He is adjunct professor Department of Family Medicine at USC and adjunct professor in the College of Health Sciences at Marquette University. Dr. Dolhun also completed three fellowships, including family medicine Ob-Gyn and has delivered more than 200 In 2005, he founded Dolhun Clinic, a private medical practice in the heart of San Francisco. Dr. Dolhun provides guidance to the company on subjects ranging from general medicine to micronutrients to hydration and health.

As part of his efforts to improve lives through hydration and nutrition, Dr. Dolhun invented DripDrop ORS, a patented next-generation oral rehydration solution. Seeing the success of DripDrop as a mission-based company dedicated to changing minds about hydration, Dr. Turek reached out to Dr. Dolhun to help found a company with the mission of changing attitudes about having babies. Namely, he wanted to change the prevailing bias in medicine that puts the onus for having a healthy child entirely on women.

Having delivered more than 200 babies in his career, that mission resonated with Dr. Dolhun, and he joined his long-time colleague to co-found AlphaSperm. In the process, he learned such things as creating sperm, spermatogenesis, takes approximately six months and during the preconception period the man has a responsibility to optimize his health. In fact, when he decided to embark on the adventure of having a baby as a single father, Dr. Dolhun leveraged things he had learned working with Dr. Turek to take control of his own preconception/pre-natal health.

As a disaster medicine specialist, Dr. Dolhun has traveled to provide relief to survivors of earthquakes, floods, typhoons, tornadoes, wildfires, and war in more than 13 countries. He is the 2012 recipient of Marquette University’s Service to the Community Award and the 2017 recipient of the Mayo Clinic Alumni Association Humanitarian Award. Dr. Dolhun continues his humanitarian work through Doctors Outreach, which he founded.
