Ron Foote’s story in full
Ron Foote still remembers the exact moment he knew something was wrong. He woke up one morning with no morning wood — and that was the day everything changed for the 52-year-old from Southern California.
The problem: five years without a solution
Ron had been living with erectile dysfunction for five long years. Despite the significant toll it took on his confidence and quality of life, he struggled to find the motivation to seek help — until he fell in love. It was his new relationship that finally motivated him to take action and search for the best ED specialist he could find.
That search led him to Dr. Vigor®. Ron was immediately drawn to the clinic because of its dual specialization in both erectile dysfunction and testosterone deficiency, two conditions that often intersect.
After a thorough evaluation that included bloodwork, Ron’s total testosterone came back at 703 ng/dL — healthy for a man his age, the specialists confirmed. That ruled out low testosterone as the underlying cause, and the team turned their attention to a more targeted solution.
The first treatment: the Vigor Shot™ using Hyper PRP™
Based on Ron’s results, the specialists at Dr. Vigor recommended the Vigor Shot™ — a treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to restore erectile function naturally.
Ron is candid about his initial reaction: getting injections into your penis just sounds horrific. But he is equally candid about what the experience was actually like — and it was not what he feared.
Two things make the Vigor Shot surprisingly painless. First, a specially formulated numbing cream is applied 20 minutes before the procedure begins, giving it ample time to take full effect. Second, the injections are administered with an ultra-thin needle that is barely perceptible.
The process works like this: a specialist collects a few vials of blood from the arm, which is then processed by a centrifuge that isolates the Hyper PRP™ — a concentrated blend of growth factors drawn from the patient’s own biology. By the time the Hyper PRP is ready, the numbing cream has done its job. The injections are then delivered in two sets — half on the left side, half on the right — for even, thorough coverage.
Just one week after his first procedure, Ron got an erection — the first he had experienced in five years. Over the following weeks, his erections continued to grow harder and stronger, and he immediately wanted to build on that progress with a second treatment.
The second treatment: the Firm Wave® series
When Ron called Dr. Vigor to schedule his second Vigor Shot, the specialists recommended pairing it with Firm Wave® — and he was glad they did.
Firm Wave is a series of six procedures performed approximately one week apart. Each session delivers more than 1,000 acoustic waves to the penis. Ron says the waves feel like tiny pulses that are virtually painless. The energy from these waves stimulates the body’s natural healing processes and promotes the formation of new blood vessels. Those new vessels increase blood flow to the penis, which translates directly into harder, more reliable erections.
The combined results
After completing the full series of treatments, Ron’s stamina had increased dramatically alongside everything else. As he puts it, his concerns have shifted entirely — these days he is more worried about breaking the bed frame than he is about his erections.
At 52, Ron is now having some of the most gratifying and intense sex of his life — and feels as vigorous as he did three decades ago. It is what he calls “the wonders of modern medicine.”
