Dr. Jonathan Clavell Named Fellow of Genitourinary Prosthetic Surgery (FGPS)

We’re proud to share that Jonathan Clavell-Hernández, MD, FACS, has been recognized as a Fellow of Genitourinary Prosthetic Surgery (FGPS) by the Society of Urologic Prosthetic Surgeons (SUPS).

The FGPS designation is a prestigious distinction awarded to surgeons who demonstrate excellence in genitourinary prosthetic surgery — the field that includes penile implants and other prosthetic treatments for men’s sexual and urinary health — along with a commitment to lifelong learning and the highest ethical and professional standards.

What FGPS recognition means for patients

For men considering a penile implant or prosthetic surgery, the FGPS distinction is a mark of verified expertise. Fellows must remain active in clinical practice, complete ongoing continuing education, contribute to the field through scholarship or mentorship, and uphold the highest ethical standards — with fellow status reaffirmed each year. In short, it recognizes surgeons who have made prosthetic urology a focused, career-long specialty rather than an occasional procedure.

It’s a natural addition to Dr. Clavell’s credentials. He already performs more than 350 penile implant surgeries each year, ranks among the top 1% of implant surgeons nationally by volume, and holds Center of Excellence recognition for both the Coloplast Titan and AMS 700 implant systems. He is also widely recognized for complex penile implant revisions and the treatment of complications from surgeries performed elsewhere.

The Society of Urologic Prosthetic Surgeons (SUPS) established the Fellow of Genitourinary Prosthetic Surgery (FGPS) designation to recognize surgeons who meet rigorous standards in the field. It reflects a combination of surgical excellence, continuing education, ethical practice, and contribution to advancing prosthetic urology.
