His and Her Health

Arthur Louis Burnett, MD has become an established expert in the areas of major pelvic reconstruction, voiding dysfunction, female urology, prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction. This expertise is built on academic studies regarding the surgical anatomy of the pelvis, advances in surgical techniques of genital and pelvic reconstructive surgery, and basic science research contributions in the fundamental aspects of pelvic organ function.

He has published extensively and lectures frequently in all of these areas. At the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, he directs the Male Consultation Clinic for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction as well as the Bayview Continence Center for the treatment of voiding disorders often associated with major pelvic injury, deformity, cancer and other disease processes.
