Kaiser Pleasanton Pediatricians
Feb 2008
I am moving into the Pleasanton area and would like to get
recommendations for a Primary care physician, OBGYN, pediatrician.
I checked the postings and didn't find any. Would appreciate
recommendations. Thank you!

We moved to Pleasanton about a year ago. My kids see Dr. Patrick Mullin
at Kaiser and we think he's just great! We highly recommend him.
Very happy with Kaiser Pleasanton

Currently, I'm not sure how Doctors are assigned within the
Kaiser organization/structure. Can anyone express their
experiences with any of the Pediatric Doctors in the Pleasanton
area please. Also, any feedback in regards as to how Doctors
are assigned would be very helpful. Thank you!!!

What a coincidence! I am one of the Kaiser pediatricians who work in Pleasanton
(although I live near Berkeley). This must be one of the few times I've seen anything
on the Parents network asking about Pleasanton area.
About the Kaiser system...you choose your own primary care doctors--Internal
medicine, pediatrics and OB-GYN. You can either do it over the web (see below) or
when you are first seen in clinic. There is also a physician selection 800 number
(which I don't know off hand). You cannot choose a physician when you call the call
center for an appointment (for a number of arcane computer system reasons). I
think the easiest way is to choose over the internet. Just Google the Kaiser
Permanente site. On the home page, click on the ''members'' icon on the left (0nce
you've chosen the northern california region). Once you get to the members page,
you'll see ''A vital step: Choose your own physician'' on the left. After that, the
program is self-explanatory. You can see which pediatricians at Pleasanton have
open practices and you can check out each open panel pediatrician's home page so
you can learn more about him/her. The site allows you to choose a pediatrician (or
other primary care doctor). You can also link to all sorts of pediatric health
information from the physician's home pages. I'm not sure, but I think the first time
you get on the site, you might also be asked to choose a password. The Kaiser
Permanente web site has a lot of interesting information--when you have a chance,
you should check it out further.
One other thing...if you choose a doctor, and decide after meeting that person, you
don't feel comfortable with him, it's okay to change again. You're not locked in. I
have a closed practice, otherwise I'd offer to take you.
Good luck with your decision and welcome to Kaiser!
