You still have options. First, make sure you're taking them the right way.
Key points
- Dose, timing, food, and sexual stimulation all matter.
- Low testosterone, diabetes, or medicines may need attention.
- Beyond pills, options include a vacuum device, penile injections, low-intensity shockwave therapy for some men, and a penile implant, which works reliably for most men when other options haven't.
When should I come in about this?
If “ED pills not working: what are my options” is the reason you are looking us up, call 678-344-8900 or book online and we will see you at our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center at 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road, or at our Decatur Clinic at 2711 Irvin Way. Sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, or a painful erection that will not go down should be handled in an emergency department; a change in erections that has lasted weeks can be booked as a regular visit. At the appointment we review medicines and other health conditions, and we talk through options Advanced Urology already offers, from supervised pills to a vacuum device or a penile implant when those are a fit. Bring a photo ID, insurance information if you carry it, and a written list of medicines, including anything already tried for erectile dysfunction.
We would like to see you in Sandy Springs
Our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center at 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road, which has its own surgery center, and our Decatur Clinic at 2711 Irvin Way are both ready to welcome you. One number books either office: 678-344-8900.

How our Sandy Springs urologists think through this question
When someone brings this exact question into our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center, 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road, it gets a full hearing. Our Sandy Springs urologists give that question the time it deserves. In Sandy Springs our urologists sit with the story you bring, the tests already in hand, and what would actually change the plan, and then we talk about a procedure if one belongs in the discussion. When treatment comes up in Sandy Springs, we stay with what Advanced Urology already offers: pills, a vacuum erection device, injection therapy, and a penile implant, which we already offer and can walk through with you. If a popular option is one we do not offer, we will tell you so at the Sandy Springs visit. If a detail here disagrees with what you have been told, bring that to 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road and we will sort it out with you.
What a visit at Sandy Springs is usually like
The first appointment at our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center, 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road leaves room for you to tell the story in your own words. In that first conversation we ask how long the problem has lasted, what you have already tried, and which medicines you currently take. An exam is often part of that first Sandy Springs visit, and we walk through any urine study or scan before it happens. If a later procedure needs a surgery center, we will tell you whether it is scheduled here at 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road or at another Advanced Urology surgery center, and how to prepare. At the desk at our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center, 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road, please have a government-issued identification, insurance information if you carry it, and the names of the medicines you take; old records help, and we can see you even if the file is still coming together.
When to call our team at Sandy Springs about this
Call 678-344-8900 when the question you just read is the one on your mind, or when a test result named here has just arrived. We will get you on the Sandy Springs schedule, or you can use online booking, and we will tell you the earliest opening we can offer. Heavy bleeding, clots that stop you from urinating, a fever with pain in the side or back, or being unable to pass urine at all should be handled in an emergency department or by calling 911, rather than waiting for a routine slot at our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center, 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road.
