We compared 7 primary care physicians in Richmond on Google Maps · 4 listed · How we rank

Choosing among primary care physicians in Richmond means weighing a nonprofit clinic and a community health center in the city against individual and group practices in Berkeley and Emeryville. These practices hold more than 550 Google reviews between them, with ratings from 4.1 to a perfect 5.0, and how each is run matters as much as the star count: a single physician's practice, a family-focused clinic, a health center and a membership-style group are all in the mix.

Short answer: Grant W. Wang, M.D. in Berkeley leads with a 5.0 rating from more than 270 Google reviews, with patients praising his unhurried visits. Brighter Beginnings, a clinic on Macdonald Avenue in Richmond, follows at 4.7 from more than 130 reviews. Visit costs aren't given in the data we read, so ask about fees and insurance when you book.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated the practice, ranked against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently patients still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What affects the cost of a primary care visit?

Costs depend on your insurance plan, whether the visit is a routine check-up or a problem visit, and whether labs or tests are added.
