Dr. Paul Gittens, PA/NYC

I just had a consultations with Dr. Paul Gittens, a urologist who specializes in sexual dysfunction. The reason I went to him is because he is the only doctor I have ever met who acknowledges that PFS is a real thing. Its heartbreaking to be so low and desperate, and then have a physician tell you PSSD isn't real. He heard me out and was very receptive. I am getting lab work and an ultrasound done, and then continuing treatment. He is approaching the problem from multiple angles- neurological, endocrine, and physical. I was able to do a virtual appointment so he may be an option for many of you. The only caveat is the price. He doesn't take insurance for visits, so it cost me $300.

Good to know there are doctors out there acknowledging this condition. Does he know about PSSD? If not would he be open to it? I may want to see a doctor like him at some point, but only if he recognizes or is willing to accept PSSD as a real condition

he had not heard of it but he was open to the idea.

HI

I was treated by Dr Gittens a year ago. I told him I had PSSD and he did not believe me even when I brought in studies for him to read.

Sovietxrobot,

I had just called for a consultation a few days ago before seeing your post but gave up as I was quoted a price of $425 when I wasn’t even sure if he would offer anything different from other urologists who take insurance.

Can you please regularly post your progress here as well as results from lab tests et cetera and any medications you are prescribed?

300 dollars for lab work and ultrasound?

What will the lab work show?
