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.

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.read more

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! read more

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.read more

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 😢read more

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.read more

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.read more

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.read more

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.read more

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.read more

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!read more

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 💟💕read more

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.read more
