A young man smiles brightly outdoors, wearing a blue beanie, headphones, and a colorful red and teal shirt over a white T-shirt that reads "I ❤️ PHOENIX." He has a yellow backpack strap on his shoulder, with a sunny sky and an urban bridge structure in the background, capturing a vibrant and cheerful vibe.

what patients are saying about spectrum medical

  • McKynzie B.

    “ The staff was so friendly, accommodating, and very kind. It was my first time having an appointment there and I was very well cared for. ”
    – McKynzie B.

  • Daniel R.

    “ The best queer general practice medical provider I’ve been to. They are always caring and candid which I appreciate and I have been seeing them for about 6 years. They’ve gone through tech and organizational changes, sure, but that hasn’t stopped them from their primary focus and knowledge regarding queer issues— far more than I can say from non-queer practices. ”
    – Daniel R.

  • Sam H.

    “ As a trans patient, I can say they have always been respectful and sensitive of me and my needs. All the staff has always been very sweet and friendly, super helpful. ”
    – Sam H.

  • Stephen H.

    “ I feel my experience at Spectrum has been a great journey of info sharing, caring & an absolute respect for me as a patient ”
    – Stephen H.

  • Crispino R.

    “ My follow up appointment to see Dr. Thanes Vanig went smoothly. Dr. Thanes Vanig saw me in less than 5 minutes after I was seated in the exam room. My laboratory results were reviewed with me. I was glad to hear from Dr. Vanig that I need a bivalent Covid vaccine booster. The Spectrum Medical staff are efficient in doing their work. Complimentary Condoms are available at the main lobby of Spectrum Medical. ”
