Finding a primary care doctor isn’t just about choosing someone with the right credentials or the nearest location. It’s about finding a provider who sees you, understands your experiences, and communicates in a way that feels comfortable and trustworthy. For many in the Black community, that can mean seeking out a Black doctor or provider — someone who may share or deeply understand cultural and life experiences that shape your health journey.
Representation in medicine matters. Patients often feel more understood, more respected, and more confident in their care when treated by providers who understand their cultural background. But skin color alone isn’t enough — a doctor’s personality, approach to care, and communication style all play a role. That’s why this list is long. It gives you options to explore, to see who clicks with your style, your needs, and your health goals.
Below, I’ve organized a growing list of amazing Black primary care doctors and nurse practitioners by city, with East/West/Central notes to help you find someone near you.

Why This List Matters
This isn’t just a directory, it’s a tool to help you find the right fit. Every patient is different, and every doctor is different. Some will click instantly, others may not, and that’s okay. What’s most important is having options so you can explore, connect, and find a provider who meets your needs and makes you feel comfortable and supported.
Representation in medicine is powerful. Choosing a Black healthcare provider can help build trust, improve communication, and enhance overall satisfaction with care. But more than that, this list is about choice — giving you the ability to explore who works for your personality, preferences, and lifestyle.
Take your time, make calls, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to find someone who truly aligns with your healthcare journey. Your health deserves a provider who not only understands the medical side but also understands you.
