Bio
<!--StartFragment-->
I am a board-certified urologist with a recognized specialty in Male Reproductive Medicine and Microsurgery. I went into private practice in 2004 after an academic career that spanned 15 years, having served on the UNC faculty where I was a Clinical Professor
of Surgery/Urology and assistant chief of the urology division. I am committed to providing the highest
caliber care for all of my patients.
Over the past two decades, I have built a reputation for practicing evidence-based
medicine with integrity. I have a
long history of working with local and regional reproductive endocrinologists,
gynecologists, urologists, and primary care providers to provide couples comprehensive,
state-of-the-art <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Male</em> <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Factor Infertility</em> diagnosis and
treatment. I use the most innovative and
effective procedures and surgical techniques. In fact, there are a number of practice areas like <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">microsurgical vasectomy reversals, microsurgical
varicocele repair, reconstructive surgery for obstructive azoospermia, surgical
sperm harvesting, and no-scalpel vasectomies,</em> where I have more years of experience
than any other urologist in North Carolina.
I received my MD degree from
The Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, followed by a residency in
urology at the University of South Florida Hospitals in Tampa. I went on to complete a <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">nationally recognized</em> <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">postdoctoral fellowship in Male Reproductive
Medicine and Surgery</em> at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. I have
served as President of the Durham-Orange County Medical Society and the
Carolina Urological Association, and am a charter member of The Society for the
Study of Male Reproduction with the American Urological Association. I am an active member of The Society of Male Reproduction and Urology with The American Society Of Reproductive Medicine.
