In this brief segment, Dr. Anne Truong explains that there is no formal medical board certification titled "ED specialist"; clinicians who use that label may come from a variety of specialties. She contrasts this with urologists, who are a defined specialty. Dr. Truong then describes her own credentials as a board‑certified physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physician with training in pain management and orthopedics. She emphasizes a comprehensive, whole‑body approach to erectile dysfunction that evaluates nerves, muscles, hormones, and overall function for pain relief, rehabilitation, and functional improvement.

Evaluating the nerve and the muscle and the whole complete body and hormones as a complete unit for treatment for pain, but for rehabilitation and for function.
