Her bedside manner is phenomenal, and she's just an awesome person in general. It's just a second entity that she happens to be a doctor. She cares about my diagnosis. She talks to me thoroughly. She explains. She really is a great, great doctor. I drive to Douglasville because of Dr. Maris. Otherwise, I would find another doctor on my side of town.

Dr. Maris is one of the greatest doctors I've ever had to see. I've been with her now going on three years, and I trust her just undoubtedly. She is very concerned. Her bedside manner is phenomenal, and she's just an awesome person in general. It's just a second entity that she happens to be a doctor. She cares about my diagnosis. She talks to me thoroughly. She explains. She really is a great, great doctor. I drive to Douglasville because of Dr. Maris. Otherwise, I would find another doctor on my side of town. But I just can't tend to let go of a doctor like Dr. Maris because she's the first that I've ever had that was so good.

As a trans person, it really, really means a lot to me how intentionally and how hard working my care team takes care of me, looks after me, and cares about my well-being. I felt safe for the very first time in the doctor's office, and that means a lot to me. The care team did a great job of making sure that I felt safe and welcome and cared for.

Honestly one of the best medical office experiences I have had in my 30 years. The team was nice compassionate and friendly. They listened and truly seemed like they wanted to be involved in the care of my son. We decided we were swapping PCPs to Dr. Maris today and I think it will be an amazing change in our sons care.

LGBTQ Care: Inclusive Healthcare for Everyone

With dedicated health resources and caring, compassionate providers, Wellstar is making primary care more accessible to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+).

Historically, many healthcare systems have not focused on the specific needs of the LGBTQ community. 

“The LGBTQ community has been marginalized by the healthcare system,” Wellstar Primary Care Physician Dr. Gabriella Maris said. “There is a lack of providers who have adequate training to understand and treat their unique health risks.”

Wellstar believes every person should have access to safe, high-quality healthcare. At each of our primary care locations, we maintain a welcoming, non-judgmental environment to treat patients. Across Wellstar, we’re committed to providing inclusive medical services in a safe, comfortable space to make LGBTQ care more available.

Dedicated health experts for the LGBTQ community

Members of the LGBTQ community may be at a higher risk for certain medical issues.

For example, lesbian and bisexual women may be at increased risk for breast, cervical and ovarian cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. The American Psychiatric Association also shared that LGBTQ people are more likely to experience mental health concerns and use mental health services.

Treating these health concerns starts with trained providers who take a caring, compassionate approach to help patients stay healthy.

Wellstar provides primary care for the LGBTQ community, including wellness exams, chronic disease management, virtual appointments and other health screenings. We also offer special services for people who identify as LGBTQ including:

  • Family planning and birth control
  • Prenatal and OB/GYN care
  • Pap smears for men and women
  • Colposcopy and anoscopy
  • Hormone therapy
  • PrEP and nPEP treatment for HIV prevention
  • Pediatric care

Gender-affirming care

Gender-affirming care is medical treatment that supports a patient’s gender identity when their identity differs from their sex assigned at birth. 

“Gender-affirming care has the ability to save lives,” said Wellstar Primary Care Physician Dr. Danielle Ortega. “We know that a large percentage of transgender individuals, even starting in adolescence, have either suicidal intent or attempts in the past, and we know that gender-affirming care, when appropriate, improves mental health and prevents suicide.”

Active partners in your care

Wellstar physicians provide great care to patients and our health experts are dedicated to being a true partner in your wellness journey.

“I want for patients to know that Wellstar is their medical home—for them to feel comfortable when they walk in our door and for them to know that this is going to be a clinic that is not judgmental, is truly empathic and is here to help them in whatever way we can,” Dr. Maris said. 

Our primary care team puts patients at the center of their care, presenting them with all their options and working with them to decide how to accomplish their goals.

“I get to know patients and understand what their goals are, what their hopes are, who their supports are, what their job entails, what their community is like and, specifically, what their goals are in relation to their health,” Dr. Ortega said.
