Dr. Richard Bennett is a fellowship-trained Urologist at the new Sparrow Medical Group Urology practice. Dr. Bennett has personal experience that helps guide his work and is especially relevant during this month, which is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer while in college and immediately became an advocate for testing and self-exams, spreading the word among his fellow students. Already leaning toward a career in medicine, this critical life experience couldn’t help but affect his decision to become a Urologist and how he cares for patients. Dr. Bennett is fellowship-trained in areas such as erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, and infertility, and is part of a practice that covers a wide range of urological issues for both men and women.SMG Urology opened last year in response to growing demand for urologic care in Mid-Michigan. Current and forecasted need, now and for the next 20 years, will rapidly outpace the existing capacity of urologic providers in the region. The practice also serves as a teaching and research hub, connecting to the Sparrow Herbert-Herman Cancer Center and Sparrow’s Urology Residency program.
