Why Mike Drives 90 Miles to See Dr. Justin Houman for Prostate Care and Says It’s Worth Every Minute

Mike-Patient-Story

As men age, their healthcare needs evolve, particularly in urological and sexual health. Navigating these changes can feel daunting, but having trusted, expert care makes all the difference. At Tower Urology, men find more than just medical attention—they find a team that truly understands the physical, emotional, and personal complexities of men’s health.

For over five decades, Tower Urology has been a cornerstone of men’s health in Los Angeles and beyond. The practice manages a thriving patient population of over 40,000 individuals and welcomes approximately 4,000 new patients annually. Many of those patients span generations, with fathers, sons, and grandfathers all placing their trust in the same group of specialists. With 11 highly trained urologists, Tower Urology provides personalized, comprehensive care based on the latest research and technologies.

One of those patients is Mike, a 75-year-old retired accountant from Glendora. Every few months, Mike makes the 1.5-hour drive into the city to see Dr. Justin Houman. “You don’t drive that far to see someone mediocre,” he says with a smile. “Dr. Houman is the real deal.”

Mike’s health journey is deeply personal. Prostate issues run in his family—his father and older brother both faced significant challenges—so Mike doesn’t take any chances. For the past three years, he’s relied on Dr. Houman to monitor his prostate and watch for signs of trouble closely. “Cancer also runs in my family,” Mike explains. “So, I come in every four months. So far, we’ve caught nothing major—but I’m not taking anything for granted.”

Is there a cure for sexual dysfunction?

Like many older men, Mike has faced occasional erectile dysfunction. But instead of ignoring it or letting it erode his quality of life, he’s taken steps to address the issue. “I’m not as active as I was at 50,” he says, “but I’m still in a relationship. It’s important to me.”

Dr. Houman treats Mike with periodic testosterone injections to help boost his energy, libido, and overall well-being. The effects make a tangible difference, especially on the golf course. “Now that I’m retired, I spend more time at Rancho Mirage golfing with friends,” Mike says. “I worked hard all my life. Now I want to play hard.”

He also appreciates Dr. Houman’s cautious, holistic approach. “He never treats one thing at the expense of another,” Mike says. “He checks to make sure we’re not causing problems elsewhere. That kind of thoughtful care means everything to me.”

And then there’s the human connection. “He’s just easy to talk to. There’s no judgment, no awkwardness. I feel like I can bring up anything, and he’ll take it seriously and explain it in a way I can understand.”

The best care—close to the best doctors 

Mike’s trust in Dr. Houman and Tower Urology is matched by his appreciation for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where Tower’s doctors hold privileges. Having undergone back surgery at Cedars in the past, Mike knows firsthand the caliber of care provided. “If I ever need a procedure, I’d rather have it at Cedars than at a hospital near my home,” he says. “The peace of mind is priceless.”

He especially values Dr. Houman’s clarity and patience when discussing complex health topics. “He breaks everything down. There’s no confusion or pressure,” Mike says. “He helps me weigh the options so I can make the right decision for me. I feel confident in his hands.”
