Sexual Education
At Maze, patient education is a critical part of what we do. As you learn more about your body and your specific condition, we will work together to ensure that your sex life is the best it can be. Maze specializes in Sexual Health for patients in Westchester, New York City NYC, Connecticut, and New Jersey.
Critical For A Better Sex Life
Patient education is at the heart of all we do.
Whether it’s medication, a procedure, behavior modification, or therapy, you will become a partner in your treatment as you learn about your body and your specific condition. We will take the time to teach you the medical facts and give you the information you need to make treatment decisions.
When it comes to human sexuality, this is even more important!
It is fairly safe to say that most men received very little sexuality education growing up. Much of what most men learned about sex came from friends, pornography, and trial and error. Needless to say, these are not the most reliable authorities!
All of our patients receive credible, authentic sexuality education. Most men sit down with a Clinical Sexuality Educator and have a chance to go over their sexual history and current situation to see where education and information can help. Very often, we find related conditions or issues that may be contributing to a patient’s condition without him ever realizing it.
Identifying The Cause
Very often, we can find solutions to working around a specific issue while it is being addressed medically. Instead of waiting for full medical treatment to take effect, we will help restore your intimacy by learning new techniques, activities, and expressions of sexuality.
All too often when it comes to sexual issues, men are told that it’s all in their head. This message can be very cruel and often causes problems in itself. Sexual issues are always a medical condition. Sometimes a sexual condition may be a symptom of stress or anxiety, but just like a stress-related ulcer or a migraine, it is still a medical issue. There are medical treatments for every condition.
We work to educate men about the medical cause of their sexual problems. By talking to the patient and through careful investigation, we can often discover complicating factors as well as several underlying issues that can hamper recovery.
Understanding Symptoms
Almost every medical condition has more than one symptom. Through education, a man can learn to recognize symptoms and changes in symptoms that will help determine his treatment. A patient’s participation in being aware of progress and recognizing changes enables him to become a full partner in his sexual healthcare treatment.
Men can learn to anticipate certain symptoms in certain situations and avoid them. Other symptoms might need a more creative approach to compensate for challenges. While your medical treatment is unfolding, rest assured that you will be taught and equipped to regain and maintain a rewarding intimate life.
Evaluation
Part of our evaluation of every patient is a full sexual history. Most men find this process interesting. Total confidentiality is assured as we seek to find patterns of symptoms, behavior, and activity. Each man has a very complicated, often confusing, sexual story.
During this time, we determine exactly what goals the patient has in seeking treatment. What kind of sex life does he want? With whom does he want to have sex? What is his sexual style – mild or wild? Men find they are fully supported as they learn to integrate medical treatment, behavior modification, and sexuality education into their sex lives.
Diagnosis
Diagnosing a medical condition is often a complicated process. Patients often see one symptom of a condition and seek medical help based on that. Education and discussion often reveal symptoms of a more comprehensive problem a man had never noticed or did not realize were part of a larger issue. Each discussion, interview, and history helps Dr. Werner to see the full picture of every patient’s situation.
Treatment
Included in most medical treatments are therapies that might require a change in some behaviors. This might include exploring non-intercourse sexual activities. It might include improving body awareness. It might even include a change in sexual expression. The vast majority of men enjoy the new level of intimacy that these changes usually bring.
Each patient’s religious, cultural, and personal mores are honored in this process. The patient remains fully in control of this aspect of treatment. We will offer various ideas and skills, the patient can choose which ones to implement.

Patient Stories
Our deepest thanks for your support in our fertility journey
We want to express our deepest thanks for your support in our fertility journey.
We are still very much in the throes of our family building story, but as we reflect back on the last year, the moment we stepped into your office is one of our biggest turning points. We were terrified, and your guidance, reassurance, and compassion during a time of extreme uncertainty for us meant more than words can express. That moment when you let us know that having biological children would be a possibility for us will hold a special place in our hearts for the rest of our lives.
Your ability to create an atmosphere of comfort and understanding sets a benchmark in patient care that is truly unparalleled.

I deeply appreciate the efforts you and your staff have made...
Maze has created an experience of gaining insight and comfort with and acceptance of, my post surgical sexual self.
Based on my experience with Maze, I would highly recommend you, your clinicians and staff, to others — your approach and quality of concern and support (and determination!) have been hugely valuable.

I have been a patient for almost 10 years...
If you want to go to an office where everyone there is encouraging, helpful, and sincere then Dr. Werner and staff is the place for you. I have been a patient for almost 10 years and never did I think it was about money for his operation.
They have always gave me clear information and guided me through any procedure or process I was working through. I would recommend this office to anyone that needs help!

I could not recommend Dr. Werner and his great team more highly!
I have been seeing Dr. Werner and his fine staff for a few years now and simply put-its the best medical care I’ve ever experienced. Due in large part to the guidance and healthcare I’ve experienced here I feel like the best version of myself at age 41. I could not recommend this Dr. Werner and his great team more highly! Thank you all for what you do!!
JC, NY, Age 41
I Wish I Could Give Them More Stars!!
This is an amazing place!!!! Not only is Dr. Werner great, but the entire staff is incredible. They have completely changed my life for the better. Only wish I had known about them sooner. I wish I could give more stars!!!

I am in great, knowledgeable, and experienced hands.
Excellent care and follow up by Dr. Werner and Nick. As a doctor myself, I feel I am in great, knowledgeable, and experienced hands. A+

To state that Dr. Werner saved my life, would be an understatement!
I have been under his care for almost a decade during which he guided me through successful Peyronies treatment, a penile fracture, erectile dysfunction, and in the end, a life beyond my wildest dreams. Dr. Werner, Nick, Paul, Rima, and his entire staff, have spent so much time investing in my physical health, in an effort to not only solve medical problems, but to maximize my overall quality of life.
Dr. Werner is beyond a great practitioner. He’s a great man. His balance of exemplary knowledge, comprehensive treatment, humor, and individualized patient care, has far exceeded any expectation that I have ever had for a doctor. This is to say that Dr. Werner has always treated me as a human being, first. Therefore, his understanding of the person whom he treats, in addition to only the most sound scientific research, makes his work life-altering.
Over the past 10 years, I have continually peppered his staff with questions and concerns, as I have always felt the need to stay educated. Backed by tremendous patience and humility, Dr. Werner has never made me feel like a number. I feel grateful that I found his office, years ago. To that end, I no longer consider him, Nick, or Paul, mere practitioners, but dear friends. I owe much, if not all of my progress over the last few years, to MAZE MENS HEALTH.

Dr. Werner and team are knowledgeable, confident and really care about you as an individual!
My first impressions of Dr. Werner: smart, caring, confident, warm. He really listened to me and demonstrated a high level of confidence that he could help me. He understood the impact my symptoms were having on my life and didn’t minimize them. Paul (therapist) and Kristy (exercise physiologist) were also professional and inspired both calm and confidence.
I was initially referred to Dr. Werner for ED and began using a combination of medication and penile injections. Once Dr. Werner found the right dose for me, I was able to get the best erection I had had in over six months. I later developed Peyronie’s Disease as well. I was fortunate that Dr. Werner had significant experience treating Peyronie’s Disease, as he was able to assess me and recommend Xiaflex injections. While treating my Peyronie’s, Dr. Werner also suggested I begin Shockwave Therapy to further help my ED. Since completing both treatments, not only has my Peyronie’s seen dramatic improvement, but my ability to get an erection has improved 95%!
I feel very positive about my experience with Dr. Werner and Maze. These are good people and they are good at what they do. They understand the problem, treat you with respect and take your concerns seriously. I can’t imagine there’s any sexual health issue Dr. Werner would not be able to help you with! If you do consider coming to Maze, it’s important to stick with it and remember that these are medical issues and results do not happen overnight. I was incredibly nervous when I came in for my first appointment, but Dr. Werner has created an environment and a team at Maze that will immediately put you at ease.
Additionally, you and your partner must be on the same page since treatment is a process and requires both patience and good communication. I’m happy to say my wife and I have seen tremendous benefits, becoming even more communicative and closer as a couple throughout this process. Two years ago, I never would have believed coming in for treatment would have changed our relationship so positively.

Bottom line is that Dr. Werner and all the staff were wonderful!
Very impressive and professional medical practice. Top staff, rigorous process, timely service and excellent follow-up. There is also a positive and vibrant demeanor projected by everyone in the office that I have not seen in other places. There is extensive testing that can get pricey for out of network patients, but cannot argue with the treatment process, quality and results. Bottom line is that Dr. Werner and all the staff are wonderful!

The word I would use for Dr. Werner is “thorough."
In 2009, I came to see Dr. Werner for erectile dysfunction, but I was having symptoms for ten years before I got here! I had seen many other urologists, but they just couldn’t figure it out. When I found Dr. Werner, all that changed.
I was very impressed with the caring and knowledge he possesses. He really went out of his way to find out everything that was a piece of my issues. The word I would use for Dr. Werner is “thorough.”
He discovered that I had low testosterone as well as erectile dysfunction. Once I started treatment he had me come in every 4-6 months to check my numbers and regulate me. Together, we found the right treatment cocktail, and my issues were resolved within 4-6 weeks!*
If you ever feel, at any point in your life, that there is a problem, seek help immediately!
A, NY, Age 47
Dr. Werner combines thoroughness with panache.
Dr. Werner combines thoroughness with panache. I feel like his care is totally comprehensive and I feel total confidence that no details will be missed. I have very high standards and he more than surpassed them all.
R, NY, Age 59
Dr. Werner helped us start a family. We will always be extremely thankful.
How are you, Bat Sheva, and Dr. Werner? We hope all of you are doing well and I’m sure helping people move towards sexual wholeness.
We’re doing really well. Our little miracle from God, Anna Joy, is almost 5 months old now!! She is rolling over, babbles a lot, and has the cutest toothless smile. Stan and I absolutely adore her and marvel every day that God gave us this amazing little girl to take care of. We’re so blessed.
We will never forget how Dr. Bat Sheva, and Dr. Werner played such a vital role in our journey towards parenthood. We will always be extremely thankful to God for you.
Please send our love to them.

Most compassionate, friendly doctor.
I have been a patient of Dr. Werner’s for over 21 years and he is the most compassionate, friendly doctor I have ever met.
I look for his advice even outside of his specialty. The same can be said for Nick and all of the staff at Maze.
