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.
Close 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).
We 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.
Whether 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.
