Because we’re primary care physicians who specialize in HIV you get the best of both worlds–doctors you can see for non-HIV related issues AND specialists who have experience treating people at all stages of the disease. All of our providers are HIV Specialists credentialed by the American Academy of HIV Medicine (AAHIVM).
We understand the complex nature of HIV, stay on top of the new drugs coming online, and because we’ve treated thousands of HIV+ men, we’ve dealt with almost every conceivable aspect of the virus. You will be in great hands.
