Here are reputable online services people commonly use for erectile dysfunction (ED), grouped by what they’re best at and with a short reason for each recommendation. Check availability in your state, what kind of consult is required (questionnaire vs. video), pricing, and whether they’ll require labs or a follow-up.
-
Ro / Roman — Full men’s-health clinic that offers telehealth visits, prescriptions for sildenafil/tadalafil (and generics), discreet home delivery, and follow-up care. Good if you want a dedicated men’s-health brand with a simple subscription model.
-
Hims — Similar to Roman: easy online consult, generics and brand options, plus counseling and testosterone/mental-health services if you want more holistic care. Well-known, user-friendly app and discreet shipping.
-
BlueChew — Specializes in chewable sildenafil or avanafil (generic forms). Fast, subscription-based, and popular for users who prefer chewable formulations instead of swallowing pills.
-
Lemonaid Health — Straightforward telehealth platform with lower-cost generics, transparent flat pricing, and quick turnaround. Good if you want affordable, no-frills access to standard ED meds.
-
PlushCare — Telehealth platform that connects you with board-certified primary care physicians who can evaluate ED and prescribe meds. Works well if you want care that’s closer to a primary-care model and often accepts some insurance.
-
Teladoc / Doctor On Demand — Large telemedicine providers that can evaluate ED as part of general medical care. Good if you already use them for other care or prefer a platform that integrates with your insurance/medical record.
-
Vault Health — Focused men’s-health specialty care (testosterone, fertility, sexual health). Better if you suspect hormonal issues, want lab-driven evaluation, or need longer-term specialist follow-up.
Quick notes when choosing:
- ED can be a symptom of underlying medical issues (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, low testosterone) — a good service will screen for red flags and order labs or refer you if needed.
- Some meds have contraindications (e.g., nitrates); reputable services will screen for safety.
- Compare total cost (consult + meds + shipping) and whether they use brand-name or generic drugs.
- Avoid services that sell supplements with unproven claims as a primary “treatment.”
