Valary T. Raup, MD, became a surgeon because she has always loved art and science. She discovered that surgery is the most fulfilling way to combine these passions, and she also wanted to improve people’s quality of life. She specializes primarily in managing male infertility and sexual health. When a man is infertile, she can repair varicoceles, which are enlarged veins in the scrotum that affect the quality of a man’s sperm. When a couple seeks to have in vitro fertilization, she can perform testicular sperm extraction. She manages erectile dysfunction by prescribing medications, performing penile injections, and implanting a penile prosthesis.
Dr. Raup also cares for people who have Peyronie’s disease, which is when scar tissue forms under the skin of the penis, causing it to become curved. This can be treated with medications, injections, and surgery. Other procedures she offered include circumcision, circumcision revision, vasectomy, and vasectomy reversal. She takes the time to educate my patients about their condition and explain their treatment options. She strives to ensure that people feel comfortable during an office visit, especially since most of the conditions she manages are sensitive and can be stressful to discuss. She ensures that my patients leave my office feeling reassured and confident in their care.
