He watched it for a year, and then he had it removed. Dr. Drew’s recent encounter with prostate cancer is, alas, a common story written by an all-too-familiar cancer. Trusting the intuition of his doctors, he played his cards beautifully and has undoubtedly trumped his opponent for good. Sex and the Prostate What drew me to […]
I use telephone calls with patients like a stethoscope. They are great for checking in, finding out what’s going on and informing care. For connecting with patients, they beat office visits, email and even texting hands down. Don’t believe me? Read on. After the initial office visit, I typically communicate with patients by a series of short, […]
Did you see Angelina Jolie’s heartfelt letter to the public about her decision to have her breasts removed? It was based on a genetic blood test. Sobering. That, my friends is the power of medical genetics in action. Accurate. Predictive. Life saving. But is all genetic testing that good? Genetics Rocks It is unfathomable to me […]

The case of the month is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic. He was just an ordinary guy minding his own business. Until he tried to have kids and found out that he was sterile. No sperm. Not a speck. When I asked him what struck him first when he was told that he was […]
Are we approaching the Armageddon of infertility in America? It might seem that way looking at our long term decline in birth rates. To replace ourselves from generation to generation, we need each woman to have 2.1 births during her life. In the 1970s, that rate was at an all-time low of 1.74; in the […]
He looked great. Fit as a fiddle and sporting a head full of salt and pepper hair. “Doc, can I still have kids? Been single all my life but just met the woman of my dreams. Be honest, with me Doc, I’m 75 years old!” Time Waits For No One What changes occur in the […]
The thought never crossed your mind…until recently. You were focused on staying alive after that brutal bout with cancer. And now, some years later, your lovely partner is gazing at you with that wide and knowing smile and you realize that it’s time to have kids. But reality settles in, and you both realize that […]
The case of the month is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic. “You should considering fixing what might be the problem,” I told them on their first visit. They stole a glance at each other and then looked back at me, glassy-eyed and in disbelief. “Doctor Turek, with all due respect, we have failed […]
