Male Fertility & Sexual Medicine Specialists

What Male Fertility & Sexual Medicine Specialists does

Male Fertility & Sexual Medicine Specialists (MFS) is a private, founder-led medical practice founded in 1993 by Dr. Martin Bastuba in San Diego, California, specializing in male-factor infertility, vasectomy reversal, and sexual medicine. The practice operates from two Southern California locations and serves a patient base that spans the United States and more than 30 countries, with international medical tourism as a documented acquisition channel. Dr. Bastuba is among an elite cohort (cited as 1.5-2% of board-certified urologists) with fellowship training in male fertility and sexual medicine from Boston University.

MFS delivers care through a focused set of microsurgical and urological procedures, with vasectomy reversal (vasovasostomy and the more complex vasoepididymostomy) as the signature offering. Supporting technology includes intraoperative microscopic vas fluid analysis, advanced sperm retrieval techniques (MESA, TESE, micro-TESE), testicular mapping and biopsy, genetic and SCSA sperm DNA integrity testing, and a Pro-Nox 50/50 nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesic system introduced in 2020. The practice claims a 98% patency rate for vasovasostomy, 90% for vasoepididymostomy, and pregnancy success rates of 65-75% and 40-60% respectively, built on a cumulative base of 5,000-6,000+ microsurgeries over three decades.

Commercially, MFS runs a cash-pay, one-time professional-services model. Vasectomy reversal is priced as an all-inclusive package (approximately $7,100-$8,628 covering surgeon, anesthesia, and facility fees) since insurance typically does not cover elective reversal; ancillary services include diagnostic testing, erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's treatment, varicocele surgery, hormone replacement, and cryobanking routed through the sister company Fertility Center of California. Go-to-market combines physician referrals (IVF centers, oncologists, OBGYNs, urologists), patient testimonials and word-of-mouth, educational content marketing via blog and video, social media, free consultations, and dedicated international medical tourism support. The practice is wholly physician-owned with no external equity or debt funding identified.
