Our Practice & Core Values
SPEKTRUM Health is dedicated to serving the medical and mental health needs of the LGBTQ+ community of Central Florida and our non-LGBTQ+ allies.
Our primary medical provider is a Nurse Practitioner (NP). What does this mean for you as a patient? NPs can diagnose medical conditions, order and interpret diagnostics testing and laboratory values, develop treatment plans, prescribe all medications, and determine successful goals and outcomes. NPs function very similar to what “medical doctors” do, but they are trained how to address health problems and promote wellness using the nursing model.
Putting CARE back in Health.
Our providers are available to address all of your needs!

Very kind, supportive, empathetic staff. If you are lgbt and in need of care this place is certainly a wonderful safe place. All the staff listen to your needs intently and understand the complicated experience of being queer. They work well with schedules and are flexible with planning according to your needs. The front desk is very friendly, and the therapists, nurses and doctors are very informative and understanding. I highly recommend the experience here.

Amazing staff from scheduling to care. So hard to find a primary care physician that is not part of a huge conglomerate of Orlando health these days. My long time PCP was not part of Orlando health but then his office got bought by or merged with however you want to look at it and sadly not his particular care but just communication getting a hold of everything became non-existent unless it was done through an app it took forever to get appointments. I decided to start looking for a new primary care and I could not be happier with Spektrum. Do you have the option to call or do you scheduling online. It doesn't take forever to get a hold of somebody. Your concern to address is quickly as possible. The office when you get there everybody is extremely nice everything is prompt and very much tailored to what you need. Very happy that I decided to make this change. I highly recommend if you are looking for a new PCP especially for one that is not part of Orlando health that you check out spektrum. if it says they are accepting new patients I got in within a week. most pcp accepting new patients still you have to wait three months or more which is absurd when they say they're accepting patient I would hope to get an appointment within a month and I was scheduled in very quickly. not sure about all insurance but I have Florida Blue, had no issues with my insurance either.
They offer a range of care again I went for a new primary care so I don't know how insurance will go with other care today offer for how quickly they can get you in but as far as primary care I got in quickly and no issues with my insurance. I can't speak on service 100% on anything else other than primary care but I'm quite confident that regardless of what you would choose to go there for you going to be treated with respect and as a person not just a number and your care Tailored to your exact needs. I also want to stress that if you are simply looking for a primary care this place is an excellent choice you don't have to be going there for any other type of care to choose them as a primary care they are very welcoming to all types of people I have not been to a doctor's officer in years as friendly and prompt. They have virtual and in person appointments. Pretty sure you're first appointment has to be in office in order to get virtual appointments in the future I think that's the most important for insurance reasons. But they really do go out of their way to be there for you anyway they can as they can . I highly recommend again especially if you're just looking for a new primary Care in general this place is amazing.

I 100% recommend any queer or transgender individuals to work with SPEKTRUM Health! The people who work here are very cool and so nice; they even allow emotional support pets! I have never felt safer 💖 Thank you SPEKTRUM Health for making me feel comfortable in my body.

MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT!! I Definitely recommend going through spektrum health! I’m a transman from Illinois & have been down here in Orlando for about 4 years. I’m glad I found somewhere safe for me to go, I have been blessed to come across these wonderful people! AJA was the best it’s very hard to come by people like her, her personality brings a lot of joy and you can tell she’s doing this to help people this isn’t just a job for her! She loves what she’s doing and that’s what we need. AJA helped me work through any questions or concerns I had and helped calmed me down cause I get nervous when I’m overly happy lol, The front desk and Jason was very friendly it was very easy to check in and get everything together. Jason also helped me out with a couple chest binders!. Again I highly recommend and I’m blessed to have a great team during this journey .

Spektrum Health makes accessing care stress-free, and possible!!!
I called to become a new patient in March, which entailed submitting relevant identification and insurance on their patient portal.
From then, I had a screening appointment with Michael, who went the extra mile to make sure I was able to receive my letter, day of.
I was then scheduled for bloodwork with Wendy (I didn’t feel any of it, they’re great) and a conversation with Denise, NP, on GAT. It was really interesting, and I came out with a clear understanding of how my care would work once on hormones.
The receptionists are also so helpful and actually care about helping you make it to appointments. I had to call pretty frequently, and always received excellent service.
Day of getting my prescription, again, seamless.
I filled out my paperwork, chilled in the lobby (which is a really calm space), and waited to be seen.
It took about a month, but it goes by fast.
Aja walked me through the process of how to administer the medication—After which, I felt way more confident about my ability to do it on my own and just all around informed on the best procedure to keep myself safe
Many thanks to the staff at Spektrum, the work you all do to serve the Orlando area is truly amazing

From the very moment I walked in, I felt at ease. Aja, the medical assistant, has such a warm and genuine presence she made me feel truly welcomed and cared for. The energy in the office is vibrant and comforting, like a safe space. Dr. Jason is soft-spoken, deeply knowledgeable, and radiates a calm, reassuring kindness. I honestly can’t thank them enough for the compassion and care they’ve shown me 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Finding this location has been such a blessing, the staff are welcoming and caring and the service provided is impeccable. When looking for healthcare providers LGBT safe spaces have always been important to me, coming from California this is one of the only places that I’ve felt comfortable in my own skin. Highly recommend

Great people, great care. Would love if they had more options for low income people or people without insurance, or at least were more forward with expected costs for people paying out of pocket. Found out my follow-up would be $85 today, or $50 if I cancel. 😭 I appreciate the service you're providing to the community but I'm broke lol
If your insurance covers it or if you can afford self-pay they're great tho.

I changed to Spektrum at the recommendation of a friend after I told them about my previous doctor and lack of bedside manner. I am extremely grateful to have taken the recommendation and I highly recommend Spektrum to you! There's definitely a personal touch here. I've never felt rushed through a visit, have been encouraged to ask as many questions as I'd like, and have really appreciated how Denise and the staff have followed up and looked out for me.

I saw Nurse Practitioner Jason Anderson today and I have truly never had a better experience in a doctors office. He was very kind, very knowledgeable, and gave clear explanations of everything i could possibly need to know! He also drew my blood himself and helped me stay calm. I have also spoken with Emma and Lily several times and they have been extremely kind and helpful! The office space and the staff are so welcoming and supportive. I will be seeing them for everything I need from now on. Thank you so much to everyone at SPEKTRUM Health for all that you do!

SPEKTRUM health is my safe place. Denise and Michelle make me feel so good about my transition and my self in general. Been going here for over two years seeing Denise and I just love it.

From setting up the appointments over the phone, to entering for the first time, to the front desk and beyond it’s been a wonderful experience with kind individuals.
Michael was very informative, knowledgeable, funny and kind! I was nervous coming in, but felt relaxed throughout more conversation and the energy she brings. Thank you!
I feel blessed to have found this place- A big thank you to the team at Spektrum Health for all you do.
also they have mascots 🥹 SO GLAD I GOT TO MEET CHANCE THE DOGGY. what more could you ask for?!

Until I went to Spektrum, I never had a healthcare provider where I was truly seen, heard, or cared for. After my first visit, I had to take a moment to cry in the car because of how relieved and blessed I felt to finally find such wonderful people. I cannot recommend them enough. No matter your orientation, identity, or situation, they will welcome you.

This is the most AMAZING practice my family and I have ever been to. Every member of the staff are the most patient, caring and attentive people I’ve ever met. The front desk staff is incredible, the nurses are incredible, the nurse practitioners are incredible and I will never bring my children anywhere else. Thank you guys for taking such amazing car of my family! If you are looking for LGBTQIA+ competent health care, you must come here! You will not find a better office!

I’ve been going to Spektrum for almost two years now and I have felt nothing but loved, supported, and taken care of the entire time I’ve been a patient with them! They’re extremely accommodating to your schedule and every single one one of the staff are kind and compassionate individuals who do nothing but strive to make your experience a positive one! I’m so thankful to be apart of the Spektrum family and I can’t imagine being a patient anywhere else!

By far the best medical care I’ve ever received in my life, even for regular checkups. I feel so so safe here, so cared for, so seen and heard, from the front desk all the way through to the doctors office. Their entire office is also very clean (like new), colorful, and inviting. There are a lot of informative posters hanging in the rooms as well, which is nice while you’re waiting to be seen.

Dr Denise is absolutely wonderf. Me and my husband drive from over an hour away just to come to this Dr office. Every one of them are welcoming comforting and they make you feel like family. I have had them for over a year and they are the best Dr office I have ever been to. People in the Lgbt family definitely don't have to worry about your comfort levels here. These people are amazing.

SPEKTRUM Health is an oasis for those who need help and I'm extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to receive that help. Everyone is so nice and the place has a warm, inviting feel to it... It's like a second family or a group of close-knit friends! I also wish to give my heartfelt thanks to Ann: She helped me during a hard time in my life and through her counseling, life has been a much brighter place. Thanks to everyone at SPEKTRUM Health for all the good vibes and better health!

I found them by accident. The staff are well trained and they will take care of you like you are their family members.
About my doctor, i am naturally getting sick constantly as a result, I have been going to hospital and doctors offices more than once a month.. what being said,, I really sensed my doctor has healer spiritual and mental health care experiences.
And the most important thing is you don't need to wait. Who wants to wait when you don't feel well right ? Lol well,I didn't have to wait a very long time like any other doctors offices even though I already scheduled an appointment. 😉
I will miss this place when I deploy again 😢

I can't say enough good things about Spektrum Health. They literally probably saved my life this year. They make you feel immediately like family. It doesn't matter why or how often you need them, they are there for you! I have used Spektrum for mental health counselling, PCP, and Trans services. Everyone who works there genuinely cares and are 100 percent knowledgeable and professional. So glad they are expanding. I wish Spektrum all the best, ALL healthcare providers should be like Spektrum.

When my wife came out as mtf I went with her to her first therapy appointment at Spektrum. We were both so impressed that now we both see Ann for therapy and Kim for medical needs and we wouldn't go anywhere else. If we ever move out of Central Florida we will absolutely stay patients remotely.
Every single person there genuinely wants nothing more than to help people be happy. Your pronouns will be embraced and you will be surrounded by people who will help you be your best self no matter what your concerns are. You can tell that this is not just a job for any of them. It really shows how passionate they are about equality and protecting the LGBTQ+ community.

I absolutely LOVE this place and its staff! I had been searching for an office to help me with my transition and make me feel comfortable. The place is the most comforting doctors office I have ever been in. My wife and I both see Joey and he is just phenomenal. I never feel like I'm bothering him or his staff when I need things addressed and its amazing.

I cannot say anything but good words about Spektrum Health!! I’ve been to a lot of different doctors from general medical physicians to surgeons, and all of the offices are the same. Fill out the paperwork, sit down and wait to be called back. Then wait some more, up to an hour at times, until the doctor shows up. No one wants to deal with that.
This was certainly NOT the case with this medical office! Seeing nurse practitioners is by far better than seeing a physician. Both Joey & Kim are VERY knowledgeable, professional yet laid back and clearly passionate about helping the LGBTQA+ community. Lana, Megan and Wendy are the best “front of house” people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. They make those first moments into your visit, feel less of an appointment and more of an outing with friends so to speak. My anxiety was definitely less than normal thanks to them. I love that the entire staff is a wonderful representation of our community as well! It’s rare to find a medical office that treats you like a family member/friend.

I recently relocated back to Orlando from Atlanta and was looking to restart PrEP. I’m so thankful I found this office. Everyone greeted me with a smile (I could tell even wearing a mask) and sooo nice. My visit went really quick but informative. And they had a great program that made my medication affordable. Thank you to the entire staff and I’ll see you in 3 months.

Joey, Lana, Meghan, Wendy and everyone else who has worked with me have all been so kind and knowledgeable and helpful in ways that I never expected from a healthcare provider. This practice has demonstrated to me a level of competence and care that I've found to be unmatched by any other in my experience.
If you are looking for a healthcare provider who will take you seriously, listen to you, and work with (and for) you, then this is where you want to be.

Finding Spektrum health last year is probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me. It really has been life changing. My experience with Joey and the staff at Spektrum has been better than at any other health care provider I have gone to.
Spektrum is never the rush rush production line that most clinics are these days. The staff is super friendly and all of them take the time to listen and to make me feel like I matter.
Having the virtual telemedicine option available made it easy for me to keep my appointment during the pandemic too!

I have been looking for a medical that I can trust since I transitioning 4 years which it's been very challenging until I found Spektrum Team since I first reach them Lana helped met clearly understand their mission and services. I was so impressed by her professional and excellent customer service. The day of my appointment they welcome like a family member becoming part of their amazing family. Wendy made sure that knew all my medical history in order to provide an excellent experience. She's very knowledgeable, kind, and humble at this point of my visit I knew I made the right decision. After few minutes waiting Joe came in a made feel like her best friend and sister we talked for an hour about my medical history needs and concerns. In my personal life have never met a Doctor's who truly love what he does. I could see in his eyes the passion and willingness to understand my medical needs. He's professional, honest, knowledge but most important humble and kind. He truly love what he does. I could felt that will do anything to help to make medical journey better. If you find yourself in my position looking for a medical team that will clearly understand and make feel like a family give them a chance I promise you will love them as I do.
Thank you so much 💟💕

All my searching for help on my lqbtq medical needs stopped here at Spektrum Heatlh. I searched all over Florida for years to continue my hormone therapy, and there has never been a place that is more caring and understanding than here. The entire staff is lovely and they treat you like a real human rather than just a patient. It's real easy to feel safe and comfortable here, around people who truly understand your needs and are very respectful. Joey is a true blessing. He's very passionate about his and work and remains personable, professional, and respectful. He's really looking out for each of his patients and you can tell that he's doing something that he truly loves. I'm happy to say that I found a place where i know I'll be secure moving forward with Spektrum Health.
“I prefer my care on my terms, Joey has always given me direct and honest answers and empowered me to control my health”
“I am happy to see a new and fresh option in quality healthcare for Central Florida’s transgender community”
“Its nice to be treated like a person and receive care from someone who truly understands what my needs are”
