Kaiser South Sac recs please?

in Northern California Babies

We are leaving our awesome docs at Sutter (sad) and heading over to Kaiser.  Our Blue Shield deductibles & percentages just are so freaking high and with the boys being so young and in school there is just no way we can swing it any more.  So... Kaiser here we come!

We're for sure going to South Sac because it's closest to us.  My Sutter pedi mentioned a pedi named Dr. Vicki Link?  Anyone know her? 

Looking for recs for pedis, OB/GYN, and a general medicine dr for me & DH.  

Any input would be appreciated!

A funny aside:  I remember when we first moved up here we were on Kaiser and I picked my OB solely based on the ridiculousness of her name:  Dr. Dong.  Dr. Dong the gynecologist.  Ha ha ha ha...

    All of our docs are in Elk Grove, but we did see several pedis at South Sac because I delivered there.  Our favorite was Dr. Carter and I can't seem to find her on their directory...she must not be there anymore.  :-( It does look like Vicki Link is still there but I don't know anything about her.  

    My favorite OB from delivery (he actually did my version) was Dr. Puccinelli.  He's male but he was so gentle and nice.

    I told John we can't move and he can't change jobs/insurance until I'm done having kids.

    I know.  :(  But, I am done having kids, so tht's good, at least we held on to it until I was done with L&D and all that business.  

    I'm hoping I'll find a good home doc for us at Kaiser, esp a pedi, one that will make us feel the same way as the Sutter Peds did.  There has to be some out there!

    I'm sure there are! 

    Sutter is known for having super high rates and prices, so I don't blame you for switching.

    I love my OB (and she was rec'd to me by Jess and Ryn who both love(d) her too).  She's out of the Fair Oaks (near Loehman's) medical center.  Is that too far for you for an OB?  Dr. Rebecca King: https://www.permanente.net/homepage/kaiser/pages/c8780-top.html

     

    Also, I know you're done having kiddos, but we really loved everything about our experience with Kaiser South Sac in terms of the L&D, the midwife who delivered Cli (South Sac's midwifery program is so awesome, but only applies to preggos...but anyway :)), the nurses who cared for me there, and the pediatrician who saw Cli when we left...  I don't have a lot of experience with him since he really only did our little exit-exam on Cli before we left the hospital, but just from that short bit of time, we really liked him and would have selected him for our well baby appts and all if he were at Point West.

    HTH!  And hope that you guys have the kind of experience we've had with Kaiser in this area - which has really been super great.  GL :)
