Erectile dysfunction is common, treatable, and nothing to be embarrassed about — yet many men still put off getting help. For the West Hollywood community, the right care means more than a prescription: it means a knowledgeable specialist who treats every patient with discretion and respect, and who takes the time to find out what’s actually causing the problem. Dr. Justin Houman provides exactly that kind of personalized care.
Dr. Houman is a board-certified urologist and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, fellowship-trained in male reproductive and sexual medicine at UCLA and an Assistant Professor of Urology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. His practice — conveniently located near West Hollywood and recognized as a Center of Excellence for inflatable penile implant surgery — offers the full spectrum of ED care. As a member of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America, he pairs academic expertise with a welcoming, judgment-free approach for every patient.
I was sent to Dr. Houman from another Urologist that was pretty confused about my situation. Dr. Houman’s team scheduled me quickly, and once we met, Dr. Houman took action immediately. He has a great team that is very nice. He is very personable, listens, jumps right into the trenches, explains everything, and is very responsive. I love working with Dr. Houman, definitely the best Doctor I’ve had!
What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is the consistent difficulty getting or keeping an erection firm enough for satisfying sex. It’s only a medical concern when it becomes a recurring pattern rather than an occasional one. Because an erection depends on coordinated blood flow, nerves, hormones, and mindset, ED can arise from a physical cause, a psychological one, or both — and sorting out which is the foundation of effective treatment.
Care That Respects Every Patient
Sexual health is personal, and seeking care for it should feel safe and respectful for everyone. Dr. Houman’s practice welcomes patients of all backgrounds, identities, and relationships, offering confidential, affirming care without assumptions or judgment. For the diverse West Hollywood community, that means a place where any man can talk about ED openly and receive answers grounded in medicine rather than stigma.
Treatment Options
Treatment is always matched to the underlying cause, and Dr. Houman offers the complete range:
- Lifestyle and Medical Management: Improving cardiovascular and metabolic health and adjusting contributing medications often forms the foundation.
- Oral Medications: FDA-approved PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil and tadalafil are the most common first-line option.
- Testosterone Optimization: When low testosterone contributes, restoring healthy levels can improve desire and function.
- Penis Pump Therapy: A vacuum erection device offers a non-invasive, drug-free option.
- Penile Implant Surgery: For severe or treatment-resistant ED, an inflatable penile implant provides a discreet, reliable long-term solution.
- Emerging Therapies: Shockwave therapy, Botox for ED, and exosome therapy are newer, regenerative-style approaches some men explore.
One important note on those newer options: low-intensity shockwave therapy, Botox, and exosome or platelet-rich plasma treatments are currently considered investigational or experimental for erectile dysfunction and are not FDA-approved for this use. Dr. Houman is transparent about the current evidence so you can make a fully informed decision.

Meet Dr. Houman
Expert in Men’s Health with Tower Urology and Cedars Sinai
Dr. Justin Houman, MD, FACS is a board-certified urologist and fellowship-trained microsurgeon at Tower Urology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. His subspecialty training in male reproductive medicine and microsurgery is held by fewer than 2% of practicing urologists in the United States.
His clinical focus is narrow by design. Varicoceles, chronic testicular pain, male infertility, vasectomy, testosterone optimization, erectile dysfunction, penile implant surgery, and Peyronie’s disease are not add-on services here. They are the practice. Patients travel from across the country and internationally for procedures, particularly microsurgical varicocelectomy, spermatic cord denervation, and inflatable penile implant surgery, that require a level of subspecialty training and surgical volume most urology practices do not have.
