By far the worst patient care I've ever experienced. I'd be switching to a different provider…read moreduring next open enrollment. In one instance, I was waiting for interpretation of important test results related to my health. Instead of receiving an explanation of the results and guidance on next steps, I was told to contact another department myself. Patients should not have to act as intermediaries between Kaiser providers and departments to get answers about tests that Kaiser ordered. In another instance, I sent a message to my primary care physician and received a response from a nurse stating that the doctor was out of the office and that if I wanted an answer, I should resend my message after the doctor returned. I found this completely unreasonable. Why is it the patient's responsibility to keep resending the same message until it happens to reach a doctor at the right time? Messages should either be held for the physician upon return or routed appropriately within the care team. The recurring issue is a lack of ownership. Ordering tests is only part of patient care. Following up with results, explaining what they mean, and providing next steps are equally important. Patients should not have to repeatedly chase down information or navigate internal communication gaps on their own. I expect better coordination and accountability from a healthcare organization of this size.

They draw blood, CT scan, X-ray, ultrasound, and can't find anything. I said that I would like to seek a second opinion and my doctor became noticeably upset and questioned my request. Now my gastroenterologist is standoffish and I don't know why. I feel maybe they have labeled me as a hypochondriac and have given up on finding out what it is. In the meantime, I have been physically wasting away and don't know why. I had a heart attack 2 years ago and went to another hospital that saved my life. I'm on Kaiser because I'm on my wife's insurance.

In my opinion, this institution is a huge setback to our area. They seem to be more concerned with…read moretheir own interests than the people they "serve". I have tried for over a month to contact patient relations. I got one call back from "Ashley". I called back leaving messages to call back, but now for over a month, they have seemingly deliberately ignored my requests. I put another call in to the main 3333 number to make a fresh request. The person answering clearly knew who I was and what the situation I was calling about was. I was assured I would be called back, but as of one week I have heard nothing. In general, I hear many people say that the doctors there generally don't really care about their patients, that they are arrogant, and don't communicate well. There is much more that i could say, but i will say that a large majority of the staff, are genuine people from our area, and do their job well, but the medical providers are the main problem that i have noticed and heard complaints about. There are definitely some good doctors, but they apper the exception not the rule. i only have experience with certain providers. Some are great some not at all. I do hear feed back from a number of people i know who feel similarly. One other important observation is that when you rate a Stanford doctor highly, they give you a rating questionnaire AFTER EVERY VISIT. Once you give a bad rating, say because you learned that an "excellent " physician was actually a "fair weather friend" and suddenly wasn't so good at all if things got challenging, then they seem to stop asking for evaluations. You will notice that their physicians public individual ratings are based on internal surveys, and it is difficult to find a way to rate the physician outside of their internal system, thus likely artificially boosting their ratings by limiting the negative ratings...

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.

The outside gardens are pretty but unfortunately that was the best of it. We worked with Anne who was very passive aggressive, did not have answers to most questions, and gave incorrect information regularly. It was an awful experience working with Anne and many of the nurses at this facility. My mom suffered from dementia. She was only at this facility for less then one month and we moved her out because of safety issues and how she was being treated. It is a difficult thing to move someone with dementia, but this was not a safe facility. They lost her belongings, she fell and was hurt, badly bruised along her ribs and hand, and they regularly asked her to be responsible for her phone when she has dementia. They didn't answer phone calls in the evening, they didn't want to give updates on how she was doing, they didn't help her with her phone or Tv. The list goes on. This facility is not caring nor compassionate. More then anything, you want your loved one to be taken care of and treated with respect. If we would have known how badly she would have been treated we would have never let her move in. My mom was moved to another facility that was amazing and everything Silver Oak Manor was not.
