ED care in Metairie
Urologist or men’s health clinic: which do you need?
Urologists, primary care doctors, and men’s health clinics all treat erectile dysfunction (ED). A urologist is the right choice for surgery, cancer care, and complex urinary problems. A physician-led clinic like Aspire focuses on ED, with private, in-person visits and no referral needed. If you need a urologist, we’ll tell you.

When a urologist is the right call
- You may need surgery, such as a penile implant or a prostate procedure.
- You have, or may have, prostate, bladder, kidney, or testicular cancer.
- You have blood in your urine, trouble urinating, a new lump, or severe pain.
Emergency: an erection lasting more than 4 hours needs emergency care right away.
When a men’s health clinic may fit
- ED is your main concern.
- Viagra or Cialis has stopped working, or never did.
- You want a private, in-person visit with a licensed provider.
- You don’t have a referral and don’t want to wait for one.
- You want ED medication, ED injections, and Soundwave Therapy in one place.
