Dr. Tom F. Lue
Overview
Dr. Tom Lue is an internationally recognized expert on treatment of male sexual dysfunction. In 1983, he was one of the first urologists in the country to offer penile injections for erectile dysfunction.

Lue and his associates also developed the first animal model to study Peyronie's disease – a condition in which scar tissue causes the penis to curve – and introduced pentoxifylline for treatment. Lue graduated with highest honors from the Kaohsiung Medical University in Taiwan and completed his urologic training at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center. He received the Ferdinand C. Valentine Fellowship Award for Research in Urology from the New York Academy of Medicine to study the neurophysiology of the genitourinary tract at UCSF.
