I’ve had an excellent experience working with menMD, and I want to give a special shout-out to Tonya Schorn, my Account Manager. Tonya has been incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping whenever an issue arises. She always goes the extra mile to make things right, even when challenges are outside of her control. It’s rare to find support staff who are this dedicated and consistently kind. Thank you, Tonya, for your outstanding service—your hard work does not go unnoticed!

We have been working with Tonya Schorn at MenMD for a few years now! She has been the best rep we have worked with to date. She is very responsive. Like instant response! Which in a clinic is very important as patients need their questions answered promptly. She has helped us navigate ordering, tracking, replacing meds etc very efficiently. She has worked with us diligently to give us fair pricing. Honestly if MenMD could make ALL the meds, we would never look at any other pharmacies ever again for sourcing. I highly recommend Tonya Schorn from MenMD to work with!!!!
