About me

Dr. John Lindsey is a urologic surgeon who cares for patients with reproductive health concerns. He specializes in evaluating and treating conditions affecting male fertility, hormonal function and sexual health, and has expertise in vasectomy reversal, varicocele repair (surgery to treat enlarged veins within the scrotum), sperm extraction, hormonal therapy and penile prosthesis implantation. He also evaluates and treats acute or chronic pain involving the male reproductive system.

Lindsey's research focuses on the microbiology of the genital and urinary tracts. He aims to better understand how microbes influence fertility, hormonal function and chronic pain.

      Dr Lindsey was very good at listening to me and providing details about my issues and provided solutions that I didn't know existed. Great care.

      Not a great experience. Dr. Lindsey is a surgeon through and through and should just focus on operative care. His outpatient medical management style leaves much to be desired. He was incapable of helping me through what has been an incredibly hard and demoralizing set of disabilities after my prostatectomy. I am so disappointed that this is the best that UCSF has to offer.

      Everyone I spoke to was respectful and took the time to answer my questions. They were thorough with explanations
