I will make this review of Kaiser Permanente shorter than the last. Been with Kaiser Panorama City since 2007. They were ok at first then they started to change. Its semi-ok to use kaiser for minor things but if you have more serious health issues this is not the place to be. And if you complain to them then they stop doing much of anything for you it seems as though they put you on a black-list !!!!

I have heart, Liver, Pancreas, Chronic vein, chronic constipation, Diverticulosis, edema in ankles feet and partial leg and a few other health issues. To be honest, they really have neglected many of my health issues for a long time and since they have done this my health is declining rapidly.

They never did anything about the edema only give lasix water pills thats all, they did not go to the root of that problem. Now since not doing anything the edema been getting steadily worse for years now the skin on my feet has been compromised have some serious rash and skin bleeds in different area on feet. If this gets infected wont heal because of edema and circulation. Ultimately could possibly cause me to loose my feet.

Then have developed a bulge in my left side abdomen which is painful. Conflicting diagnosis on this. One doctor say its in my colon, one doctor said its in my abdomen, one doctor said its a hernia , then one doctor said its infected diverticulosis puts me on antibiotics for 10 days that did nothing.

Been treated rude by many doctors there and by some nurses in the ER. Treated rudely by a lady in the Financial dept. I report all of them to Membership Services but I dont think they do anything. They just eventually send you a letter about 4 to 5 weeks later saying after reviewing your case we consider the case closed so to me nothing is done about complaints.

To be honest I wish I would have used Blue Cross of Blue Shield years ago instead of staying with Kaiser Panorama City maybe if I had not stayed with KP my health would not be in this poor condition as it is now. I feel horrible most of the time anymore , thanks Kaiser !!!!!!!

Sounds like you are really "falling apart" as the saying goes. Open season is now, which gives you a chance to change insurance.

Do so for next year. Blue Cross is good as you should be able to pick your primary doctor who can then refer you to a specialist, etc.

Being locked in to only doctors within Kaiser is a sure bet for the treatment you have so far experienced. Good luck.

Edema to the legs is often caused by congestive heart failure which you have already alluded to. I have as many problems as do you ; perhaps more - and I'm not looking for playmates and new friends - just assistance to help me cope with living.

You have no idea how much these people have on their "plate" and you're out of line condemning so many of them at once. Obviously you've never worked in a hospital or physician's office.

Actually I am not out of line condemning them ! They are getting paid well for the services they are supposed to be giving to people and if the dont do that or refuse to do that then get out of that business.

I do a lot of research about Kaiser they make billions of dollars annually and they are concerned about making more money. Thats is why they dont do what they are supposed to do for many patients's health. So before you go off on me or other people again with your damn attitude , do your research !!!

And as far as having more things wrong with you than me I highly doubt that as I only listed a few things here. Stop being an *** here !!!
