How do I find a doctor accepting new patients?

Can I email my doctor or look at my lab results online?
Yes, when you become a patient at John Muir Health, we encourage you to register for our digital patient portal, MyChart. This portal allows you to message your care team, update your contact information, opt-in to paperless billing and online payments, conduct a video visit, review lab results, and complete paperwork in advance of your appointment. Learn more about MyChart.

Where are your Urgent Care locations?
We have Urgent Care Centers in locations across the East Bay. 

Are you a health plan?

How can I safely see my doctor during COVID-19?
Many conditions and issues can be covered remotely through a video visit or a phone visit. We also have numerous safety precautions in place to help keep you safe when you need in-person care. 

Is it easy to transfer my medical history?
Your new PCP will request your records from your previous doctor. You can also bring copies of your record to your visit. If you come from a medical group that uses MyChart, you can transfer your medical information very easily online. Learn more about MyChart.

How is John Muir Health different?
John Muir Health is an open system that allows you flexibility in choosing how you receive care and who you go to for care. Our outpatient centers offer a one-stop shop for a wide variety of services, from primary and urgent care services to specialists to lab/imaging services, while our Walnut Creek and Concord hospitals are ranked in the top three in the San Francisco Metro Area by U.S. News & World Report. At John Muir Health, we know that listening and explaining lead to better care.
