About

Male Fertility & Sexual Medicine Specialists in Grantville, San Diego is a urology practice founded in 1993 by Martin Bastuba, MD, FACS at 6699 Alvarado Road, Suite 2208, CA 92120. Bastuba is one of roughly two percent of board-certified urologists in the United States who subspecializes in male reproductive medicine, having completed a combined fellowship in male fertility and sexual dysfunction at Boston University School of Medicine — the first resident ever accepted into that program. The practice has performed more than 5,000 microsurgeries since opening, with vasectomy reversal success rates that include a 99-percent patency rate for vasovasostomies and a 90-percent patency rate for vasoepididymostomies, drawing patients from more than 30 countries. The San Diego Vasectomy Center, which Bastuba also founded, operates under the same roof and performs no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy procedures completed in approximately ten minutes. Cryopreservation, anonymous sperm donation, and reproductive tissue storage are managed through the co-located Fertility Center of California, which Bastuba also directs as scientific director and president. Diagnostic services include semen analysis with strict morphology assessment, sperm DNA fragmentation testing, hormonal panels, and scrotal ultrasound, all interpreted through the practice's in-house andrology protocols. Bastuba developed a minimally invasive testicular sperm aspiration technique for patients with obstructive azoospermia, enabling IVF-compatible sperm retrieval without open surgery. He also serves as a clinical instructor of urology at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, has chaired both the San Diego Reproductive Endocrine Society and the San Diego Urologic Society, and maintains active membership in the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. The emotional complexity of male infertility and sexual dysfunction often benefits from coordinated counseling, and Richard Benfante, Counselor in Grantville works within that referral ecosystem for patients navigating reproductive challenges. The Alvarado Road office sits in Grantville's medical corridor near the I-8 freeway within the 92120 ZIP, and the practice's LGBTQ+-affirming model extends fertility services to same-sex couples and transgender patients pursuing family building.
