My approach to patient care is highly personalized, as I recognize that men’s reproductive and sexual health is a delicate and sensitive subject. I take pride in caring for couples as a whole, with particular focus on how male-factor infertility impacts a couple’s fertility journey. I truly understand how special it is to help a couple achieve a pregnancy. In my practice, I emphasize the importance of my patients’ quality of life, tailoring treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique goals and needs.
