Male Fertility Doctor Serving Santa Clarita
Starting a family can be an emotional and uncertain process, especially when answers are hard to find. For men in Santa Clarita encountering fertility challenges, The Turek Clinic offers advanced, specialized care focused on male reproductive health. Led by Dr. Paul Turek, an internationally recognized reproductive urologist, we provide individualized evaluation and treatment plans designed to improve your chances of conception and to support you and your partner through every step of the journey.
Understanding Male Fertility Challenges
Male fertility issues can stem from several distinct conditions, each requiring a tailored approach:
Azoospermia: This may be caused by a physical blockage (obstructive azoospermia) or by impaired sperm production within the testes (non-obstructive azoospermia).
Oligospermia: Typically defined as fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen, which can reduce the likelihood of natural conception.
Cryptozoospermia: In some men initially diagnosed with azoospermia, additional testing identifies very small numbers of sperm—opening additional options for intervention.
Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum can impair sperm production and quality, often due to increased temperature and altered blood flow. Varicoceles commonly begin in adolescence and can sometimes cause discomfort.

Our care philosophy is grounded in innovation, deep clinical expertise, and attentive patient support. Dr. Turek’s pioneering work in Sperm Mapping reflects the clinic’s commitment to minimally invasive methods that can identify viable sperm while potentially avoiding more invasive procedures. This technique has helped redefine how complex male fertility cases can be evaluated and treated.
Comprehensive Fertility Services Offered in Santa Clarita
The Turek Clinic offers a full spectrum of male fertility diagnostics and treatments, each selected to address the underlying cause—not just the symptoms:
- Semen Analysis: Evaluates sperm count, morphology, and motility to guide next-step testing and targeted treatment.
- Sperm Mapping: A precise technique used in non-obstructive azoospermia to locate sperm for use in assisted reproduction. The original page notes it can find sperm in 30% of azoospermic men after a failed microTESE.
- Microsurgical Reconstruction: Procedures designed to repair or reconnect parts of the reproductive tract to improve natural sperm release and fertility potential.
- Sperm Retrieval: Retrieves sperm not present in the ejaculate for use with IVF/ICSI. The original page states that following sperm mapping, sperm can be retrieved in almost half of men with azoospermia without needing a microTESE.
- Testicular Biopsy: A tissue-sampling procedure often used in non-obstructive azoospermia to evaluate sperm production and fertility potential.
- Varicocele Repair: Improves venous drainage and reduces testicular heat stress to support sperm production and quality.
- Ejaculatory Duct Resection: Treats ejaculatory duct obstruction, with the goal of improving sperm counts and pregnancy potential.
- Reverse Vasectomy: Surgical reconstruction to restore fertility after vasectomy by reconnecting the vas deferens and allowing sperm to return to the ejaculate.
Beyond Fertility: Comprehensive Sexual Health Services
Male reproductive care is broader than fertility alone. The Turek Clinic also treats sexual health concerns that can affect quality of life—and sometimes fertility:
- Low Testosterone (Hypogonadism): Hormone-based therapies can help improve energy, mood, libido, and fertility-related goals when appropriate.
- Testicular Implants: Options for men who have lost one or both testicles due to cancer, injury, or other causes—supporting confidence and well-being.
- Peyronie’s Disease: Treatments for penile curvature and discomfort related to fibrous scar tissue, aimed at improving function and comfort.
- Erectile and Ejaculatory Disorder: Targeted evaluation and treatment for performance and ejaculatory concerns that can interfere with conception and overall sexual health.
Painless Nitrous-Oxide Vasectomy
A vasectomy blocks sperm transport by sealing or dividing the vas deferens, preventing sperm from entering the ejaculate. Dr. Turek offers a refined no-scalpel option technique and, as described on the original page, combines it with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help reduce pain and anxiety.
Trustworthy Professionalism
Our team is committed to delivering careful, informed, and respectful care. We focus on identifying the true cause of fertility challenges and building a plan that is medically sound, practical, and aligned with your goals.
