Open since February 2001, the Doctors of USC-Downtown was designed to meet the growing needs of people living or working in downtown Los Angeles.
In addition, USC relocated its Faculty/Staff Health Center to this location, expanding these services to faculty, staff and their dependents, as well as university retirees.
Minor Anderson, president and CEO of The Doctors of USC, said, “Changing the name of the clinic to The Doctors of USC–Downtown helps us to better establish The Doctors of USC brand in the downtown Los Angeles community. The new name says who we are and better describes the services offered at the clinic.”
Located in the heart of the downtown area, the Doctors of USC–Downtown offers general and specialty medical care from the University of Southern California’s faculty physicians. The center offers easy access to healthcare services including internal medicine, women’s health, including gynecology and mammography, and cosmetic and therapeutic dermatology. There is also an Executive Health Program with highly personalized disease detection and prevention exams.
New services have been added recently to The Doctors of USC–Downtown, including acupuncture services to treat stress, jet lag, menopausal symptoms, headaches and back pain. An endocrinologist also has joined The Doctors of USC-Downtown staff, offering services for patients with diabetes, thyroid and pituitary diseases.
The Doctors of USC–Downtown is located in the Bank of America Plaza at 333 South Hope Street, Suite C-145, Los Angeles, CA 90071. USC trams provide transportation from both the University Park and Health Sciences campuses. Call (213) 437-1000 for information or an appointment.
