In the 40th episode of Meet the Penis, Dr. Perito discusses the importance of in-person consultations for erectile dysfunction. There are currently services that allow for phone consultations and prescriptions via the mail where patients never actually get face time with a trained medical professional about their condition.

Dr. Perito’s opinion is that there’s no substitute for a one-on-one appointment with a doctor to make sure all possible causes and treatments are explored, that any questions are answered, and any concerns are addressed. Patients shouldn’t have to compromise on the quality of care for their medical needs, especially where ED is concerned.
