What to know about Black Pediatrics care

Black children are 4 times more likely to be hospitalized for asthma, twice as likely to die of SIDS, and significantly less likely to be adequately treated for pain in emergency rooms (AAP, 2024). A 2020 PNAS study found Black newborn mortality is cut roughly in half when cared for by Black physicians. Pediatricians see kids from birth through age 21 for well-child visits, immunizations, school physicals, behavioral concerns, and chronic disease.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a Black Pediatrician in the US?

Use the search and filter tools on this page to browse Black Pediatricians in the US. You can filter by distance from a ZIP code, by telehealth, and by whether the Pediatrician has confirmed they are accepting new patients. If the list is short, consider virtual options as many Black Pediatricians serve patients statewide or nationwide.

Are there virtual or telehealth Black Pediatricians serving the US?

Yes. Many Black Pediatricians offer telehealth appointments in addition to or instead of in-person visits. Use the telehealth filter on this page to see providers who offer virtual care, which can expand your options significantly if local availability is limited.

Why does seeing a Black Pediatrician matter?

Research consistently shows that racial concordance between patients and their care team is associated with better communication, greater trust, and improved health outcomes. Patients who share a racial or cultural background with their Pediatrician often report feeling more understood and are more likely to follow through on care plans.

What should I ask a Pediatrician before working with them?

Ask whether they are accepting new patients, what insurance they accept, and whether they offer telehealth or in-person visits. It is also worth asking about their experience with conditions relevant to you, their communication style, and how they handle after-hours questions or urgent concerns.

Do Black Pediatricians in the US accept insurance or Medicaid?

This directory does not yet record which insurance plans each Pediatrician accepts, so the listings here cannot tell you. Contact the Pediatrician directly to confirm your specific plan, including Medicaid or Medicare, is accepted before scheduling.

Is a Black provider the same as an African American provider on this directory?

Yes. Black Health uses Black and African American interchangeably to describe the same population of providers and patients, matching how people commonly search and self-identify. Both terms point to the same providers on this page.
