About This Location
Perlman Clinic in Hillcrest is a boutique primary and urgent care practice that serves San Diego's LGBTQ+ community and allies with a focus on affirming, personalized, and patient-centered care. Unlike the high-volume walk-in model of most urgent care chains, Perlman Clinic operates with the intimacy and continuity of a concierge-style practice, where patients develop ongoing relationships with their providers. Located on the heart of Fifth Avenue in Hillcrest, the clinic provides sexual health services, PrEP for HIV prevention, STI testing and treatment, and general urgent care for a community that has historically faced barriers to respectful healthcare. Services include lab tests, STI and STD testing, flu and COVID testing, and treatment for acute illnesses. Walk-in and same-day appointments available.
About Hillcrest

The neighborhood is one of San Diego's most walkable and eclectic, with independent restaurants, vintage boutiques, and community-oriented businesses along University Avenue and Fifth Avenue. Hillcrest borders Balboa Park — San Diego's crown jewel green space — and is served by multiple bus lines.
