Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center

I had my lumbar fusion surgery here and never have I felt such gratitude to to the entire staff that took care of me. From the nurses to the surgeons they made me feel positive going into surgery and treated me with such care postop. From the people bringing me meals to the nurses applying my medication. Thank you so much to Kaiser Oakland care for making this stressful and scary moment a bit easier. It will remain in my heart.

We were very impressed with our 3 day stay at Kaiser Oakland. Our son needed brain surgery and our team in Roseville asked if we would consider having the surgery in Oakland, we agreed with a bit of anxiety....especially after reading reviews about parking and with Covid we weren’t certain we could both stay in with our son. I’ll preface this review with the acknowledgment that I am not a fan of Kaiser but I do want to share with anybody coming here that we have had nothing but 1st class treatment here. The doctors, nurses, and complete staff were very professional, cordial - very human. There was never any confusion here like we find in Roseville - things played out exactly how it was explained. Parking was easy I don’t understand why the negative parking reviews - just park in the garage and walk out and right into the hospital. Check-in was easy. Again, it is Covid time so not as busy here but even with more of a crowd I think they would operate smoothly.nClose by are very good places to eat. Donas Mexican food (very good) one block away, Brenda’s just a few blocks (a must!) Drakes garage another good eat but would drive there, pass on Starbucks here and go across the street to the other Kaiser building to Jamaica Bay coffee (food is 10 fold better that Starbucks).nWe found all the peeps in this area very friendly, and to repeat the complete staff here at Oakland Kaiser very friendly - they enjoy their work.nWhether you live here or are coming from out of town rest assured your visit I would think/hope would be as calm and comforting as ours.

For one they keep it clean and sanitized. And they always have security on site.

Worst place ever all they want is your money!!!! Kangsi YU is the worst nurse that I ever spoke to she can’t even speak English and disrespects you as a patient you can’t even talk or say how you feel. I got a pain referral after 7 years and this unqualified nurse world not let me see the doctor! These people just want your money they will not help u heal! Do not trust them they claim they are non profit but they are a billion dollar industry!

Went to the ER with an infection in my arm. Was admitted immediately. Surgery the next day. Had a private room with a killer view overlooking the bay bridge. The food was actually quite good you can order meals from your TV. The staff was amazing and follow up care was great. First surgery ever and I must say it wasn't too bad. The surgeon and team were fantastic, came and spoke to me before hand and made sure I understood the risks. When I went in they asked my name and birthdate and then I woke up in recovery. They even rolled in a fold out bed for my fiance to stay with me for the week I was there. Amazing.
