    Dr Mielke really keeps up- to date on all the newest advances in health care for the brain and the entire body. Most doctors don't do that.

    Outstanding medical staff, but facilities and one unprofessional nurse left room for improvement…read more My wife Nikki and I recently had a 4-day stay at Stanford Tri-Valley to welcome our first child, our daughter Oraya Rose. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly accommodating, starting with Jeanette at the front desk who gave us a warm welcome and a smooth check-in. The Medical & Nursing Team We cannot say enough good things about our doctors. Dr. Veeragandham (our delivering doctor) and Dr. Chandler (who cared for my wife in the days prior) were the most comforting and phenomenal doctors we've ever experienced. You can truly tell they care deeply about their jobs and their patients. Dr. Sanders, who discharged us, was also fantastic; he kindly expedited our release knowing we were exhausted from the small post-labor room and just wanted to head home. Throughout our long stay, we were supported by an army of wonderful nurses who checked in frequently to ensure we had a pleasant stay. We want to thank Kelly, Michelle, Chayenne, Stacia, Suzanne, Elizabeth, Maddie, Tricia, Deanna, Liz, Rachelle, Noelle, and Ranjita. We also want to give a special shoutout to Aaliyah, who was immensely helpful with my wife's labor exercises early on. Our absolute standout was our delivering nurse, Shinika (who we understand is a traveling nurse). She is a tremendous asset to the Stanford team! Her guidance and support were instrumental--she coached my wife so well that she was able to push the baby out in under 35 minutes. Constructive Feedback & Areas for Improvement Unfortunately, we did have a highly negative interaction with another nurse, Jen, who was in the room during delivery. There was palpable tension and attitude from Jen directed at Shinika. Even worse, while my wife was actively pushing, Jen abruptly announced, "The baby's heart rate is dropping." This caught us completely off guard, caused unnecessary panic, and disrupted my wife's focus. Thankfully, Shinika and Dr. Veeragandham immediately reassured us that everything was fine, and even the other staff in the room looked at Jen in confusion regarding what she was doing. We brought this up to the Assistant Nurse Manager, Joseph, but I am reiterating it here so Jen can be properly trained. If there is an urgent matter, it needs to be communicated professionally with the doctor, not blurted out to terrify a mother actively pushing out a baby. Facilities & Amenities The rooms were okay, but felt outdated and small compared to LPCH. Additionally, we were promised a celebratory meal once the baby was born, but we never received it. We were really looking forward to that after such a long and grueling hospital stay. Another suggestion for the hospital would be to add a community kitchen or hydration station for families. We felt terrible repeatedly asking the busy nurses for water and snacks. We didn't want to treat the medical staff like room service knowing they have far more important duties, so it got to the point where I just left the hospital to buy supplies at a store. Overall, the incredible medical care and nursing support made our experience a positive one despite the hiccups. Thank you to Dr. Veeragandham, Shinika, and the rest of the amazing team for bringing our daughter safely into the world! In the future, however, we will likely aim for a delivery at LPCH for a more modern feel and comfortable space within the same network.

    Brought a family friend to the ER. No line to check in even though it was a Saturday night. While…read morestill going through intake they were calling her name. Shortest wait ever. Smaller room but a great experience. Glad to have Stanford in the east bay.

    A Bureaucratic, Inaccessible System That Wastes Patients' Time…read more Many Sutter Health specialists are housed at this facility. I cannot understand what benefit these doctors see in making themselves so inaccessible to patients, including those with excellent insurance and the ability to pay for care. There are serious problems with this system, yet upper management appears either unaware of them or unconcerned. The fact that a healthcare organization can create this many barriers for patients and remain highly profitable is deeply disturbing for those of us who have busy lives and still got to work to make a decent living. It represents much of what is wrong with healthcare administration in California. Here's the story: We simply wanted to schedule an appointment with one of their speciality departments. The ordeal consumed approximately 35 minutes in the middle of a busy workday, and we still did not receive an appointment. First, the appointments could not be scheduled online even though we have worked with Sutter in the past. The online scheduling system forced us to make a phone call on a workday. The first five minutes were then wasted dealing with Sutter Health's robotic assistant, which was terrible and repeatedly failed to understand what I was saying. Even after requesting a live agent, the system continued to badger me with more questions before finally transferring the call. The live agent was pleasant, but the registration process took another 15 to 20 minutes and included an impressive collection of questions that had little to do with scheduling a specialist appointment. Management is welcome to review the recorded call. Short of asking for my plumber's current whereabouts or whether I had remodeled my kitchen in the past five years, they seemed determined to conduct a full census of my life before allowing me anywhere near the information about my doctor's availability. Did I need a wheelchair? Did I live in a long-term-care facility? Was my insurance provided through my employer? Did I work full-time or part-time? I was busy and calling for one simple reason: to make an appointment. Ask for my insurance card number and Date of Birth, should take less than five minutes and still get them what they need. Instead, Sutter has apparently decided that wasting patients' time is cheaper than hiring enough competent staff to obtain information already available through an insurance card. One has to wonder whether the system is truly underfunded or whether its priorities simply lie somewhere closer to the executive suite than the patient waiting room. The call was finally transferred to the specialty department, where a curt and patronizing representative explained that the office requires a "faxed" referral (like they are in the ninteenth century), along with recent bloodwork and physicians' notes. After the fax is received, we can apparently expect or basically "hope" that someone calls us. If no one calls, we are expected to call back and ask what happened. But there is no direct telephone number for the specialty department. That means going through the same malfunctioning robot and the entire general scheduling process again, potentially wasting another 20 to 30 minutes of a working person's day. How is this an acceptable or productive process for requesting a basic medical appointment? To make matters worse, many of their physicians are not accepting new patients. In my experience, the access problem here is substantially worse than at other healthcare systems. Stanford Health Valley Care, for example, provides a much more functional patient experience through a MyHealth account and their records are in the system, they generally do not have to overcome this many administrative hurdles or give a referral to seek speciality care. Having excellent PPO insurance that tells me referrals are not needed and the ability to pay should not be irrelevant because an institution has built a wall of bureaucracy between its physicians and its patients. This is not patient-centered healthcare and this is absolutely not a doctor centered healthcare either. It is an administrative obstacle course. The doctors that work here should know better than to work with them.
