Kempton Park runs on shifts. OR Tambo, the freight and logistics operations around it, and the industrial belt nearby all employ men whose working hours make conventional consulting times close to useless. Erectile Dysfunction Clinic is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which for this part of Gauteng is the single most relevant fact on this page.
The clinic is at 199 Vanessa Street, Buccleuch, reached via the R21 and N3. No appointment is required and the initial consultation is R2 500.

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.
If you finish a shift at 23:00 or start one at 05:00, almost no healthcare is available to you at a time you can actually use. That is the practical reason a great many shift workers never get erectile difficulty assessed at all — not reluctance, just incompatible hours.
Because this clinic does not close, that barrier does not apply. Coming after a night shift, before a day shift, or on a rotating day off is entirely normal here, and the roads are clearer at those hours anyway.
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.
Shift Work, Sleep and Erectile Function
Shift work is not a neutral variable here. Rotating and night shifts disrupt circadian rhythm, and circadian disruption affects testosterone production, which follows a daily cycle and depends substantially on sleep. Chronic sleep restriction and fragmented daytime sleep both reduce it.
Shift work is also associated with higher rates of the conditions that most commonly underlie erectile difficulty — raised blood pressure, disturbed glucose metabolism, weight gain and cardiovascular disease. Add the tendency towards irregular meals, caffeine through the night and alcohol to force sleep in the morning, and the picture compounds.
None of that means the cause in your case is shift work. It means it is worth assessing properly, because some of it is modifiable within the constraints of a shift roster, and some of it points to things that should be tested rather than assumed.
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.
Kempton Park and the surrounding East Rand have GPs, pathology laboratories and hospital services throughout. If your assessment points to something that belongs with a doctor, you will be told so directly. If you work irregular hours, it is worth asking your GP about early or late slots as well.
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 covers the history, the discussion and the planning, and can often be arranged around a shift pattern. 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
Can I come after a night shift?
Yes. The clinic is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so there is no consulting window to fit around. Coming straight off a shift is entirely normal here.
How do I get there from Kempton Park?
R21 north to the N3 westbound, then the Buccleuch interchange. From the airport precinct, the R24 to the N3 northbound.
Could shift work be causing this?
It can certainly contribute. Circadian disruption affects testosterone, which follows a daily cycle and depends on sleep, and shift work is associated with higher rates of the cardiovascular and metabolic conditions that commonly underlie erectile difficulty. Whether it is the cause in your case is what an assessment is for.
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.
