Profile

In his specialist Urology practice in Dunedin, Prof Zarrabi manages the full spectrum of Urological conditions. He is an Associate Professor of Urology and also the only Urologist in New Zealand with a PhD in Male Fertility and -Microsurgery.

Prof Zarrabi performed the first successful micro-TESE in South Africa in 2018 and was part of the team that performed the world’s first successful penis transplant in 2014. 
It is with up-to-date knowledge, specialist skills obtained first-hand from leading international experts, and current appointment as the TD Scott Chair in Urology in Otago's Academic University Hospital, that he is able to offer a world-class service to his patients and those who are dearest to them.
