Q: How can experts at the Men’s Health Center help diagnose and treat male infertility?

We offer more than male fertility and reproductive health services. We offer a range of medical and surgical options to treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • MicroTESE: This may be one of the best treatments for male infertility.
  • Penile implant: This surgically placed device allows a man with erectile dysfunction to have an erection.
  • Sperm retrieval: Experienced surgeons use advanced microsurgical techniques to extract sperm for in vitro fertilization.
  • Vasectomy: This safe, minimally invasive in-office procedure provides a permanent surgical option for contraception.
  • Vasectomy reversal: While vasectomies are intended to be permanent, they can be reversed.
