Dr. Stein's Outfield
Schedule.
The fee is $390.
A
deposit of $100 is required to be scheduled (see below). 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), which you will be asked to sign prior to
your procedure.
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 12 weeks after your vasectomy to be sure
that your semen is sperm-free.
We also strongly encourage you to pre-register on our
On-line Vasectomy Registration page.
On arrival for your vasectomy, you will still have to complete a few forms
for Planned Parenthood, but your registration with Dr. Stein will be
complete.

To schedule, please call Dr. Stein's
office at 813-903-1902
or toll-free

Again, a

The deposit is fully
refundable until 14 calendar

non-refundable
thereafter for either

The deposit can be paid by providing a VISA/MasterCard

mailing a check or money order payable to Douglas G. Stein, MD to
his Tampa office (Douglas G. Stein, MD, PA; 3000 E Fletcher Avenue; Suite

is due on the day of the vasectomy, payable
to Planned Parenthood by cash, check,
or Visa/MasterCard.
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. To learn whether your
insurance company will cover a vasectomy at this site, please call your
carrier and ask the 5 questions listed here. |
