- Private Beverly Hills practice
- LGBTQ+ affirming
Inclusive by design
Trust changes the quality of the conversation.
Good primary care depends on accurate information and honest discussion. That becomes harder when a patient expects judgment, assumptions or the need to educate the clinician before addressing the reason for the visit.
Dr. Eric Ingulsrud provides LGBTQ+ affirming primary care in Beverly Hills with an emphasis on privacy, continuity and evidence-based medicine. Care is individualized around health history, anatomy, medications, relationships, prevention needs and personal goals. Patients are not reduced to identity, and identity is not ignored when it is relevant to health.
Individualized care
Whole-person care in one physician relationship.
Primary care, prevention and sexual health can be discussed together, with referrals or specialist collaboration arranged when appropriate.
Ongoing primary care
Routine and chronic health concerns managed with continuity, clear explanations and thoughtful follow-through.
Individualized prevention
Screening and vaccination recommendations shaped by history, anatomy, exposures, prior results and current evidence.
Sexual health
Confidential HIV and STI testing, PrEP evaluation, prevention planning, treatment coordination and ongoing monitoring.
Medication review
Prescriptions, supplements, potential interactions and monitoring needs considered within the full health picture.
Mental wellbeing
Space to discuss mood, stress, sleep, substance use and other concerns, with treatment or referral guidance when appropriate.
Specialty coordination
Outside recommendations connected back to primary care so the broader plan remains organized and understandable.
A considered approach
Affirming care is clinically attentive care.
Respectful language matters, but affirming medicine goes further. It means asking relevant questions without assumptions, selecting screening thoughtfully, protecting privacy and building enough continuity for the patient to be known as a whole person.
