Dr. Bagambhrini Gerace Thompkins

I was born and raised in a small town in south-eastern Iowa, Fairfield, within the Transcendental Meditation Movement which is founded on principles of the Vedic literature including the ancient system of wellness known as Ayurveda. As a teen I moved with my family to Tucson and graduated from Tucson High Magnet school. I worked at Nadine’s Kosher Bakery and spent Saturdays nights at the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I am grateful in my life God continues to expand my perspective and understanding of the spiritual nature of my purpose which is to care for and serve others. I understand that I, like my patients, am a tri-part being – physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual – and that I must be attentive and aware of all of these components of myself to be well. I believe my job here is not to make judgements or impose my own opinions about the path my patient’s take, but to hold space for them and to provide encouragement and tools to help allow them to reach their own goals regarding well-being. I see children and adults of all ages, from newborn to geriatrics and everything in between. I am happy to incorporate eastern perspectives and integrative therapies into patient’s care plans if they are interested in that approach. I enjoy providing mental health care including substance abuse, medication assisted treatment, and gender affirming care. I’m interested in providing care for patients with different abilities and communication styles including American Sign Language. I perform most office procedures including joint injection; nail removal; circumcision; family planning including Vasectomy, IUD and Nexplanon; reproductive health including prenatal care and GYN procedures including PAP smears, colposcopy, endometrial biopsy, and Bartholin cyst management; laceration care and first aid; dermatologic procedures including lesion removal and skin biopsy; treatment for individuals with HIV and Hepatitis C.
