Finding Black doctors in Pittsburgh is like finding a needle in a haystack. Or so it may seem. Just about every week a mom post in the Pittsburgh Brown Mamas Facebook group and ask “Does anyone know of a Black doctor”? It’s been years in the making, but I finally am getting it done. Check out this list of Black doctors in the Pittsburgh region as compiled courtesy of the moms of Pittsburgh Brown Mamas.

Hello! Tried to find Dr. Margaret Larkins Pettigrew. The number listed was a non working number. Does anyone have a more recent number for her?
Dr. Sola-Rufai is a black pediatrician in Oakland
Dr. Alvarado-Reagans is an amazingly skilled OB/GYN in AHN system. I was lucky enough to find her when I moved to Pittsburgh years ago. The care I receive from her and her practice is great! She is patient, compassionate, and professional. I have never felt rushed and takes time to explain information and involve her patients with their care.
She has several offices in the area: https://doctors.ahn.org/Ganya-E-Alvarado-Reagans

I have a black primary care physician by the name of Dr. Herbert Bazron. He is the nicest and most caring doctor I have ever had in my life. He listens and offers advice and when I walked into his office, the receptionist reminded me of one of my “aunties.”Such a great feeling.

Dr. Esa Davis is my PCP and Gyne at UPMC Montefiore General Medicine. I didn’t have health insurance when I began seeing her at General Medicine…I was able to apply for UPMC financial assistance once denied for Medicaid. They covered 80% of my bill. Dr. Davis is very difficult to get an appointment with, but is soooo worth the wait!!
