Why Choose Dr. Nudell
Dr. Nudell has the most experience of any fellowship-trained male reproductive urologist in the South Bay and Peninsula.

While there, he published extensively on male reproduction in both clinical and basic science areas. He then completed the most prestigious fellowship in male reproductive medicine and microsurgery (at Baylor College of Medicine) with Dr. Larry Lipshultz. During and since his fellowship, Dr. Nudell was has trested well over 1000 infertile couples. Dr. Nudell uses the operating microscope on all infertility surgery cases. He offers complete evaluation of the male, all microsurgical techniques and all laboratory techniques necessary to assist in a couple's reproductive efforts. Dr. Nudell works closely with all of the reproductive gynecologists in the area.
"My goals are to provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment while remaining sensitive to the fact that reproductive problems can be frustrating and stressful for the couple. I try to educate the couple on what is available rather than make outright medical decisions for them. The treatment of infertility requires a close relationship between the physicians involved and the patients."
