Growing up, I was lucky enough to have a Black pediatrician, and when I reached adulthood and couldn’t find a Black physician, I didn’t think too much of it. It wasn’t until I started my Masters degree in Public Health a few years back that I realized how detrimental it is to Black people in America to deal with physicians who aren’t Black. When you sift through the data and see that no matter a patient’s education, wealth or socioeconomic status, Black people face poorer health outcomes, you can’t help but wonder how much our lived experience here in America is blame.

There is a growing body of research that connects racism to a number of health disparities in the Black community. One thing that stands out is that provider bias accounts for a significant portion of incompetent care. I can attest to this from my experience with the OB/GYN who provided maternal care and delivered my son. In short, I was rushed, ignored, and induced into early labor. Having now switched to an OB/GYN who is Black, I know for certain that my gut feelings about my experience were spot on.

In my search for Black practitioners for the whole family, I started making a list of the names so I could reference them later on, especially if my insurance were to change and I wouldn’t be covered under my current physician. I figured I couldn’t be the only one looking for this information, so I compiled the list below.

***Many times, doctors change locations, so contact info will be added soon! In the meantime, simply copy paste the name in Google for their current location and contact information. And please comment below or email me at fmnv.co@gmail.com with more names to add to the list.
