Suelyn Hall M.D. on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Suelyn Hall M.D.. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Suelyn, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
1st 90 min – 60 minute Core Class focusing on planks, followed by taking my dog Ziggy to the dog park.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am a board-certified urologist with 30 years of experience, a functional medicine doctor for over a decade, and an author. I have been married to an emergency medicine physician for thirty years, grounded in love and compassion. I desire to provide insights on a subject in rarely chartered territory, which is the purpose of my book, How to Get A-Head, so that it can make a difference for my many patients, friends, and the world on a much bigger scale and increase their life satisfaction.

I was told that urology was a male-centric field, but rather than being discouraged, that statement sparked a deeper motivation to challenge outdated expectations. This fueled my determination to pursue a field I was genuinely interested in, with a great blend of medicine and surgery.

Becoming a meaningful, successful, and respected urologic surgeon is a physically and emotionally demanding journey. Functional medical doctor added to my expertise in my practice after suffering the loss of more than one medical colleague before age forty-five from cancer. The challenges along this path have opened me up to approaching care and my practice from a different perspective.

My journey began in Montego Bay, Jamaica, where I was born and raised. I then migrated to Miami, Florida, for high school and undergraduate studies, and then to New York, where I completed medical school, an internship in general surgery, and a residency in urology. Then I moved to Kansas and worked in private practice at Associated Urologists for twenty-five years. I have since moved to Arizona, adding academics to my career as an associate professor in urology. Currently, I am practicing concierge and telemedicine at Quantum Health and Wellness Center.

America is not just a “land of opportunity,” it’s a land of “possibility.” Emigrating to the United States provided me with the opportunity to explore my potential and prove my merit and contribution in urology, and to be an associate professor, along with living the American dream by founding and owning Quantum Health and Wellness Center.

Though I am a rare female in the field of urology, it is easy for me to converse intimately about genitalia, penises, and sexuality, much like others would talk about the weather. This is not done with indifference but with a vast knowledge of what everyone is walking around secretly thinking, wondering for themselves, and never asking.

From my experience as a urologist, I have gained insider knowledge as I have listened to men confess their secrets, desires, and disappointments. I am sharing this to inspire stronger sexual exploration in relationships. The information in my book will inform, educate, empower, enlighten, increase your competence and confidence, and stimulate you. Knowing in detail how our bodies work allows the full unfolding of how eroticism can create magic in our psyches and in our lives.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
In medical school, my mentor was the head of the Department of Urology. He had an amazing impact on my life. Previously unaware of the urologic branch of medicine, I discovered that I enjoyed learning medical and surgical aspects in this field, specifically anatomy and dissecting the body.

When I did my general surgery rotation, I truly enjoyed surgery, but did not want to just deal with stools and guts. In choosing my specialty, I remembered urology as a good blend of medicine and surgery and asked my advisor about the field. He said, “It is a white male-dominated field. You should consider something else.” Nowadays, that wouldn’t be tolerated.

Ironically, in 1996, when I was a chief resident, this advisor, who suggested that I consider a specialty more suitable for women, developed prostate cancer. I just happened to be at the same hospital, on the same rotation, when his surgery was slated. I was assigned to be the one who operated on him as the chief resident. The surgery went perfectly, and I removed the cancer with no erectile dysfunction, no urinary incontinence, and no significant blood loss to require transfusion, which are all common side effects of prostate surgery. Neither one of us mentioned the past, but I felt that I had proven that I do stand out in the field. All my hard work paid off at that moment.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
I am not someone who ever thinks about giving up. When you say giving up, it’s doubting yourself. Life is about taking action and controlling what you can control. Nothing about giving up, you just have to keep trying.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
Insurance companies dictate what physicians can prescribe. Even personally, when my BP was high, my insurance would not cover the medication that was best for me.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
Biggest legacy is that I cared for my patients and had no hidden agenda: what you see, what you get. My purpose and legacy are to share my evolving practice to prime you for your own personal transformation, making your wildest sexual dreams come true. Add some science with mystical origins about sexuality, the seat of our creative power, and help you to become the architect of your own life.
