Dr. Karen Elizabeth Boyle graduated from Harvard with Honors and then attended Albany Medical College, where she graduated again with Honors and Distinction in Research. She completed her general surgery and urological surgery training at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, The Brady Urological Institute.

Dr. Boyle then completed the prestigious fellowship in reproductive medicine and microsurgery at Baylor College of Medicine, and then returned to The Johns Hopkins Hospital where she served as Assistant Professor of Urology, Obstetrics and Gynecology and Director of Reproductive Medicine and Surgery. While at Hopkins, Dr. Boyle was active in research and teaching, and established and grew a dominant practice of male infertility, sexuality and aesthetics.

Her commitment to providing personal, compassionate, comprehensive care to her patients combined with her diagnostic and surgical excellence has resulted in her being a much sought after solution for patients and practioners alike. It is this commitment to excellence in the patient care experience which prompted Dr. Boyle to establish her current practice as Director of Reproductive Medicine and Surgery, Sexuality and Aesthetics at Chesapeake Urology Associates.

Dr. Boyle specializes in male infertility, and offers state-of-the-art evaluation and treatment of the infertile male. Dr. Boyle works closely with all reproductive endocrinology practices located in the D.C./Baltimore metropolitan area as well as nationally, providing expert care for the male partner. She is the Director of Male Fertility at Shady Grove Fertility Reproductive Science Center, the nation's leading institution of reproductive medicine and boosts the top pregnancy outcomes nationally.

As an experienced microsurgeon, she specializes in vasectomy, microsurgical vasectomy reversal, microsurgical varicocele repair, and all sperm harvesting techniques including microdissection testicular sperm extraction, as well as electroejaculation and penile vibratory stimulation. Dr. Boyle is among a select few microsurgeons nationally who can perform the technically challenging epididymovasostomy and microdissection testicular sperm extraction.

As a leader in the area of reproductive and sexual health, Dr. Boyle recognizes how important it is to address all issues related to the well-being and happiness of her patients.

She is committed to surpassing patient expectations and providing exceptional patient care, achieving the results each patient desires and deserves. As an innovator in the evaluation and treatment of sexual health and aesthetics, Dr. Boyle provides a comprehensive approach to the care of each patient.
