Russell P. Hayden, MD
Specialty: Reproductive Endocrinology/Infertility, Urology
About
I am a urologist specializing in male infertility and microsurgery. My interest in this field began during my graduate studies in biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University, where I was drawn to the intersection of technology, precision, and problem-solving in medicine. I went on to earn my medical degree from Harvard University.
I completed my residency training in general surgery and urology at Massachusetts General Hospital, followed by a fellowship in reproductive medicine and microsurgery at Weill Cornell Medicine. My work focuses on complex microsurgical techniques that require a high level of precision and technical skill.
I joined Shady Grove Fertility in 2021 and currently care for patients across Pennsylvania and Maryland. I am an active member of several professional organizations and have contributed to research and publications in male infertility and reproductive health.
Outside of work, I enjoy building small robots with my two sons and spending time outdoors with my family.
