At River Bend Medical Associates, we are a diverse team of professionals who understand the importance of dignity, respect, and creating a safe environment where you feel comfortable, encouraged, and valued.
We are committed to providing LGBTQIA-friendly healthcare services to our patients in the Sacramento area.
Our team of experienced doctors, PAs, NPs, and support staff is trained to provide culturally competent care and respect the diverse experiences and needs of our LGBTQIA+ patients and their families.
LGB/TGNB Healthcare
We understand that many members of the LGB/TGNB community have faced unique challenges when it comes to accessing healthcare, and we strive to create a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment for all our patients.
While LGBTQIA+ healthcare cannot be defined by any specific medical needs, our physicians understand the unique health concerns and impediments members of this community frequently face. We know that many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and nonbinary people have had bad health care experiences. We believe healthcare should be affirming, inclusive, and accessible for all. Our family medical practice makes getting expert primary care services fast and easy.
At River Bend Medical Associates, we offer a full range of healthcare services, including primary care, gender-affirming care, and HIV care and prevention to help meet the unique needs of our LGB/TGNB patients.
LGBTQIA+ Health Services
Primary care includes health services that covers prevention, wellness, injury or disease treatment, and chronic condition management. Your primary care physician is often your first point of contact for both preventative and specialized care.
Having a Primary Care Physician is an important part of managing your health. At River Bend Medical Associates, we work to provide access to high-quality healthcare, while making every patient, regardless of gender or who they love, feel safe, seen, heard, and cared for.
We know that primary care for a member of the LGBTQIA+ community can include more than flu shots and blood pressure checks. From annual exams to treatment for common illnesses, PrEP to hormone therapy, HIV care to STI testing, we are here for you!
As your primary care provider, we provide expert primary care services, including those that address your unique health concerns.
Here are some additional care services we can help with:
- PrEP provider
- HIV testing
- Gender-Affirming Care
- Cancer screenings
- Vaccinations
- LGBTQIA+ friendly family planning & reproductive health
- Preventative care, including risk-reduction education
- Sexual health, including STI testing and treatment
- Referrals for gender-affirming surgical care
While all our providers are qualified to provide quality unbiased care, certain providers have special training and experience managing gender-affirming care. This means that, in addition to making sure you feel safe and understood, these providers have specialized expertise in hormone management, surgical referrals, and interpreting lab results. When making your first appointment, feel free to request a provider with a special interest in gender-affirming care.
Our culturally diverse team of doctors, physicians’ assistants, nurse practitioners, and support staff are committed to providing ALL members of our community with compassionate and judgment-free care, so you can rest assured that whoever you see will treat you with respect, compassion, courtesy, and professionalism.
At River Bend Medical Associates, we believe that fostering open communication and building strong relationships with our patients is key to providing high-quality healthcare.
We want all our patients, including our LGBTQIA+ patients, to know that they will not be judged here and that they should feel safe and comfortable discussing any concerns they have with their doctor.
We are here to help you feel your best both physically and emotionally.
