I was looking for an alternative to the typical erectile dysfunction treatments and the radio commercials for Dr. Kevin Hornsby sounded like just the solution I needed. I scheduled an appointment with Mark who explained that there were 2 medication options; injectable or subligual (under the tongue). The end result was nothing but a ripoff, not to mention extreme disappointment.
My 12 noon appointment took over 2 hours. After waiting in an exam room for at least 20 minutes, a techinician came in to take a brief medical history, then he said the doctor would be in shortly. After at least another 20 minutes Dr Hornsby came in. He was very upbeat and extremely cordial.
Dr Hornsby did a cursory examination and went right into the sales pitch about his "special" formulas. I told him I did not want the injectable medication however he urged me to try it during this visit just to see the results. He promised I would feel no pain, just a slight thump.
The trial does was administered by yet another person after waiting 20 more minutes, and it happened to have been very painful. I was left with a result that lasted, uncomfortably, for over 4 hours and was quite bruised.
After at least another 30 minutes, a discharge planner (the same Mark that mnade my appointment) came in to discuss my bill and my order for medication. It was at that time that I was told the exorbitant prices and decided not to proceed.
Mark continued to do a sell job on me and I decided to buy only 2 of the sublingual version of the medication after Mark explained that it was similar to the breath strips and they can be cut in half or thirds. Mark even mentioned that he cuts his becuase they're so powerful.
Mark further sold me by saying that at $25 per dose, if I cut them in half, it comes out to only $12.50 per dose. I proceeded with the order for 2 doses which came out to $89 after they added the express shipping charge of $39 which promised to get me the medication by the weekend.
The weekend came and went and no medication came. I called the following Tuesday and wouldn't you know....they forgot to place my order. To placate me they agreed to send the order to me overnight and I received it today.
When I opened the package the first thing I noticed was that the medication was not in strips ut rather was in tablet form. I immediately called the office and Mark wouldn't get on the phone so I spoke to another technician, Steven, who said he could help me. He explained that the medication cannot be cut in half and that things had changed in the time since Mark and I spoke.
I also looked up the name of the medication on the package and it was not some "special" formula but was instead simply a variation of Levitra. When I asked Steven about this he said that only the injectable medication is a "special" formula, not the oral version.
So in the end, I spent $199 for the consultation, plus $89 to get 2 tablets of Levitra when I could have gotten 30 of the same thing for about $120 from my pharmacy.
These people are running a racket and should either be shut down, or should be forced to be truthful to people like me who came in fully expecting the help I need.
My experience at Dr. Kevin Hornsby's Florida Men's Medical Clinic on Griffin Road in Fort Lauderdale pretty much parallels that of Larry G in Georgia (except they got me to sign up for more than twice as much: $ 2,131.00): interviews, cursory exam of genitals, pitch by white-coated “car salesman talking guy”, return visit to get “retrained on applying the medication”, etc.
But nothing has worked for me. At my last appointment the urologist said for the first time that because of my age (84) I could not expect to have the results of a younger man. Now I am completely dissatisfied. I have sent back the medical kit with all items and medications remaining in my possession and requested that I receive return of payments made or still owed. I hope we can reach a satisfactory settlement without credit card disputes (At my first appointment they opened a credit-card account—no interest first six months—with Care Credit of GE Capital, which I see has several hundred listings on , or complaints to state and federal entities, mediation or small-claims court
Also I would be interested to know the outcome of Larry G's problem in Georgia. I see that clinic answered his complaint evasively saying “there are no guarantees in medicine.” But they repeat their “commitment to customer satisfaction” and “New patients have nothing to lose, and EVERYTHING to gain . . . regardless of age or medical history.”
I will update this report to advise if they mean it.
