    Q&A with Dr. Thomas Walsh, MD

    Q: What made you decide to pursue your specialty?

    A: At first, I wanted to be a transplant surgeon. But my then future wife suggested that I consider urology. Urology combined the best parts of medicine and surgery. Historically, urologists have always been at the forefront of innovation - and I knew this was the place for me. As a urology resident, i elected to pursue a master's degree in epidemiology, and my thesis revolved around testis cancer in young men. Through this work, it became readily apparent to me that male reproductive health and fertility were grossly under-studied. I realized that this was an arena in which I could have a tremendous impact on Men's Health. Beyond these aspects, I love the technical aspects of micro surgery and I love working with a young and motivated cohort of patients. It is the patients that make my work the most rewarding.
