ÂÜÀòÉçÆƽâ°æ

The LGBTQ+ Urology Program at the ÂÜÀòÉçÆƽâ°æ (WCM) Department of Urology is committed to offering urological care to adults of all sexual orientations and gender identities. While the program primarily serves patients assigned male at birth, we also welcome individuals assigned female at birth for general urological care. Our goal is to provide a safe space to discuss your symptoms and treatment options, providing compassionate care to each of our patients. 

Our program is led by Dr. Jonathan Gal, an assistant professor of urology at ÂÜÀòÉçÆƽâ°æ (WCM) and assistant attending urologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. Dr. Gal has completed his residency training in urology as well as a fellowship in male infertility and sexual health, allowing him to offer expert consultations and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. His robust training and passion in the field of men’s sexual health and general urology has equipped him with the expertise and dedication needed to provide exceptional, personalized care to his patients. Dr. Gal is also highly interested in clinical and research specifically in general urology as well as sexual and male reproductive health. His research has been published in prestigious outlets such as Urology,ÌýClinical Genitourinary Cancer, and The Journal of Personalized Medicine. Learn more about Dr. Gal.

It is our commitment that every patient receives safe and comfortable care in all of our programs. Our expert providers and staff are dedicated to providing compassionate care in a safe environment. The team is institutionally trained on precise measures that are taken to ensure such standards of care are met. We encourage you to call us to further discuss the steps that are taken to guarantee a welcoming and safe environment is provided for all patients.

Common conditions that we treat include: 

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED), referring to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
• ejaculatory dysfunction - ejaculation is a complex process involving coordinated muscular and neurological events that allow semen to be deposited into the urethra (emission) and propelled out of the urethral opening (ejection).
• Peyronie’s disease,Ìýa condition where scar tissue (plaque) forms inside the penis, leading to curvature, painful erections and difficulty with penetration.
• male-to-female transgender fertility preservation - for trans-female patients, gender-affirming medical and surgical treatments can impact reproductive potential.
