  • 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.
