Searching for a doctor near me in San Leandro? CityHealth is your same-day option for primary care-adjacent services — physicals, preventive care, lab work, illness treatment, and more — without the weeks-long wait for a traditional primary care appointment.
What to Know About Finding a Doctor in San Leandro
Getting an appointment with a primary care doctor in San Leandro can take weeks — sometimes months. For residents who need care now — whether for a new illness, a lapse in coverage, or just a faster option — CityHealth San Leandro offers many of the same services without the wait.
CityHealth is affiliated with BASS Medical Group, which means care here connects to a broader network of specialists and hospital systems if you ever need a referral. You’ll be seen by a licensed physician or nurse practitioner — not just a medical assistant.
Services Available Without a Primary Care Doctor Appointment
When you need to see a doctor near you in San Leandro, CityHealth can help with:
Preventive Care & Annual Physicals
Annual physical exams, blood pressure checks, cholesterol screening, diabetes screening (HbA1c and fasting glucose), thyroid testing, and wellness counseling. These are the same services you’d get at a traditional doctor’s office — available same-day at CityHealth.
Illness Diagnosis & Treatment
Cold, flu, COVID-19, strep throat, sinus infections, bronchitis, ear infections, UTIs, skin infections, and more. Prescriptions are sent directly to your pharmacy. CityHealth providers can also refill ongoing medications for many conditions.
Lab Work & Diagnostics
Comprehensive lab panels including CBC, metabolic panel, lipid panel, thyroid function, STI testing, and specialty labs — all processed on-site. Results available same-day or within 24–48 hours depending on the test. See our lab testing services page for details.
Vaccinations & Immunizations
Flu shots, Tdap, hepatitis A and B, shingles vaccines, travel vaccinations, and more. Walk in — no appointment needed.

What CityHealth Can’t Do That a Primary Care Doctor Can
CityHealth is not a substitute for a long-term primary care physician if you have complex chronic conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes requiring insulin management, or a serious cardiac condition) that require ongoing specialist coordination. For those situations, CityHealth can provide an evaluation, stabilize you, and refer you to the appropriate specialist through the BASS Medical Group network.
For most people’s day-to-day medical needs, however, CityHealth handles everything you’d need from a standard doctor near you in San Leandro.
Uninsured? CityHealth offers transparent affordable self-pay pricing for urgent care, TB testing, and other services.
