• Run Wang, MD, credits his research work in medical school for guiding him to the field of sexual medicine.

  “I was involved in research regarding male infertility,” said Dr. Wang, professor and chair of urology at McGovern Medical School. “This research not only stimulated my interest in urology, but also provided me with the opportunity to connect with the best urological andrologists in the world, Dr. Wayne Hellstrom and Dr. Ronald Lewis. They motivated me to explore the field of urological andrology and sexual medicine.”

  Dr. Wang is a leading expert in male urology, men’s health and erectile dysfunction. He said it’s the difference he makes in his patient’s lives that keep him going and proud to be an urologist.
