The clinic is at 199 Vanessa Street, Buccleuch, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no appointment required. The initial consultation is R2 500.

Getting to the Clinic From Benoni
From Benoni Central and Northmead: N12 westbound to the N3 northbound, exit at Buccleuch.
From Rynfield and Farrarmere: N12 west via the Rynfield on-ramp.
From Boksburg and Bartlett: N12 west to the N3 north — a shorter run.
From Brakpan and Springs: N17 or R29 to the N12, then the N3.
From Daveyton and Etwatwa: R23 or N12 westbound.
From Kempton Park: R21 or R24 to the N3 — the quickest East Rand approach.
From Rynfield and Farrarmere: N12 west via the Rynfield on-ramp.
From Boksburg and Bartlett: N12 west to the N3 north — a shorter run.

From Daveyton and Etwatwa: R23 or N12 westbound.
From Kempton Park: R21 or R24 to the N3 — the quickest East Rand approach.
The N12 and N3 both congest badly at peak. Given the distance from Benoni, travelling outside peak is not a nicety but the difference between a 40-minute drive and a considerably longer one. The clinic being open at all hours makes that easy to arrange.
Open 24 Hours, With or Without an Appointment
The clinic is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can book ahead if you want a fixed time, or simply arrive — no appointment is required.
Because it is a longer trip, the 24-hour access matters differently here. It means the drive can be made when the roads are clear rather than when a diary says so, and it means one visit does not cost you a working day.
It also means the visit can be planned around whatever else brings you to that side of Johannesburg, rather than being a separate expedition.
The initial consultation is R2 500. That covers the full assessment described below. Any further care is discussed with you afterwards, and nothing is started without your agreement. For wider context see our guide to erectile dysfunction consultation costs in South Africa.
One thing the 24-hour door does not change: a medical emergency belongs at an emergency department, not here. The red flags below are worth reading before you set out.
Making One Trip Count
If you are driving 40 kilometres, it is worth arriving prepared so that the visit produces answers rather than a list of things to find out. That means bringing whatever you already have: recent blood results, a list of every medicine and supplement, and a clear sense of when the difficulty started and how it has changed.
It is also worth being honest about the pattern. Whether you still wake with erections, whether it happens in every situation or only some, and whether anything changed around the time it began — a new prescription, a period of heavy drinking, a stretch of bad sleep, a change at work. Those details do more to direct an assessment than anything else.
If the assessment points to blood tests, those are arranged through a pathology laboratory, and there are branches throughout the East Rand, so that part does not require another trip in.
What a Naturopathic Assessment Actually Covers
Erectile difficulty is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The first job of a consultation is to work out what is driving it in your case, because the answer changes what should happen next. The assessment covers your history and how the difficulty developed, your general health, the medicines you take, sleep, alcohol, smoking, stress and relationship context, and whether the pattern points more to a physical, psychological or mixed picture.
That distinction matters. Sudden loss of erections with morning erections still present looks different from a gradual decline over years with morning erections gone — the second pattern is more often physical, and more often worth investigating properly. Our guide to erectile dysfunction assessment and testing explains which tests are commonly relevant and why.
What This Clinic Does Not Do
Being clear about the limits is part of practising honestly. George Mulaudzi is a registered naturopath, not a urologist, medical doctor or psychologist. This practice does not perform surgery, does not give penile injections, does not prescribe PDE5 medication such as sildenafil or tadalafil, and does not provide testosterone replacement therapy.
Naturopathic care complements conventional medical care; it does not replace it. Nothing here is a reason to stop or change medicine your doctor has prescribed — that conversation belongs with the prescriber. Our comparison of a naturopath versus a urologist for erectile dysfunction sets out where each fits.
When to See a Doctor First, Not a Naturopath
Erectile dysfunction can be an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease, and it frequently accompanies diabetes, high blood pressure and raised cholesterol. Some situations need medical assessment before anything else:
• Chest pain, breathlessness on exertion, or pain in the jaw or arm — seek urgent medical care, not a consultation.
• An erection lasting more than four hours — this is a medical emergency; go to an emergency department.
• Erectile difficulty that began abruptly after starting a new prescribed medicine — speak to the prescriber first.
• Numbness in the genitals or legs, or new bladder or bowel changes — needs medical assessment promptly.
• Known diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure that is not currently being monitored.
• An erection lasting more than four hours — this is a medical emergency; go to an emergency department.
• Erectile difficulty that began abruptly after starting a new prescribed medicine — speak to the prescriber first.
• Numbness in the genitals or legs, or new bladder or bowel changes — needs medical assessment promptly.
• Known diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure that is not currently being monitored.
Benoni and the wider East Rand have GPs, pathology laboratories and hospital services throughout, including facilities in Benoni and Boksburg. If your assessment points to something that belongs with a doctor, you will be told so directly.
Preparing for the Consultation
Men who bring a little information get considerably more out of a first visit. Worth having with you:
• A list of every medicine and supplement you take, including anything bought over the counter.
• Any blood results from the last year or two — glucose or HbA1c, cholesterol, testosterone if it was done.
• Roughly when the difficulty started, and whether it came on gradually or suddenly.
• Whether you still get morning erections, and whether the difficulty happens in every situation or only some.
• Your typical week: sleep, alcohol, smoking, exercise, work stress.
• Any blood results from the last year or two — glucose or HbA1c, cholesterol, testosterone if it was done.
• Roughly when the difficulty started, and whether it came on gradually or suddenly.
• Whether you still get morning erections, and whether the difficulty happens in every situation or only some.
• Your typical week: sleep, alcohol, smoking, exercise, work stress.
What to expect at your first consultation walks through the appointment itself.
If You Cannot Travel
Remote consultation is genuinely worth considering from the far East Rand, particularly for a first conversation, because it removes a long drive entirely. It cannot cover anything requiring a physical examination, and you will be told where an in-person assessment is needed.
A Private Self-Check
Before booking anything, a few questions worth answering honestly to yourself:
1. Has the difficulty been present for more than three months?
2. Do you still wake with erections most mornings?
3. Did it start gradually over months or years, rather than suddenly?
4. Do you have — or have you not been checked for — diabetes, high blood pressure or raised cholesterol?
5. Has anything changed recently in your medication, sleep, drinking or stress?
2. Do you still wake with erections most mornings?
3. Did it start gradually over months or years, rather than suddenly?
4. Do you have — or have you not been checked for — diabetes, high blood pressure or raised cholesterol?
5. Has anything changed recently in your medication, sleep, drinking or stress?
How to read this. A gradual onset with morning erections gone, especially alongside question 4, points towards physical contributors and is worth a proper assessment including blood tests. Difficulty that came on suddenly, in some situations but not others, with morning erections intact, more often has a psychological or situational component — which is treatable, and not a character failing. A recent change in medication, sleep or alcohol is worth raising before anything else is considered.
This is a prompt for reflection, not a diagnosis, and it cannot tell you what is causing anything. If the difficulty is persistent, distressing, or accompanied by any of the warning signs above, arrange a proper assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the clinic from Benoni?
Roughly 40 kilometres via the N12 westbound and the N3 northbound to the Buccleuch interchange. Outside peak it is a straightforward drive; at peak it is not.
Is it worth the drive from the East Rand?
It depends on your situation. If your difficulty began right after a new prescription, the prescriber is the faster answer. If you have never been properly assessed and have never had bloods done, one unhurried consultation is usually worth the trip — or start with a remote consultation and see.
Will I need to come back for tests?
Not to Erectile Dysfunction Clinic. If testing is worthwhile it is arranged through a pathology laboratory, and there are branches throughout the East Rand.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Erectile Dysfunction Clinic is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and you are welcome to walk in. Booking ahead simply gives you a fixed time if you would rather not wait.
What does a consultation cost?
The initial consultation at Erectile Dysfunction Clinic is R2 500, which covers the full assessment. Anything beyond that is discussed with you first, and nothing is started without your agreement.
Will I be prescribed Viagra or Cialis?
No. Erectile Dysfunction Clinic is a naturopathic practice and does not prescribe PDE5 inhibitors, give injections, or provide testosterone replacement therapy. If medication is the appropriate route for you, that is a conversation with a doctor, and you will be told so.
Can erectile dysfunction be reversed?
It depends entirely on the cause. Where the drivers are lifestyle, medication-related or psychological, improvement is often realistic. Where there is established vascular or nerve damage, the aim is usually to support function and manage the underlying condition rather than to promise a cure. No practitioner can honestly guarantee a permanent result — this is covered in is erectile dysfunction permanent.
