Success story

In the late eighties, when Dr. Shah instead of trying his luck in general urology he felt focusing on exclusive Andrology. After consulting a couple of senior urologists in the country he opted this field. Though people found risk in his career choice but he proved many wrong in this emerging a leader in the career in andrology alone. Today, Dr. Shah successful career as an andrologist and is usually cited out when the future of sub-specialties in the subject of urology in India is now being discussed.

When Dr. Shah finally chose this career choice to focus on male sexual medicine and infertility, he felt he may go directionless provided he fulfill the following three conditions:

• Dr. Shah should be able to offer the best andrological care equal to the best centers India and abroad.

• Dr. Shah should indigenize the various treatment options that are offered to make them relevant and inexpensive options

• Dr. Shah should be able to simplify his knowledge and experience of the subject and make it very much accessible in a simple, practical manner to the general urologists of the country.

Dr. Shah has been succeeded on all three fronts. He along with his team offers all the therapies that are offered specialized centers around the world. Dr. Rupin Shah penile prosthesis can cost you only USD 9500 and is easily become affordable patients of different walks of life both in India and abroad. The Papaverine Clorpromazine bi-mix that Dr. Shah is known in India and allows our poor patients the benefits of intra-cavernosal therapy at a tiny fraction of the cost of PGE1 with equivalent efficacy and more convenience. Therapy-guided models of evaluation that we promote have become a popular, cost-effective approach to ED evaluation. And over a thousand urologists have attended the annual male sexual medicine and infertility training workshops that Dr. Shah have conducted over the past 20 years.
