what patients are saying about spectrum medical

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. ”– Crispino R. -
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. -
