[quote=Anonymous]We also love Kaiser and our experience with the drs has been overall very very positive - also disagree with that pp (couldn't make it through their post I'll be honest, so I don't know the whole story but disagree with that the drs are poor). My husband's family has had Kaiser for literally 30 years and have been overall happy. Husband had it while in college - I agree it's not the EASIEST, but I think he just had most appts while home which frankly most college students do anyway and otherwise they just use the student health center for quick things.

I do feel it's much more connected than other care. For example, when my son was having persistent ear infections, the pediatrician picked up the phone while in the appointment with us to call upstairs and consult with the ENT. That has happened a couple times, where she will either email someone quickly or call to get their consult when we don't necessarily need a full appointment but she wants to kind of "check her thoughts" from someone more specialized in the area - seems like a great benefit. And when we need it she quickly makes a referral for us to see the specialist. It's true some of it is just that they ahve access to your file, but it just makes everything smoother. Most docs are also great at emailing which makes things so much easier.

I will say they also have been great with covid testing. It has been such a relief with young kids not to wonder where to go for a test. I also really really appreciate the urgent care system as a parent of young kids. I know it doesn't apply to you op but in case others read - it is so nice when needed to know exactly where the urgent care is, feel confident in it, know they will already have your child's records, etc. I'm not googling for the closest urgent care and reading reviews when I need something done quickly. And with covid we rarely go into the urgent care itself to be honest - they have tons of video appointments you can hop on to run things by someone. Nurses line is fine, nothing that helpful but it's good it's there.[/quote]
