Medical Staff

The Institute operates with a network of more than 13,000 doctors, nurses, and medical professionals. Here are some profiles of some of our senior staff:

Richard Kowalsky, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

As our Medical Director, Dr. Kowalsky supervises the review of all patient charts and treatments by our doctors and medical staff. "It's this individual attention that really sets the Institute apart," says Kowalsky, who has been a physician for more than 30 years. To ensure this deep, personal commitment to the patient, the Institute is directly managed and run by doctors, registered nurses, and other medical personnel. If a patient has questions about his treatment, the staff is always available for consultation or to adjust the medication for even better results. "We take a hands-on approach," adds Kowalsky. "By offering patients a great support network, they naturally feel more comfortable about their treatment. Our patients are always pleased to see that their own treatment is customized for them, for their specific situation, needs, and goals."

John Abeles, M.D.

"My primary role at the Institute is to provide guidance and advice regarding our treatment protocols" says Dr. Abeles, who received his medical and pharmacology degrees from England's esteemed University of Birmingham. Dr. Abeles' diverse professional background has proved significant to the Institute's goal of improving the lives of men with sexual difficulties. He has been a Senior Medical Executive with prestigious firms such as Pfizer, Inc., and Revlon Health Care, a Wall Street healthcare analyst with Kidder Peabody, and he serves on the boards of numerous public companies involved in medical research and treatment.

Luba Fry, ARNP

"I enjoy working at the Institute," says Luba Fry, an experienced Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner who supervises patient medications and treatment procedures. "It enables me to use my diverse background here. I practiced in Emergency Room settings, Health Care Clinics, and I'm a veteran of the Persian Gulf War. I have a real understanding of men's feelings, and for some of our patients, it is sometimes a quiet, internal one that is never shared with the outside world. Here at the Institute, our nurses work very closely with our patients from the beginning of the treatment and throughout the medical program to ensure they receive the best possible result We customize and modify our treatment to each patient's needs, to achieve this very level of high satisfaction. Every one of our patients is special to us, and we maintain a very individualized approach based on sound medical treatments. Our success rate may be up to 90%, but we make sure that this success happens one patient at a time, and each man's individual problems is enormously important to us."
