What Is A Black Doctor?
A black doctor is an African American doctor or physician who specializes in health issues that pertain to African American patients. While most are community doctors, many Black doctors are also surgeons and physicians.

Why Do Some Prefer A Black Doctor?
Some African Americans prefer a black doctor because they feel that the doctor will be more compassionate and helpful towards their health issues. This is similar in many other ethnic groups, as studies show that most Asians prefer an Asian doctor.

Where Can Black Doctors Be Found?
The internet is full of web sites and directories of African American doctors, physicians, and health experts. Many cities and states produces print directories as well, to allow non-Internet users the ability to locate a doctor of their choice.

What Struggle Did Black Doctors Face?
According to a 1968 Time Magazine article, Black doctors faced heavy discrimination from other doctors and patients who did not want to be touched by a black person. One black doctor noted that many who wanted to go to medical school were not prepared educationally, because of the poor schools that Blacks were forced to attend. He adds, "Even to be considered, the Negro must be in the top 1% of his class".
