Los Angeles Male Medical Clinic

First of all, thanks to Unilocal reviews on here for sparing me what appears would have been a terrible decision to enter into a contract for service with this sham of an operation. I heard the radio advertisement and made an appointment to look into testosterone replacement. Although the initial visit is to include blood tests and evaluation of what your levels are, before I even had my blood taken, I was presented with a breakdown of costs, by a salesman in a lab coat, and encouraged to sign on for the 1 year plan, as it was more cost effective, clearly… and by signing on they would wave the $ 199 fee I was supposed to pay for the evaluation visit. It sounded good, and as he had gotten me excited about the benefits I was soon to experience from testosterone replacement therapy, I bargained a bit, but signed on for a year at $ 2500, which was to include everything… office visits to monitor my levels, all testosterone drugs, blood tests… it all sounded pretty good. Soon another guy in a lab coat was clumsily taking my blood and I was quickly shown the door and told I would be contacted to schedule an appointment in a week to review my results. Later on, though, I began to think about the fact that I didn’t really know that much this subject, and that I hadn’t really done proper research to determine if this might really be a good idea. Additionally, I hadn’t checked the reviews on this clinic. I soon was reading the reviews on this place and none of them were positive, and most mirrored the experience I’d had, which I hadn’t recognized at the time as flimsy, but was realizing this was looking like a bit of a scam. Hopefully, the 3 day right to change your mind will hold true. I’m exercising it, in any case! I called to let the clinic know that I realized I’d signed on for a course of treatment before even getting my blood test back and having an evaluation, and let them know I’d be open to going forward, after I’d had a chance to further evaluate with all of the info and with an appropriate order in my decision making process. The manager who they had speak with me wouldn’t give me his name, but proceeded to ask me why I had come in and wasted their time. I calmly assured him that I had come in for an evaluation and still wanted to pay for that and see the results before deciding on treatment. He told me I would not be getting an evaluation, claiming they had already ordered my testosterone cream from the pharmacy, and that I couldn’t cancel. He got quite belligerent. I asked his name again, which he refused to give and let him know I would be faxing, emailing and sending by certified mail, my decision to cancel my plan, as well as notifying my credit card. I can’t believe what a sham the operation appears to be. Steer clear. There have got to be clinics that actually care about providing a quality experience, but this isn’t one of them!

Wow! Los Angeles Male Medical Clinic has some advantages. The treatment for erectile dis function is effective. However, I am worried about the safety of this operation. Since I have been attending for 2.5 years I have only seen a doctor once. He was the biggest joke I have ever experienced. He is this old doctor who literally started yelling at me and telling me he is the doctor and I will do as he says. He did not even listen to my concerns on the testosterone I was using.
Don’t even get me started on there customer service. They have this general manager who sit in the back and is the biggest jerk I have ever met. They must be doing well because I know if I treated my customers like this I would never have a returning client.
This last incident though may be my last straw. They did blood work on me to see where I was at with my testosterone. I never spoke with a doctor. Instead I kept speaking with this technician who was extremely helpful but clearly was not qualified to answer my questions The technician told me that I have an abnormal blood test and I need to see the medical director who only comes in on Wednesday. The other doctor there was not qualified to keep giving me testosterone treatments. The entire thing just seems really shady. With other qualified clinics popping up I would not recommend this place for anybody.

I went the the Los Angeles Male Medical Clinic with the attitude that I was about to find the erection of my dreams. As it turns out it was the erection from hell. During the office visit one of the male nurses injected what he said was a low dose. The injection did not hurt. By the time the nurse left the room I could feel the erection had begun. He returned approximately 10 minutes later and tested it by squeezing with his hand and announced it was 70% hard. Throughout this entire time I felt like I was being rubber stamped as far as care went but I could have cared less for the reason mentioned above.
I can only describe the erection as feeling as though I had strapped on a dildo. It had absolutely no sensitivity and no affect on my sexual desires. I could have lived with that, however, but for the fact that it remained rock hard and insensitive for ⁷¹⁄₂ hours. I tried to jack off with the hopes that it would take its usual dive thereafter but couldn’t even come close to a climax (which I have no problem with otherwise).
They do give you an Antidote but that would have required another injection and I could only think of the pain involved with sticking a needle into what was now rock hard.
Overall this was not a pleasant experience and I am undecided whether I am even going back to pick up the remaining 7 doses.

Here’s my opinion, based on a long time experience:
I have been a «patient» (though I feel as though I have been treated like an «income source») of this clinic since late 2010. Because of a medical condition, I needed occasional help and sought it from this clinic. Though the emphasis is on money, with virtually no emphasis on my health, I put up with it since overall, I don’t have any other conditions, and I have achieved good results.
However, the money part of it all has just became too much for me. If your experience is anything like mine, do not expect to be treated like a medical patient visiting a physician. I recall having seen a doctor one time for about five minutes over the last 2 ½ years. The rest of the time, I have been seen by young men who appear to have some type of medical technician’s certification, but they do not appear to have medical or nursing training, nor much education that I could see. It appeared to me that their job was to fill my order and try to sell me more medication. An example of this are the testosterone injections. They run about 50 bucks per shot. (One guess as to who administers the shot? Right…) Though I have since sought treatment for apparent low-​T with another product (which has actually made my testosterone run a high), these guys have often asked me why I stopped taking the T shots, and if I needed another one. Fantastic.
In the past, I had been able to get some of their products in doses of 3 – 4, with about a day turnaround. Apparently, the new «policy’ is that these products must now be ordered in batches of 10 at $ 24.00 per dose with 3 – 4 days notice.
Or so I thought.
When I ordered this latest batch, the person on the other end of the line took my order and said «yeah — we can do it for $ 24.00 for you.» When I went to pick up, a young man who looked to be no more than 24, escorted me into a room and asked «did they go over pricing with you?». To which I replied «yes, these are $ 24.00 per dose.» He looked at me like I was a criminal and said «These are $ 30.00 per dose and your order is $ 300.00». When I refused, he said, truly pissed at this point «Listen, I’ll do that this time, but never again, OK?». He then went out to process my card and came back with a credit card tape receipt. I asked for the actual receipt to submit to my insurance (pipe dream, but …) and again (as if there was one more thing to do after I paid…) he returned with the single page copy as if he were doing me another favor.
Gents — I’m a long timer. I’m done with these guys. From my personal experience, it has been about CASH FLOW, and making money, and NO any discernible medical treatment by a medical doctor beyond a five minute exam 2 ½ years ago. I have no idea whether the doctor I saw was a Diplomate of the American Board of Urology — I didn’t see any board certifications.
I am planning to return to my own family doc and get a referral to a urologist. As I understand it, I can get a prescription for the same medication at a lesser cost, but this time, my care will be monitored by a medical doctor.
So the overall impression is 1 star. However, to be fair, their products have worked for me most of the time, and this is the only reason I put up with them. You may feel the same, and want to go with them for this reason. Just don’t expect to be treated like a medical patient in a physician’s office.

This Medical business receives the Death Star.
I responded to an advertisement in LA Times that showed Mike Ditka offering a free Prostate and Testosterone test at the Los Angeles Male Medical Clinic — Ultimate Performance Medical Center. Being a very fit with no medical problems, at 60 years old, I figured,…“Why Not?” A great performance is a good thing… in the gym, in the bedroom or in the boardroom. I figured it would be good idea to simply find out «What’s up»…no pun intended.
An appointment is made for 08÷05÷2011… On the phone they told me to set aside about 90 minutes for the full exam
I show up, fill out all forms, which included identifying that I have no medical issues. Then I am escorted to a room by a young man.
The Doc comes in and reviews at my chart, looks up and says, «so what are you here for?» Your health appears to be perfect, sex life is great. so…what’s up?“
I explain to him that I am simply checking my «vital signs» and have many friends, business associate, etc who could definitely benefit from their service, and thought that it would also be a good idea to see what procedures they perform, what performance enhancing medications they prescribe, how they educate and how they manage their overall treatment of patients.
The Doc smiles and tells me that blood will be drawn and sent to a lab for testing/​analysis and sent back for to the clinic for interpretation. He leave and 2 minutes later an assistant arrives, take blood and tells me to go home! Woah, I am in/​out in 15 minutes and surmise that the full exam will take place when I return to discuss my test results with the Doctor.
A week later I receive a call from the office. «Hi, is this Mr. Siegel?» «Yes it is», I respond.
«Well, Mr. Siegel your test results are in and your results are ‘not so bad’ «
The young man is queried; «Is the medical terminology he learned in school?» and ask if he is medically licensed to render an interpretation of my test scores over the phone. The phone goes silent. so I ask him what metrics are these test scores being interpreted against… In other words is my test score for testosterone «good» for a 60 year old, vs a 25 year old?
More silence. I then ask if it is possible to come in and have a medically licensed physician review my test scores and provide me with the balance of the exam and overview of their services. Now, one would think that the clinic’s properly trained medical assistant would have made that suggestion.
Of course, by this time, my BS radar has multiple bleeps screaming across the screen…
I call to set an appointment, but am told to just walk in. Today 08/​19/​2011 I show up at the office, sign in. Within 10 minutes I am brought back to a room. Aside from 3 other patients, in my age bracket, waiting in the lobby, the clinic is completely empty, except for lots of fellows in their 30’s –40’s running around with white coats (the DOCTORS)…
So, I wait and wait and wait for about 45 minutes. Hmmmmm… I poke my head out and ask one of the assistants about how long I’ll need to wait, since I was under the impression that the «Big Exam» and test review would take about 60 – 75 minutes. Like most people, have a busy life with a business appointment to follow.
The Assistant comes back to the room within two minutes, with the printed test results in hand. Basically, I am told the same information. that my results are «not bad» and fall within the normal range. Of course I ask him about seeing the doctor so we can discuss my medical concerns (which the assistant had no knowledge that I did not have any). At this point I simply wanted to find how this clinic might help my friends, many who have medical issues relevant to the remedies they promise.

The medical assistant then tells me that a Doctor is just not available and escorts me to the exit door. We walk through the clinic that has… as you guessed it, no patients… but lots of Doctors … in white lab coats… making busy work. The medical assistant careful discloses, as we walk to the exit «We have just been swamped».
Needless to say, if you are looking for assembly line medical care that has anything to do with your prostate or testosterone levels and want any sort of attention, you better have a significant problem. You might get the time of day.
Now if you do have an issue, and agree to have this clinic address them, you will be at the mercy of a medical organization whose primary goal it is to move as many patients through their systems as possible. Large overhead does peculiar things to a medical business.
Will my friends and associates be referred to this clinic? .NOT!
Los Angeles Male Medical Clinic — Ultimate Performance Medical Center missed the biggest opportunity by ultimately underperforming in the most important arena of the patient/​doctor relationship… that of creating trust.
Mind your Member elsewhere…

If you want to go to a Dr.‘s office and be treated like you are attending a time share presentation, then go. It is the environment where they sit you down with a closer and they don’t give you anything till you sign up. Even then their web site says you will have 2 lab tests done «that did not happen» there is also a guarantee you will experience an erection during your visit, «that didn’t happen». Thier manner of treating you is not warm or friendly. When I have called they ask me all of my personal info and promise to call me back in 5 to 10 minutes. They never did. I always had to call them. Last of all they will not ship your meeds to you so you must drive to them each time it must be filled and that takes 3 days. Never again go to your urologist.

Avoid, they take your $$, don’t deliver the product, and then avoid your calls.
