About
Dr. Michael Eisenberg is Director of Male Reproductive Medicine & Surgery at Stanford and Professor of Urology. He graduated from Yale School of Medicine, completed his urology residency at UCSF, and finished a male infertility fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine.
Dr. Eisenberg specializes in male infertility and sexual dysfunction, addressing testicular function problems including sperm and testosterone production. He points out that about half of infertility cases involve a male factor. His Stanford program describes its research as pioneering work into factors that are important in a man’s reproductive health, looking for aspects that can be targeted and improved.
