Confidential Services: Privacy Guaranteed
Any issues we discuss during a confidential appointment with a doctor won't be shared with anyone. Confidentiality is our legal right and there are serious consequences for anyone who shares any private information without our consent. Check out the confidentiality laws for doctors. We can call Kaiser's confidential teen clinic anytime at (707) 486-8312.

If you're under 18, you'll be seen by your pediatric doctor. You can also talk to a pediatric advice nurse 24 hours/7 days week who can tell you how to treat a minor injury or issue, and help you decide if you need to make an appointment. Confidential appointments are available.
Call if you're sick, need a sports physical, a sports certificate signed by your doctor, vaccinations for school or college, or if you need to talk to someone about a medical issue that's bothering you.
