He completed his undergraduate work at Dartmouth, graduating magna cum laude with a double major in history and biophysical chemistry. He then went to Duke for medical school and completed a 6-year residency at the University of Washington, where he trained with one of the top penile reconstructive surgeons in the world, Dr. Hunter Wessells. There, he had extensive training in Erectile Dysfunction, Peyronie’s Disease and Male Infertility. Dr. Hotaling elected to pursue an additional year of training under Dr. Craig Niederberger at the University of Illinois at Chicago focusing on Male Infertility and Men’s Health. Here, he had extensive training in micro-surgery, including Testicular Sperm Extractions (TESE), Micro-dissection Testicular Sperm Extraction (microTESE), and Vasectomy Reversal. He is also one of the only Men’s Health and Infertility experts in the United States to have undergone additional training to become a Fellow of European College of Sexual Medicine (FECSM).
He is currently the highest volume Male Infertility expert in the Intermountain West and performs numerous penile implant surgeries for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction. His outcomes for micro-surgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (microTESE) are excellent. His practice consists exclusively of Male Infertility, Men’s Health, Erectile Dysfunction, and surgical management of Testicular Pain and Peyronie’s Disease.
He has over 85 publications, is funded by the NIH to study Erectile Dysfunction and Male Infertility and is regularly invited to speak at conferences all over the United States on Male Infertility, Men’s Health and Erectile Dysfunction. He has been on the faculty at the University of Utah since 2013 and is currently the medical director of the fertility integrated practice unit, the director of the Men’s Health program and a co-director of the fellowship in reconstructive urology and men’s health. In addition, Dr. Hotaling is an editor of Fertility and Sterility, the premier journal in the field.
My goal in working with patients is to help them achieve their fertility and/or men’s health goals with the most cost-effective and data-driven means possible. At the University of Utah Health, we seek to provide hope for even the most complex cases and offer compassionate care in a pleasant and relaxed setting that is designed to cater to sensitive men’s health and infertility issues. Further, we are fully integrated with state of the art in vitro fertilization laboratory. We see many patients with male infertility, erectile dysfunction, complex scrotal pain and Peyronie’s disease each week and strive to provide optimal care for each of these conditions.

Urologist was great. I had a in-clinic circumcision. I asked to see procedure. Urologist told me he would tell me when it would be appropriate during the procedure he remembered to tell me that I can look now. He also remembered to show me my foreskin once it was removed. The only big surprise that I did not appreciate was not being told that my urologist would bring a fellow with him, and the fellow would be the one performing the majority of the procedure. The fellow did well, but, I should have been told since the scheduling time that a fellow may be with the urologist at my appointment.

Rating the care team as a whole, they were extremely pleasant and helpful, but the handoffs meant I got a lot of information from the fellow, more information from Dr. Hotaling, and then another visit from the fellow with still more information, and the nurse was left to pull it all together at the end. I didn't realize until I got to the pharmacy that I'd received an incomplete set of instructions for medication use and details of care.

Because of the sensitive nature of my concerns, I felt I could not ask the questions I wanted to in the room. The procedure required 6 people to be in the room which was awful because I had questions for just the doctor that I did not feel comfortable asking in front of 6 other people. I would highly recommend the provider suggest this as an option or if the nurse can ask patients this beforehand. I ended up not asking my questions and left frustrated and upset.

I've been to many doctors over the past 2 years for this issue and the majority of the time it ends with them saying, "Sorry I can't help you" or "The pain is all in your head."

UofU Patient

I felt like the doctor was more concerned with the computer than me. I know that the systems/coding require a lot of attention but this doctor would rank in the bottom in terms of ability to balance providing care with entering information into the computer compared to other UofU doctors I've visited. Most of my questions were answered so briefly and with such finality that I felt anxious to ask follow up questions.
UofU Patient

UofU Patient
October 29, 2016
Seemed like a decent guy but was certainly in a hurry and probably deals with a lot of patients who don't really want to be there and that showed. My main issue was he was talking surgery after a very quick examination. I mentioned an alternative, and said that there was no conclusive evidence to the effectiveness of that alternative. However I've also read information on various medical websites that varicocele surgery doesn't have conclusive evidence to its effectiveness either. So my overall impression of the visit was that it was fast and confusing.

Forgive me, all I got was his name, "Jim" and his assistant, "Kelli < sp?>" Did not get the med student's name. Jim was very direct, but understanding and went right to work, explaining everything in "English" so I could understand, while at the same time, keeping his entourage up to date. His professionalism and the composure of his crew was very comforting (even though the appearance of Kelli was a bit off-putting; however, she went right to work which put me at ease - thankfully!).
UofU Patient
July 26, 2016
Dr. Hotaling know his stuff, but I feel like the quality of care has decreased since we first started seeing him. There are too many patients and he seems rushed. If it is possible this appointment should just be done over the phone to save us time and money from here on out since there is no actual physical examination that takes place.

I found Dr Hotaling to have outstanding bed side manners. He walked me through every step prior to performing it and checked to make sure I was doing ok after each step. I was originally concern that he had no patient reviews, but after the surgery I can highly recommend him to other potential patients.

Dr. Hotaling was great. He was to-the-point and professional. The "Fair" grades on friendliness/courtesy and the amount of time are general comments only - no big deal to me, specifically. He was quick, obviously very skilled, and moved on to the next patient once I knew what I needed to know.

My wife and I very much enjoy our visits to Dr. Hotaling (as much as one can enjoy doctor's visits!). He always answers all of our questions, gives us a clear picture of what the next step is, and is very easy-going and comforting.

UofU Patient
June 07, 2014
Rushed. Hurried. Apologies galore. I felt like I was "being processed" and rapidly so.
UofU Patient
June 06, 2014
I have been in the ER twice (LDS hospital), seen 3 dr's and a specialist before coming here. not one of them would listen to me because they "knew " it all and did not care about their patient's. Dr. Hotaling spent time with me and listened to my concerns and what I have been going through this impressed me and actually has given me hope that my problem will be resolved. one example that I really liked, his PA saw me first and told me options of different medications I could take. I flat out told him no that I was done with pills and pill pushing cause that's all the other dr's did and the other specialist. Dr. Hotaling listened to me and provided me with other solutions. Thank you so much for giving me hope again and listening to me rather than just ignoring me and doing what you want.

UofU Patient

Dr. Hotaling is the first doctor in the past 5 months that has given us hope of conceiving naturally. We realized after we left that we had not received the prescription for the medication my husband was supposed to start after doing some lab work. We decided to wait and call after we had done the blood work, we are hoping to hear back from the Dr. now that we have made them aware of the situation. We greatly appreciated Dr. Hotaling's willingness to let us contact him with any problems or questions we had. We do wish he was on our insurance.

The doctor was efficient. I would have appreciated a little more time with more detailed explanations of the recommended treatment. The explanations provided were given kindly and more than other doctors I've seen. I ended up with a lot of questions submitted through MyChart afterwards.
Dr. Hotaling is a fellowship-trained urologist specializing in Male Infertility and Men’s Health. He completed his undergraduate work at Dartmouth, graduating magna cum laude with a double major in history and biophysical chemistry. He then went to Duke for medical school and completed a 6-year residency at the University of Washington, where he trained with one of the top penile reconstructive surgeons in the world, Dr. Hunter Wessells. There, he had extensive training in Erectile Dysfunction, Peyronie’s Disease and Male Infertility. Dr. Hotaling elected to pursue an additional year of training under Dr. Craig Niederberger at the University of Illinois at Chicago focusing on Male Infertility and Men’s Health. Here, he had extensive training in micro-surgery, including Testicular Sperm Extractions (TESE), Micro-dissection Testicular Sperm Extraction (microTESE), and Vasectomy Reversal. He is also one of the only Men’s Health and Infertility experts in the United States to have undergone additional training to become a Fellow of European College of Sexual Medicine (FECSM).
He is currently the highest volume Male Infertility expert in the Intermountain West and performs numerous penile implant surgeries for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction. His outcomes for micro-surgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (microTESE) are excellent. His practice consists exclusively of Male Infertility, Men’s Health, Erectile Dysfunction, and surgical management of Testicular Pain and Peyronie’s Disease.
He has over 85 publications, is funded by the NIH to study Erectile Dysfunction and Male Infertility and is regularly invited to speak at conferences all over the United States on Male Infertility, Men’s Health and Erectile Dysfunction. He has been on the faculty at the University of Utah since 2013 and is currently the medical director of the fertility integrated practice unit, the director of the Men’s Health program and a co-director of the fellowship in reconstructive urology and men’s health. In addition, Dr. Hotaling is an editor of Fertility and Sterility, the premier journal in the field.
My goal in working with patients is to help them achieve their fertility and/or men’s health goals with the most cost-effective and data-driven means possible. At the University of Utah Health, we seek to provide hope for even the most complex cases and offer compassionate care in a pleasant and relaxed setting that is designed to cater to sensitive men’s health and infertility issues. Further, we are fully integrated with state of the art in vitro fertilization laboratory. We see many patients with male infertility, erectile dysfunction, complex scrotal pain and Peyronie’s disease each week and strive to provide optimal care for each of these conditions.
