Welcome to the Vanguard Urologic Institute's Center for Male Sexual Health and Wellness.  We are pleased that you have sought us out as a source of information on your health concerns.

We offer the most advanced care available to men with erectile dysfunction, testosterone deficiency, and other concerns that affect the daily quality of your life.  We offer this care in our state of the art facility located at the heart of the Texas Medical Center.

We take pride in offering our patients a very personalized experience in which they are comfortable and feel secure in discussing the intimate concerns that bring them in for care.  We work hand in hand with physicians and providers in other specialties to provide you with the most comprehensive care possible.

Your sexual health and wellness can be a very complex problem that is best handled with a multidisciplanary approach.  We are happy to arrange consultations with any and all of our colleagues to ensure your needs are met.

Mission and Rationale- The Center for Male Sexual Health and Wellness is devoted to the overall wellbeing of our patients with a specific focus on issues which many men may find difficult to discuss.  Among these are erectile dysfunction, aging, testosterone deficiency, and other health and wellness concerns.

  1. Our first goal is to provide excellence in the care available to our patients.  We will strive to create a professional and comfortable environment in which a man may feel secure in discussing the issues of his sexual health with his provider.
  2. We will constantly be at the forefront of treatments and diagnostic procedures available for the benefit of our patients and the advancement of the developing field of sexual medicine.  We will accomplish this goal by being among the leaders in this field, learning from one another for the mutual benefit of advancing knowledge that may be safely applied to our patients in a clinical setting.
  3. We will provide the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic options currently available.
  4. We will endeavor to advance the field not only through professional communication with our peers, but also through participation in and leading of research designed to promote the health and wellness of our patients.
  5. We will develop an appropriate referral network with cardiologists and family physicians, as well as sexual counselors and therapists to provide the most comprehensive program available anywhere.  This will promote the wellness of the entire man, not just his sexual function.
  6. We will continue to provide proactive preservation of erectile function in men with disease states known to cause erectile dysfunction through an aggressive protocol designed with each man's own individual needs in mind.  We must take into account not only his ability to tolerate and participate in the therapeutic regimen, but also his ability to afford it and apply it to his life.
