CityHealth: Medical Clinics Serving Oakland and the East Bay

When you need medical care in the Oakland area, the last thing you want is a confusing search through dozens of providers. This guide covers everything you need to know about clinics in Oakland CA — and how CityHealth’s two East Bay locations serve patients across Oakland, Montclair, San Leandro, and the surrounding communities.

CityHealth: Two Clinics Serving the Oakland East Bay Area

CityHealth operates two clinic locations that serve the greater Oakland area. Each location is designed for a specific type of care, so knowing which location to visit can save you time and ensure you get the right treatment.

• Montclair Village, Oakland — Dermatology only. Open Wednesdays. Board-certified dermatologist on-site. Serving acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, skin cancer screenings, and more.
• San Leandro — Full-service urgent care, open 7 days. Located just 5 miles from central Oakland. Walk-in and same-day appointments available for urgent medical needs.

Both locations are affiliated with BASS Medical Group, Oakland’s largest independent physician network — meaning you have access to specialty coordination and a network of specialists if your care needs expand.

Our Oakland Clinic: Dermatology at Montclair Village

CityHealth’s Oakland location is nestled in Montclair Village — one of Oakland’s most accessible and vibrant neighborhoods. The clinic specializes in dermatology, offering expert skin care from a board-certified dermatologist.

Who the Oakland clinic is best for:

• Patients with chronic skin conditions like acne, eczema, rosacea, or psoriasis
• Anyone needing a professional skin cancer screening or mole check
• Patients dealing with rashes, hives, or unexplained skin changes
• Those seeking prescription-strength acne or anti-aging treatments

Oakland clinic hours: Open Wednesdays only. Call ahead or book online to confirm availability. Walk-ins are welcome when appointment slots allow.

The Montclair Village location is easily accessible from central Oakland, Piedmont, and the surrounding hills. Free parking is available nearby.

Our San Leandro Clinic: Full-Service Urgent Care Near Oakland

Just 5 miles south of downtown Oakland, CityHealth’s San Leandro clinic is the East Bay’s destination for same-day urgent medical care. Unlike the Oakland location, San Leandro offers the full spectrum of urgent care services — 7 days a week, with no appointment required.

Services available at our San Leandro clinic:

• Urgent care for illnesses and injuries
• TB testing and immunizations
• STI and STD testing
• X-ray and on-site lab work
• Virtual care visits
• B12 injections and wellness services
• COVID testing and treatment
• Pediatric urgent care

Oakland residents use our San Leandro clinic regularly because of our short wait times, transparent pricing, and experienced clinical team. With most major insurance plans accepted — including Medi-Cal, Blue Shield, Kaiser referrals, and Alameda Alliance — you won’t face a surprise bill.

What Conditions Do Oakland-Area Clinics Typically Treat?

If you’re wondering whether your condition warrants a visit to one of the clinics in Oakland CA, here’s a quick reference. Urgent care clinics like CityHealth San Leandro can treat most of the following:

Common illnesses:

• Strep throat, flu, COVID-19, colds
• Ear infections and sinus infections
• Bronchitis and respiratory infections
• UTIs and bladder infections

How CityHealth Compares to Other Oakland Area Clinics

The Oakland East Bay has a number of urgent care and walk-in clinic options, from large national chains to hospital-affiliated clinics. Here’s what sets CityHealth apart:

• Independent and community-focused — CityHealth is locally owned and operated, not a national chain. We know the East Bay because we’re part of it.
• BASS Medical Group affiliate — Access to a 300+ provider network if you need specialist referrals after your visit.
• Transparent pricing — We accept most insurance and offer self-pay pricing. No surprise bills.
• Fast wait times — Most patients are seen within 30 minutes. Our San Leandro clinic is designed for efficiency, not ER-style waits.
• Latina and woman-owned — CityHealth was founded and is led by a Latina physician, with a commitment to equitable, culturally competent care across the East Bay.
