Overview
For men in St John's Wood, Maida Vale, Marylebone, and Hampstead.Read moreShow less
Where professional demands, international lifestyles, and high expectations of healthcare quality converge — erectile dysfunction requires a private consultation that operates at a genuinely high clinical standard. Platinum Medical Centre on Lodge Road, NW8 is 3 minutes from St John's Wood Underground and provides exactly that. Dr. Harshawardhan Godbole FRCS sees private ED patients here with an assessment protocol that goes well beyond a prescription: full hormonal panel, cardiovascular risk stratification, and where indicated, penile Doppler ultrasound. For Central London patients who expect consultant-led care that matches international private healthcare standards, this is the appropriate starting point.
What to know
Private Erectile Dysfunction Treatment at Platinum Medical Centre, NW8
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory intercourse.Read moreShow less
ED is frequently an early cardiovascular warning sign — the same endothelial dysfunction that narrows coronary arteries reduces penile arterial inflow. Assessment includes testosterone, fasting glucose, lipid profile, blood pressure, and penile Doppler where indicated. Treatment options: PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil), testosterone replacement, vacuum devices, penile rehabilitation, and for refractory cases, penile implants.
The International Patient and ED at Platinum Medical Centre
Platinum Medical Centre's NW8 location attracts a significant proportion of international patients.Read moreShow less
Diplomats, business professionals, and London-based expatriates — for whom ED assessment must meet international medical standards and produce documentation suitable for sharing with overseas physicians. Dr. Godbole provides a written consultation summary including all test results, clinical findings, diagnosis, and treatment rationale — a format that supports continuity of care across international healthcare systems. For patients whose ED has been managed abroad with treatments not available in the UK, or vice versa, this cross-system clinical perspective is particularly valuable.
Common ED Presentations at Platinum Medical Centre, St John's Wood
The NW8 ED patient tends to be well-informed and often arrives having already researched PDE5 inhibitors, testosterone therapy, and the relationship between ED and cardiovascular health.Read moreShow less
Dr. Godbole's consultations at this location are structured to engage with this level of preparation — reviewing what the patient already knows, correcting misconceptions where they exist, and adding the clinical dimension that online research cannot provide. The penile Doppler ultrasound — which objectively quantifies arterial inflow and assesses for venous leak — is frequently requested by this patient group and is available at Platinum Medical Centre.

Questions
Can I get a same-week private ED assessment at Platinum Medical Centre in St John's Wood?
Yes. Most patients at HRG Urology Platinum Medical Centre are seen within 2–5 working days of first contact. Call +44 (0)7884 183968 to check current availability. The initial assessment includes full hormonal and metabolic blood panel, blood pressure measurement, and treatment recommendation in one appointment.
I am an international patient in London temporarily — can I have a complete ED assessment at one appointment at Platinum Medical Centre?
Yes. Dr. Godbole's team can structure a comprehensive ED assessment within a single appointment for international patients: full blood panel (testosterone, LH, FSH, prolactin, glucose, lipids), clinical examination, and treatment recommendation. A written summary suitable for sharing with overseas physicians is provided. Same-day blood results can be arranged via private laboratory. Call +44 (0)7884 183968 to arrange a consolidated appointment.
What is penile Doppler ultrasound and is it available at Platinum Medical Centre?
Penile Doppler ultrasound assesses blood flow in the penile arteries before and after injection of a vasoactive agent (papaverine or alprostadil). Peak systolic velocity and end-diastolic velocity measurements quantify arterial inflow and identify venous leak — distinguishing vascular ED from hormonal or psychogenic causes. This distinction is important for treatment planning: arterial insufficiency responds differently to treatment than venous leak. The investigation is available through HRG Urology at Platinum Medical Centre.
Is Platinum Medical Centre appropriate for men with ED who also have a history of prostate cancer?
Yes. Post-prostate treatment ED — whether following radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy, or hormone therapy — is one of the most complex forms of ED to manage, and requires a urologist with specific expertise in penile rehabilitation. Dr. Godbole's dual Cancer Lead and private consulting experience makes him particularly well-placed to manage post-prostate treatment ED at Platinum Medical Centre, where penile rehabilitation programmes and vacuum device therapy are available alongside PDE5 inhibitors.
Does private ED treatment at Platinum Medical Centre include psychological support?
Where psychological factors — performance anxiety, relationship stress, depression — contribute significantly to ED or impair the response to physical treatment, Dr. Godbole's team provides referral to qualified psychosexual counsellors who work privately in Central London. The combination of medical and psychological treatment produces better sustained outcomes than either alone, and the referral is coordinated by the same team managing your medical ED treatment.
