Laurence Levine, MD, completed his undergraduate studies at Trinity college, Hartford, CT in 1975 and received his medical doctorate at University of Colorado Medical School in 1980. Levine graduated from the urology surgical residency program at Harvard, Brigham and Women's Hospital in 1987. Prior to joining Rush University Medical Center in 1992 as assistant professor, he was a clinical and assistant professor at the University of Chicago from 1987-1992. Levine is a board-certified urologic surgeon who specializes in the fields of andrology and reconstructive urology, including disorders of male sexual function, male infertility, congenital deformities and deformities of the penis caused by Peyronie's disease. His other areas of clinical expertise include urethral reconstruction for stricture disease, chronic scrotal content pain and male hypogonadism (low testosterone). He is a nationally and internationally recognized authority in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease. His academic contributions include more than 160 published articles and 45 book chapters and two books specifically on Peyronie's disease. His innovative contributions of urology include the treatment of Peyronie's disease with intralesional verapamil injections and traction therapy, suppression of recurrent prolonged erections, or priapism, with ketoconazole, microdenervation of the spermatic cord for chronic scrotal content pain, and he was the first in the U.S. to utilize a minimally invasive approach for retrieving sperm in men with severe forms of infertility using testicular sperm aspiration, or TESA.
