Dr. Bruce Gilbert, MD, PhD, NY | Urologist

About Dr. Bruce Gilbert

A few quick notes before you book: • I provide a virtual second opinion consultation. After you schedule your appointment, we’ll guide you through securely uploading your medical records. • I’m an out-of-network physician and do not participate with insurance plans. The fee for a virtual second-opinion consultation is $650. I share this so you have full clarity before scheduling. I’m happy to provide a detailed “super-bill” that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. As a Urologist for over 35 years, I’ve helped men take control of their reproductive and sexual health — a journey that often requires both scientific precision and genuine empathy. If you’re feeling uncertain or confused after a diagnosis, or if your initial treatment plan didn’t leave you feeling confident about your fertility or sexual health, a virtual second opinion can be a game-changer. My practice focuses exclusively on male fertility, fertility preservation, low testosterone, and sexual dysfunction. In my roles as Professor of Urology at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell and Medical & Laboratory Director of New York Cryo, I combine academic insight with real-world lab and clinical experience. My training includes medical school and residency at Weill Cornell Medical College, a PhD in Physiology from New York Medical College, and postdoctoral research at Weill Cornell Medical College. This background allows me to look at each patient’s concerns through both a clinical and scientific lens, helping us work together toward practical and personalized solutions. I collaborate with oncologists, reproductive endocrinologists, and other specialists to support men navigating critical transitions — whether preparing for cancer treatment, facing infertility, or trying to make sense of hormonal changes. My goal is to give patients clear explanations, evidence-based guidance, and a path forward that feels manageable and tailored to their goals.
