Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Tobias Köhler, Assistant Professor of Surgery, specializes in andrology which includes treatment of male infertility, erectile and sexual dysfunction. He received both his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. He completed a Masters of Public Health in Epidemiology. He then completed his urology residency training at the University of Minnesota. This was followed by an andrology fellowship at Northwestern School of Medicine in Chicago. Dr. Köhler’s sexual dysfunction clinic specifically addresses treatment of erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and low testosterone levels. This includes innovative post-treatment penile rehabilitation programs, and collaborative clinical and research efforts with cardiologists, as heart disease and sexual dysfunction are often linked. Dr. Köhler is a key component of the newly established SIU Fertility and IVF Center which offers one of a kind, cutting edge research and treatment for couples with fertility problems. In collaboration with SIU reproductive endocrinologists, couples have the unique opportunity to be seen together. Dr. Köhler is an expert in microscopic surgery for male infertility including both vasovasostomy and vasoepididymostomy. Dr. Köhler heads the onco-fertility program (one of only a few of its kind in the country) at the SimmonsCooper Cancer Institute at SIU. The program’s mission is to address fertility preservation and sexual health issues before patients undergo treatments for cancer. Dr. Köhler is a member of several medical societies related to male infertility and sexual dysfunction. He has published manuscripts, lectured, and presented scientific abstracts on various subjects including preservation of male fertility, erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, BPH, and penile prostheses. In addition, he has been accepted as a CREST (Clinical Research/Reproductive Scientist Training) Scholar for the fall of 2008. To make an appointment with Dr. Köhler, please call SIU Physicians & Surgeons at 217-545-7500.
