[quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised by the earlier poster’s experience with Kaiser. My whole family loves the Kaiser system and all of our doctors! I find that many of them are moms who prefer the work-life balance they get at Kaiser (or at least used to get before the world was overtaken by a gigantic medical crisis). Three of us have even ended up at Kaiser urgent care in the past few months for various reasons and I have been super impressed by the care we’ve all gotten from those nurses and doctors too.

As for your question about traveling, here’s the official info:

(We’ve luckily never had a problem away from home.) My memory of college is that my school had a health clinic anyway...

As for generally how the system works holistically, it’s more that every doctor you see can easily access your medical records. So when you go to a dermatologist, she knows that you’re pregnant or need a flu shot or whatever. I think that leads to better care generally. But I don’t believe all of your doctors would ever convene to discuss things. (Except maybe in extreme cases?)

For us, it’s also been extremely convenient! We live in walking distance of the Capitol Hill location, so having all of our doctors and an urgent care and a lab and a pharmacy together in one spot is amazing. Good luck with your decision!
