A Note From Our Chief, Richard Klekman
The OB/GYN department at Kaiser Santa Rosa is made up of team of qualified and compassionate individuals all working to make sure you are receiving the finest care in the world. twenty first century medicine offers wonderful potential for both provider and patient to utilize new technologies to enhance the art of medicine.
I want to share with you some of the opportunities that exist as a result of blooming information technologies and Kaiser’s commitment to enhancing your connection with those caring for you.
The cornerstone of all healthcare is the personal connection between you and the health care team. At Santa Rosa we want this to encompass every aspect of your care. Whether it be asking for directions at the information desk, checking in for an appointment, or discussing a sensitive matter with your physician we want you to know we care about your needs, we see you as a person and we want you to have a connection to those caring for you.
Kaiser has really "grabbed the brass ring" as an industry leader in integrating the power of the internet into personalized care. You can now book appointments, refill prescriptions, securely email your provider, and use the Santa Rosa web site to educate yourself about most aspects of woman's health right from your home computer.
I am proud of Santa Rosa's commitment to using these advances in computer technologies to bring patients and providers closer together than they have been in more than a generation. Much like a small town doc used to be able to keep in touch directly with all of their patients and provide direct access to their home or office we can now communicate with our patients on a more personal level thanks to Kaiser's commitment to these advances.
On behalf of all the providers in the department of OB/GYN I welcome you to our web site. Remember, personalization of care remains our focus, computer technologies can be used to enhance our relationships, improve communication and make navigating the health care system easier and faster for you.
Respectfully,
Richard Klekman MD
