My Journey in Medicine

I decided to pursue urology and male infertility to significantly improve my patients’ lives and help people build their families. It’s such an honor to be a part of that process! I love seeing the baby pictures that I get from my patients, which constantly drives me to be the best doctor I can be.

I’m passionate about supporting people with fertility problems through education and personalized care. In my daily practice, I love helping my patients navigate common misconceptions surrounding fertility and answering their health questions. I have clinical expertise in fertility preservation, hypogonadism, vasectomies, and microsurgical vasectomy reversals.

Ever since completing my training in urology and male infertility, I have been a urologist at UT Southwestern, where I also teach courses to medical students and conduct cutting-edge research to advance knowledge in the field.

Infertility is a condition that can be difficult for patients to bring up with their doctors and for clinicians themselves to address. With compassionate care, I walk my patients through their options and help them create a strategy so they can achieve their goals of building a family. I also enjoy using my voice to educate the community and reduce taboos on the topic of male fertility.

At Flo, I review content related to sperm health and male fertility to help our many users who are trying to conceive. Through evidence-based content, I hope to make a positive impact on their lives and support them so they can have a successful pregnancy.
