Ever just feel lucky? I do, for lots of reasons. Here’s one: I have the privilege of working in two of the healthiest cities in America. Using any set of measures, such as access to parks and health care, rates of obesity, smoking and inactivity, Los Angeles and San Francisco rank right up there. Feeling lucky […]
The Case of the Month is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic He hailed from Phoenix with 4 years of infertility. When first checked 3 years ago, his sperm count was very low as was the sperm motility. His sperm DNA fragmentation was elevated, adding further insult to injury. Since they had given a […]
I know, it’s an improbable and largely rhetorical title for a lecture. But it was Nerd Nite SF, and they asked me to talk about something provocative and daring in medicine. Fertility as a tool to measure health. Smacked and Smashed The bar was packed with hundreds of San Francisco tech titans, gamers, developers and […]

This Father’s Day I want you to think a little differently. As the love pours in from the family, or the family to be, give something back this year. There’s new meaning out there to being the best man (and father) you can be. And that involves taking great care of yourself. Not only are […]
