When a couple struggles to conceive, attention often turns to the female partner first — yet male factors contribute to a substantial share of cases and are frequently among the most treatable. Pinpointing the underlying cause, whether a varicocele, a hormonal imbalance, or a structural blockage, can shorten the path to pregnancy and reveal important information about a man’s overall health along the way.
Dr. Justin Houman is a board-certified urologist, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and fellowship-trained microsurgeon in Male Reproductive Medicine and Surgery, training he completed at UCLA Medical Center and that only a small fraction of practicing urologists hold. As an Assistant Professor of Urology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, he focuses specifically on male reproductive health — performing precision microsurgical procedures such as varicocelectomy and sperm retrieval that depend on a level of training and surgical volume most general urology practices cannot offer.
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Justin Houman, who is truly an expert in male fertility. He took the time to listen carefully and explain all the available options in a way that was easy to understand. His approach is compassionate, professional, and very thorough. I felt confident knowing I was in the care of someone highly specialized in men’s reproductive health. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and caring physician to help with male fertility concerns, I highly recommend Dr. Houman.

Meet Dr. Houman
Expert in Men’s Health with Tower Urology and Cedars Sinai
Dr. Justin Houman, MD, FACS is a board-certified urologist and fellowship-trained microsurgeon at Tower Urology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. His subspecialty training in male reproductive medicine and microsurgery is held by fewer than 2% of practicing urologists in the United States.
His clinical focus is narrow by design. Varicoceles, chronic testicular pain, male infertility, vasectomy, testosterone optimization, erectile dysfunction, penile implant surgery, and Peyronie’s disease are not add-on services here. They are the practice. Patients travel from across the country and internationally for procedures, particularly microsurgical varicocelectomy, spermatic cord denervation, and inflatable penile implant surgery, that require a level of subspecialty training and surgical volume most urology practices do not have.
