A Doctor with a Passion for Inclusive Healthcare

Spectrum Medical was founded in 1997 by Dr. Thanes Vanig, our Chief Medical Officer, who saw firsthand the urgent need for specialized HIV care and a welcoming, inclusive environment for all individuals. Driven by a deep passion for addressing healthcare disparities, Dr. Vanig established Spectrum Medical to offer expert care tailored to the unique needs of our community. His unwavering commitment to compassionate, inclusive healthcare has laid the foundation for our organization, shaping the values and principles we continue to uphold today.

Spectrum Medical joined the City of Phoenix Fast-Track Cities Initiative in 2016, a global effort to eliminate new HIV cases by 2030. Through this initiative, we provide comprehensive treatment and support for people living with HIV and work to prevent new infections through education and services like PrEP and PEP.

    “ 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. ”

  • 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. ”
