Primary Care Docs at Oakland, Kaiser
Most of the recommendations for Doctors are very old. Does anyone have a recommendation for an Oakland Kaiser Primary Care doctor. I am 68 years old, and I do not take medications. I am looking for a female doc. who is kind and not a big pusher of medications. Thanks so much.

I like my Kaiser Oakland primary care doc, Leah Bowser. She does not seem to be a big pusher of medications. In fact, I suspected I didn't need a hypothyroid medication I was on (even though I had been told by a previous doctor that the condition it was treating was invariably permanent), and she was fine with me going off the drug for a while and doing follow-up testing to see what happened. (Tests came back fine without the drug, so I'm drug-free now.) Note that she is on pregnancy leave until January.
I love Dr. Nora Emon. I've been with her for almost ten years and her bedside manner, and expertise, is the best!
