TLDR: Kaiser failed to catch treatable problems leaving me with a lifetime of, near constant, low level pain and joint problems.
While I was growing up I heard from people and media that Kaiser was quality healthcare. As grown up I believe the opposite. With the exception of the Mental Health Department, I have to say that I was not given adequate care. For years I suffered from back pain and digestive distress. Kaiser insisted on doing various tests, but the one test they never did was a simple back x-ray. I have scoliosis this caused the pain and the digestive problems, now its to late for any correction to my scoliosis, I'll have to live with some pain for the rest of my life. It was treatable if it had been caught early when I first made complaints, now at best I can reduce my symptoms with physical therapy. In addition they never caught the fact that I had collapsing arches. It was only diagnosed by another healthcare provider when I had done enough damage knees that I collapsed one day, ironically, while running for my health. Would not recommend.
