“Doctor, could you speak to me in plain English, please?!” I rarely hear this in my men’s health practice. It’s likely because I am aware that Medspeak, or the language of medicine, is a second tongue, and a very foreign one to many patients. Just as it’s important for doctors to have an in-depth understanding of medical […]
& This is not your average 1-year old. No, the Clinic by the Bay was conceived by a few individuals and gestated over a 4-year period before coming to life. As a living, breathing free clinic in San Francisco, it is a testament to hard work, commitment and the belief that we can make a […]
“I’ve been told that my cancer is now cured… how do I get my fertility back? Patients ask me this question weekly all the time and I am glad to help. Some of the most satisfying medical moments I’ve had are associated with these patients. But when I hear this call for help, it also […]
Honestly, it seems like I am the first one to say that testosterone is important for a healthy, long life. Clearly, men with low levels, termed hypogonadism, do not live as long as men with normal testosterone levels. I understand too, what testosterone isn’t and can’t do. So, I am entirely empathetic to patients who […]

What’s squishy, worm-like, fills the space in the scrotum above your left testicle, can ache after a run and wreak havoc on your fertility? No it’s not your Johnson; it’s a varicocele. A very-what? A vari-ko-seal. As someone who spends his entire day doing “below the belt” medicine, I’ve seen literally thousands of varicoceles. They’re […]
“Why Me? I take great care of myself.” I often hear this common question from men with low or no sperm counts who are unable to conceive. In fact, they usually are taking great care of themselves. The fact is, many cases of male infertility are actually genetic and have more to do with the […]
I see a lot of patients who think that their testosterone is good. Even I have been heard to say that it is the “elixir of a man’s life.” Indeed, testosterone is one seriously important molecule throughout men’s lives. In the womb, it determines anatomic maleness. And during puberty, when another splash of testosterone hits […]
& Something like 25,000 American men a year want more children after having a vasectomy. The more popular of two options for fatherhood after vasectomy is a vasectomy reversal; the other choice is sperm retrieval for men and in vitro fertilization (IVF, “test tube baby”) for their partners. Even though it is a surgical procedure […]
