Dr. Emelia “Mimi” Arquilla practices in the Department of Family Medicine at UI Health. Dr. Arquilla provides primary care to patients of all ages. They have special interests in LGBTQ+ inclusive healthcare, gender-affirming care, addiction medicine, family planning, chronic disease management, and preventative medicine. In their spare time, they can be found tending to their houseplants, trying new recipes, and working to reduce inequality for marginalized populations.
They work at a FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Center), which sees patients regardless of their insurance status, immigration status, or ability to pay. It has a sliding scale model for on site office visits, labs, and medications.
Their clinic is also associated with University of Illinois Hospital (UIHealth), which is also able to provide full spectrum gender affirming surgeries to those with medicaid and private insurance.

I recently moved to Chicago and surveyed a few different hospitals and their trans-focused healthcare. I came across Dr. Arquilla’s profile on this website and decided to pursue care with them. I cannot speak highly enough. They are immensely knowledgeable, not only about the care they provide, but also the general landscape of navigating trans healthcare. I have had bad experiences before, and Dr. Arquilla is always caring and compassionate. They are willing to go to bat for their patients and make specific considerations for their trans patients whether it be specific appointment times blocked off or connecting patients to other trans affirming doctors for other services beyond primary care. I’ve met with a couple other specialists who have commented how lucky I am to have them as my PCP.
Dr. Arquilla is a smart, patient, thorough and compassionate doctor. I also love that they are a queer health care provider because it makes me much more comfortable sharing personal information with them. I would recommend Dr. Arquilla to any friend.
