Our Mission
BlackDoctor.org is a credible and trusted resource for African Americans to get healthy lifestyle information. A "WebMD" for Black consumers is a good way of looking at us. Our aim is to build a comprehensive database of accurate, relevant information and to be the first point of call whenever African Americans need medical/dental information or a referral to a qualified Black doctor.
A Powerful New Resource for Black Health
BlackDoctor.org is a powerful new resource for African Americans. It’s devoted exclusively to the strategies, tactics and health advice that will help you live healthier, happier lives. And it’s FREE!
BlackDoctor.org gives you access to innovative new approaches for Black health – so that you can live your life to its fullest possibilities. We provide key information and free referrals to Black doctors –which until now – have been difficult to find. We give you effective strategies for managing your health, nutrition, weight loss, exercise tips, free advice from Black doctors and much more!
We give you access to the latest medical breakthroughs – all carefully evaluated by our top health experts so that you can decide whether or not they can help you…and take the best-informed measures for your specific needs.
BlackDoctor.org understands the uniqueness of Black culture, our heritage and traditions and how these all play a role in our health. We also understand that there is a lot of distrust with African Americans and the healthcare system. Truth is, BlackDoctor.org is vitally needed as a trusted and credible resource for our health and happiness. African Americans are disproportionately affected by a number of major diseases and illnesses. Our goal is to see that you gain the upper hand over your health.
And, while BlackDoctor.org is guided by leading physicians and specialists, it speaks to you in everyday language. The format is fast reading and concise so that you can pull out plans and strategies to work immediately - no matter what your health needs are.
I don’t have to tell you that new headlines about health pop up every day. No wonder there’s confusion and contradiction. But with BlackDoctor.org on call, you’ll get straight, reliable, medically authoritative answers.
Above all, we want YOU to feel in control. Few things in life are as distressing as the feeling that “something” has taken over your life. BlackDoctor.org works hard to ensure that you have the information and guidance you need to make the best possible choices!
Try our free newsletter now and see how good it feels to be in control of your health, your happiness and your life!

Dr. Randall W. Maxey, Chairman of Medical Advisory Board
President Alliance Minority Medical Association
Immediate Past President, National Medical Association
 Randall W. Maxey, MD, PhD, was installed as the 104th president of the National Medical Association (NMA) at the organization’s 2003 Annual Convention and Scientific Assembly. Dr. Maxey continues to emphasize the NMA’s mission to eliminate health disparities, which will be accomplished, in part, with the development of cultural competence programs, public health outreach and further development of evidence-based best practices.
Dr. Maxey has special interests in chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and health disparities. He has written and lectured extensively on these and related subjects.
Dr. Maxey has created the Community Health Project concept of Health Education Risk Reduction Opportunities (H.E.R.R.O.). The major objective of this program is to improve health outcomes and develop health incentive strategies for communities. This project is closely in line with the Church Health Network, which speaks to identify and treat members of selective congregations to reduce health risk of chronic disease.
In his scientific and academic endeavors and private nephrology practice, Dr. Maxey has made significant contributions to research and education on the prevention and treatment of renal failure, especially in cases complicated by cardiovascular disease. Over the years, his work has been recognized with awards from peers, colleagues, and professional organizations, including the National Medical Association and the Golden State Medical Association. In 1998, one of Dr. Maxey’s achievements included creating new approaches to the prevention of renal failure in South Pacific Islanders with diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
