Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How the scores work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated the practice, compared with other primary care offices we found. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 4.9 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What primary care costs in Palm Desert

The practices here don’t publish fees in the data we reviewed, so we’re not quoting prices. What you pay depends on your insurance plan, whether the office is in your network, the type of visit, and any tests or procedures. Concierge practices can also work on a membership basis. Ask each office what a new-patient visit costs with your coverage before you book.
