Dr. Kevin Billups is a Urologist who has focused his practice and career on Men’s Health and Sexual Medicine for the past 30 years. Dr. Billups earned his undergraduate degree at Harvard University and medical degree at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine where he also completed his residency in Urology at the Brady Urological Institute. Dr. Billups completed a fellowship in sexual medicine and male infertility at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. His clinical practice is focused on using erectile dysfunction and testosterone deficiency as gender-specific markers for early detection and prevention of chronic conditions, such as heart disease, type-2 diabetes, and hypertension. As the Medical Director for The Billups Center and a leader in men’s sexual medicine, Dr. Billups’ focus is to create a practice that uses a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to understand sexual health issues in the context of a man’s overall well-being (medical disease and behavioral health components). By looking at the whole man, the ultimate goal is to help men achieve a better sex life, but more importantly, help men enjoy a healthier active lifestyle and live a longer life.
