People with disabilities report physical barriers in doctors' offices that affect the quality of care. Whether most or few doctors' offices are accessible is not known. We address this gap with data on 2389 primary care provider facilities. ⋯ These findings provide a base for quantitative expectations about accessibility nationwide, and indicate significant barriers exist. They show it is possible to conduct a large number of accessibility site reviews, providing one model to meet the Affordable Care Act requirement for provider accessibility information. Physical access is important as it may affect the quality of care and willingness of patients to engage in preventive care.
