When it comes to addressing men’s health issues, such as erectile dysfunction and low testosterone, there are more options now than ever before. Online platforms like Hims and Ro offer easy access to treatments, and are often an appealing option given their convenience and low upfront costs. While these options may seem attractive, they fall short of delivering the specialized care you can expect from a clinic like Obsidian Men’s Health.
Choosing a dedicated men’s health clinic, staffed by well trained board certified urologists, can make a huge difference in your results and overall wellness. Here are a few reasons to consider our men’s sexual health clinic over that of faceless online providers.
Diligent, Personalized Assessments
The “one-size-fits-all” approach taken by many online men’s health services can overlook your individual needs. At Obsidian Men’s Health, our treatment plans begin with a thorough, face-to-face assessment and comprehensive physical examination with an experienced urologist who specializes in men’s health. Urologists are the only true physician experts when it comes to low testosterone and sexual dysfunction in men, hard stop. We use advanced diagnostic tests, from lab work and genetic testing to imaging, to not just treat your symptoms at hand but uncover the root issue at hand.
Online providers typically offer standardized questionnaires and broad prescriptions, which can’t account for the nuances of your health profile. Frankly, practicing medicine without performing a physical examination is unethical poor patient care. By addressing your unique physiology and underlying health factors, our clinic offers a more targeted approach designed to deliver optimal results, improving not just your symptoms but your overall quality of life.
Advanced, Evidence-Based Treatments
As a specialized clinic, Obsidian Men’s Health provides cutting-edge therapies and protocols unavailable through other providers. Our treatments are rooted in the latest clinical research and proven methods that go beyond the limited pharmaceutical options most online services offer. At Obsidian Men’s Health, we prioritize integrating new advancements, giving our patients access to state-of-the-art treatments that work at a deeper, more restorative level.
Comprehensive Care
While many popular online services provide quick prescriptions for issues like low testosterone, achieving true hormone balance requires a sophisticated understanding of male physiology. Low testosterone is often more complex than just “low numbers”; it requires proper evaluation of levels over time and the use of therapies that can maintain fertility and balance other key hormones.
At Obsidian Men’s Health, we offer several treatment options, from injectable and topical testosterone to more nuanced options like Natesto nasal testosterone, which is less likely to interfere with natural testosterone production. Our approach to hormone optimization involves regular monitoring to adjust treatments based on your evolving needs, ensuring safe, long-term benefits and fewer side effects.
Access to Physician When You Need It
Unlike many online platforms, our model is designed to give clients unparalleled access to their physicians. With intentionally smaller caseloads, our expert physicians can offer prompt, responsive support by phone or email–even, in some cases, outside of traditional office hours, including nights and weekends. This flexibility allows us the freedom to begin medically appropriate treatments without delay, ensuring you get the care you need, exactly when you need it.
Empathy and Discretion is at Our Core
Visits to general physicians or local urologists are often rushed and lack the personal touch that makes sensitive conversations comfortable. Obsidian Men’s Health, by contrast, offers an empathetic and discrete approach to discussing men’s health in a clinical setting. We understand the importance of dignity, especially when it comes to addressing issues as personal as sexual health. Many men will avoid seeking treatment due to the stigmatism attached to discussing sexual dysfunction, or the lack of sensitivity they’ve encountered in traditional settings. At Obsidian Men’s Health, our approach is built on compassion and confidentiality. Our top priority: the comfort and well-being of our patients.
Unmatched Expertise in Men’s Health
With over 30 years of combined experience, our urologists are dedicated specialists in helping men achieve and sustain a healthy, fulfilling sex life. They bring decades of focused expertise, offering advanced knowledge and a compassionate approach uniquely tailored to men’s health. When you choose Obsidian Men’s Health, you’re placing your health in the hands of experienced professionals who are committed to delivering the highest-quality care.
Continuity of Care with Expert Support
One of the most significant advantages of working with Obsidian Men’s Health over an online provider is continuity of expert care. At our clinic, you’ll have access to the same dedicated team throughout your treatment, ensuring that every decision about your care is informed by a urologist who knows your medical history and goals. Online services often rely on a rotating pool of “providers”, limiting their ability to provide the in-depth, tailored care you deserve. Again, if you are not under the care of a urologist for these issues you are not receiving anything remotely approaching expert care. Should any complications arise, or if you need an adjustment to your treatment plan, our urology team is available to provide immediate support.
A family practice doctor and nurse practitioner recently told me that “you don’t have to be a board certified urologist to treat low T or ED in men”. I said that’s absolutely correct, all you need is a medical or NP license and prescription pad. But, those two things do not make you qualified and they certainly don’t make you an expert. Advanced practice providers (NP/PA and physicians from other specialties have no legitimate training in erectile dysfunction or low testosterone. That is simply a fact. As a urologist, I can legally prescribe medication to treat heart disease. Is that ethical or high quality medical care? Absolutely not. Why do these providers practice medicine outside of their training and expertise level? Money. We urologists are the ones who have to clean up their messes when men have complications such as infertility, gynecomastia and delayed prostate cancer diagnoses.
Investing in Your Health and Well-Being
While online services may seem appealing for their convenience and price tag, they often fail to deliver quality care and personalized treatment that can make a lasting difference. Men’s health is complex and deserves specialized attention. At Obsidian Men’s Health, our commitment to excellence, comprehensive care, and personalized service sets us apart from online platforms, helping you achieve real, meaningful improvements in your health.
