The Center for Male Reproductive Medicine was established to better diagnose
and treat conditions that impact on a man's reproductive and sexual health.
The Center offers state of the art technology in a completely private
and sensitive environment. The Center was founded by Dr.
Cappy Rothman and is under the direction of Dr.
Philip Werthman, both specialists in the field of Andrology. Andrology
literally means the "study of man," and is a subspecialty within
the discipline of Urology. Very few doctors are fellowship trained andrologists
and are actually experts in the field of male reproductive medicine.
The Center is equipped with a complete COLA certified andrology
laboratory that conveniently enables the diagnosis and treatment of many
conditions to be expedited. This also allows patients to observe and
participate in their treatment process. With the aid of modern video
technology, patients are educated so they can make well-informed choices
that are most suited for their individual needs and desires. We encourage
inquiries and a physician is always available to promptly and personally
respond to calls. The staff has worked together for over 15 years and are
sensitive to caring for the special needs of our patients. To date over
20,000 men have been treated at this facility.
The Center is located in Century City, Los Angeles and we have
a satellite office in Thousand Oaks, Ventura County. Initial consultations
can be scheduled in both of these offices. Surgery is performed
at Specialty Surgical Center in Beverly Hills or at the Center.
Sperm harvesting procedures can be performed at the IVF center where
the egg retrieval will take place in many instances.
The Center welcomes phone call inquiries regarding our services,
treatments and procedures. We can send information packages regarding
vasectomy reversal at your request. To best facilitate this, please
call the main office or send us an email with your home address.
Please be advised that we do not review records, render medical
opinions or dispense medical advice without a scheduled consultation
via phone or in person. Do not email us with your medical history
asking us for medical advice as we cannot legally respond. If you
set up a consultation and we will gladly help you with your situation.
We are pleased to offer telephone/online
consultations and records review for those patients wanting
specific personal medical questions answered or those patients who
are unable to visit us in person. Please call the center to find
out more and to set up a consultation time.
