Dr. Rupin Shah

Dr. Rupin Shah is a Urologist who has dedicated himself to Andrology - the super-speciality that deals with male infertility and impotence. The number of surgeries performed by him is far more than any other doctor in the country. In fact the number of implant surgery procedures to his credit alone is bigger than the combined surgery procedures of all the other Andro urologists in India. Dr. Rupin Shah went to Belgium for training in Andrological microsurgery in 1986. He is the first urologist in India to have this training and is a leading expert in the area of microsurgery for the treatment of men with azoospermia and microsurgical vasectomy reversal. He has conducted numerous training workshops in India and abroad demonstrating microsurgical treatment for male infertility.
