In the Press | OSRA Medical

Dr. Nas founded OSRA Medical in 2019 to take back his relationship with his patients, and to free his practice of back-end affiliations with payers and large corporations.

His dream of being a doctor who represents the LGBTQ+ community and being truly available to meet the individual, complex needs of his patients was not possible in a traditional practice setting.

OSRA Medical adds a very important channel to seek medical care. This channel is completely isolated from the larger system in many ways and provides a truly confidential setting where patients can have their medical needs addressed in a fear-free environment.

“I believe everyone deserves to be seen and treated with respect.”

“I believe everyone deserves access to mental health care and treatment without fearing retaliation from their employers or any professional organization.”

“I believe everyone should have access to sexual health care without feeling judged or marginalized.”

“I believe each person’s needs are different and the way they receive care needs to be individualized.”
