    Recently, I had two foot surgeries at the Santa Clara Kaiser. I wanted to congratulate Kaiser for…read morechoosing Dr. Bui at its Podiatry department. Dr. Bui operated on both of my feet so great that only the day after surgery I had slight pain and that was it! As of the second day, I was able to walk around without any pain or discomfort. For my first procedure he gave me various painkillers, anti inflammatory, ... Not only I didn't find the need to take them, for the second procedure I asked him not to prescribe me any medications as I wouldn't need any. To me, these were magical procedures. If I had not experienced this on my own, I wouldn't believe anyone's advice! I feel lucky and grateful for being referred to Dr. Bui by my nephew. Dr. Bui is also my sister's specialist as well yet referred by my nephew. Now, we have an outstanding family doctor. Appreciate it Dr. Bui!

    I have kidney failure, and I have Kaiser Permanente to blame…read more Over 40 years ago, at my first job, I signed up for Kaiser Permanente as my healthcare provider. I was young and very athletic. Whenever I went to Kaiser for a sickness or a routine checkup, the nurse taking my vital signs would tell me that my blood pressure was "borderline high." When I asked what that meant, she always said, "You're young; you should be fine." I didn't know what blood pressure was back then, but it turns out I was not fine. They never investigated further and never gave me medication to treat my hypertension. As it turns out, hypertension is a leading cause of kidney failure alongside diabetes (which I did not have). A few years later, I changed jobs and switched insurance. One day, I became very sick and went to a local clinic for help. The doctor looked at me and immediately ordered a blood test. The results came back quickly, and he ordered me to check into the hospital right away. He told me I had kidney failure and that, based on my lab results, I should have been dead. I learned that both of my kidneys had completely failed. I had to start dialysis to clean my blood--a treatment I had to undergo every other day, sitting in a chair for four hours at a time. It was an uncomfortable and difficult process. After about three years on dialysis, I was fortunate enough to receive a kidney transplant. During that first year, I learned I had an autoimmune condition that likely caused my hypertension in the first place. While treating the hypertension would have been straightforward, treating the underlying autoimmune condition at that time was much more difficult (though I understand it is far easier to treat today). Fortunately, my transplanted kidney lasted over 20 years, well beyond the typical 10-year lifespan. During those two decades, I was able to live a relatively normal life, though I still had to see doctors regularly, take many medications, and take careful precautions to protect my new kidney. A few years ago, my transplanted kidney began to fail, and I am now back on dialysis. Over the past few years, I have blacked out three times due to body chemical imbalances and have developed cancer in my native kidneys twice as a side effect of the anti-rejection medications. I have been in and out of clinics and hospitals constantly, undergoing anywhere from 10 to 20 surgeries, both large and small. I recently learned that during the time I was with Kaiser (around the 1990s), the organization was going through severe financial turmoil. I spoke with a doctor who still works there and was an intern during that era; he mentioned that Kaiser almost went bankrupt and tried to cut costs by hiring less qualified medical staff. Online research confirms they suffered from aggressive expansion, failed mergers, massive financial losses, and heavy internal friction between physicians and unions. Kaiser changed the entire trajectory of my life. I was a victim of their missteps, and I have suffered the consequences for over 40 years. Back then, everything was a paper trail that I didn't keep. Otherwise, I would consider taking legal action.
