[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had great experiences with Kaiser.

Their urgent care in Tysons is amazing.  We had a very sick kid and she was seen then the moment we arrived at 3 AM, got a chest xray 20 minutes later, and we were out the door with prescriptions in hand within an hour.  It was amazing.

We've also had great luck getting seen by specialists.  My husband fell down the stairs and hurt his elbow.  He went to his PCP the next day, who then sent him to xray and then upstairs to see the orthopedist.  He was sorted with a diagnosis and a brace within 2 hours.

My 1 yo wasn't talking yet at her 12 MO appointment.  Her pediatrician called over to the ENT department and they agreed to see her right away.  They did a full hearing work up and, because she wasn't being cooperative, we had two audiologists working with her.  They were amazing and we had our answers that morning.

I've also had great luck with the nurses line when things get passed around our house.  If one person has pink eye or step and is diagnosed, they're okay to provide prescriptions for other members of the house without seeing us again with consistent symptoms.  Telehealth is also great.  They diagnosed my 5 yo with chicken pox during covid without us being seen in person.

We also love our pediatrician.  She spends tons of time with us at appointments and really knows our kids, providing great pragmatic advice.  We've been seeing her for 7 years now and won't leave Kaiser just to keep her.

I have had a few doctors who weren't great, but Kaiser makes it easy to switch.  We just move on and try someone else.  (Prior to Kaiser I certainly had doctors I didn't like as well.)[/quote]

+1 to all of this. Tysons urgent care is awesome - it's like a mini hospital in what they can do, but you're seen quickly and it's always a decent experience. I had a serious stomach bug that wouldn't quit, went there and they took such kind care of me, gave me an IV, etc. AND they often have an actual pediatrician on staff which isn't the case at most urgent cares. so when my kids go in we see an actual pediatrician. There has only been one time this wasn't the case, so the dr called the on call pediatrician at INOVA to discuss my baby's case.[/quote]
