Preparing for the intake
Your first appointment at REVIVO is a personal consultation of 45 minutes with the specialist. We reserve 90 minutes, so you can move straight into your first session if you and the specialist agree. Here is what to expect.
What the intake involves
The intake is a full personal consultation of 45 minutes with an experienced ESWT specialist. We carefully assess your situation and determine together what the best approach is.
The conversation
We start with your story. What are you experiencing, since when, what have you already tried? The specialist asks about your medical history, medication use, lifestyle, and risk factors. Open and without judgement.
Validated questionnaires
We use the IIEF-EF, EHS, and SEP-2/3 questionnaires. These are internationally recognised measurement instruments that objectively assess the severity of your symptoms. We use the same questionnaires later to measure whether the treatment is having an effect.
Screening
The specialist performs a cardiovascular screening (Princeton III criteria). When indicated, additional blood testing may be ordered: testosterone, thyroid function, metabolic markers. On indication, a penile colour Doppler ultrasound follows.
Your personal treatment plan
Together with the specialist, you discuss which approach best suits your situation. You receive a written pathway recommendation with the advised programme, costs, and expectations. Clear and straightforward, so you can make a well-informed decision.
Start straight after the intake
We deliberately reserve 90 minutes for your appointment. After the consultation, if you and the specialist agree, you move straight into your first session. No second appointment needed.

Our approach is always honest. The specialist only recommends what makes sense for your situation. You decide when and how to proceed.
