The care and expertise of every person there. As with all ER situations it takes time but most of…read moreall is the knowledge that is part of this facility. They make you feel calm about what's going on with you.

I recently transferred my prenatal care from Sutter Health to Kaiser Permanente, and unfortunately,…read moremy experience with Dr. Maliha Ali, DO, and the Labor & Delivery OB team has been extremely disappointing. Communication has been one of the biggest issues. The team has been very unresponsive, often taking more than two weeks to reply to messages sent through the Kaiser portal. During pregnancy, timely communication is critical, and waiting weeks for answers to important questions creates unnecessary stress and anxiety. Before transferring, I read many negative reviews about this hospital and hoped my experience would be different. Sadly, I can now understand and agree with many of the concerns other patients have shared. The lack of responsiveness and difficulty obtaining needed information in a timely manner has left me feeling unsupported during an important time in my life. Coming from Sutter Health, where communication and patient care were much more efficient, the difference has been significant and disappointing. Unfortunately, I am unable to transfer back to Sutter until after I give birth, which makes this situation even more frustrating. I hope Kaiser takes patient concerns seriously and works to improve communication, responsiveness, and overall support for expectant mothers.

Dr. De Paz caused me to have seizures and lose 100lbs in months. He misdiagnosed me with…read morehypothyroidism. Dr. De Paz prescribed me levothyroxine causing me Thyrotoxicosis. My heart rate fell below 60 and De Pax just directed the NP to take the heart rate again. Thyroid test results simply read Normal. It takes no skill except literacy to read the results. Dr. De Paz was medically negligent. I worry about my body still. He could've easily read those results. It was ATTEMPTED MURDER Run don't walk. Don't let this doctor destroy your health.

Upon first visit Dr. DePaz ordered x-rays. He found nothing on the x-rays; however my husband was still in dire pain. We went back to Dr. DePaz hoping he would order other tests to further investigate the situation. My husband had to basically beg Dr. DePaz to do anything about the situation. Dr. DePaz figured since there was nothing on the x-rays, my husband was fine and could go back to work. He can NOT!! Dr. DePaz told my husband if he didn't like the way in which he himself was handling it, he could find someone else to see him. I myself had problems with DePaz several years ago. I'm 58. I've seen a lot of doctors in my time, and I'd have to say he is the worst physician I've ever dealt with!

Dr. Brierley is very patient, kind, and listens to your concerns. He addresses each one and at the end of the appointment always asks if we covered everything or if there is anything else. I went nearly 8 years without a PCP due the providers that took my insurance not taking new patients. I feel so lucky to have found this medical group. Highly recommended.

It's practically impossible to obtain an appointment with your primary care physician in a timely manner, always 6-9 months out! Now apparently you cannot be seen in the office for the same issue within a 2 week window. But after finding out they have 2,500 patients per doctor I will be finding a new primary care doctor. I am consistently rushed during appointments and not heard at all. Pushing more medication at me that I don't want, I want resolutions not the pain masked! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE TO ANYONE! I will however agree that Dr. Blu is absolutely amazing and it's a shame she's working at this office. Would love to change her to my primary care physician, but after my last experience I really am not comfortable remaining a patient there.
