About Us
Increasing the Value of Care
Affinity Medical Group was founded in 1999 by physicians who wanted to provide the finest care for patients in the East Bay region. We are an outstanding medical group that links over 650 of the finest independently-practicing physicians in Alameda County and West Contra Costa County.
Focus on Preventive Care
We believe that wellness check-ups can lead to early detection of problems. Much of the time, when problems are addressed early, outcomes are more favorable.
Top-Notch Providers and Specialists
You can be confident that you are choosing from a list of high caliber providers. Our exclusive primary care providers are board certified, and many of them have earned secondary specialty certifications.
