The Male Health Center was the first center in the United States specializing in male health. The Male Health Center is located in Dallas, Texas, and attracts hundreds of patients from across the United States. The Male Health Center was founded in 1989 by Dr. Kenneth A. Goldberg, a board-certified urologist. Dr. Goldberg created the center because there was a need to provide men with an integrated system of care that addressed all their needs. Men, on the other hand, often ignore warning signs and symptoms until the problem becomes serious.
Few men know where to go when they find a lump on a testicle or have trouble achieving an erection.
Traditionally the male equipment of the penis has largely been the domain of the urologist. But because urologists treat a variety of kidney-related problems in women as well as men, few urologists view the man within a holistic context. The male problem of impotence, for example, is largely misunderstood by physicians in general, including urologists. For example, some urologists mistakenly view the inability to achieve an erection as a mechnanical problem that requires the surgical implantation of a penile implant, when the cause of the disorder may be psychological. A true center specializing in male health looks at all the possible causes of impotence, emotional and physical.
