Kaiser Pediatrician/Family Dr. Needed: Davis or Roseville
Hi there,
My husband and I came to the tough decision that I will not be returning to work, so now we are faced with the challenge of changing our insurance from a PPO to Kaiser. I am looking for a good understanding pediatrician who can handle an anxious new mom. I am also looking for a good primary care Dr. for myself and my husband. I have been working through post partum depression and so it is very hard for me to have to change Dr.'s right now, I am so comfortable with the path I am on with my current Dr.'s, but I know we will be able to find someone great at Kaiser too. So ladies please help me! We live in North Natomas, but I prefer to go to the Kaiser in either Davis or Roseville. Thank you so much for your help!

The pediatricians in Davis are awesome. I am a very anxious new mom and Dr. Keremitsis, Dr. Rhodes, and Dr. Baker are all sooooo great. Good luck!

My daughter's pediatrician is Michelle Ernst located at the Kaiser Roseville on Sierra Gardens. She is very helpful and responsive to questions I've had. Good luck.

Hi J.. Dr. Emily Earl is at Kaiser Roseville. She is wonderful! She was one of my kids' pediatricians before she moved over to Kaiser. I miss her.

The Kaiser Womens and Children's Center in Roseville will be open in January 2009. It is going to be a great Children's hospital. I am in the opposite situation (went from Kaiser to Sutter). I wish i had the Roseville Kaiser available to me.

Hi--I am in the opposite situation than you. We just had to leave Kaiser to join Sutter, I have been a member for over 30 years. We used Dr. Ken Hempstead in the Roseville office, he is awesome. I consider myself a worrier, and he is relaxed, and I felt very confident with him, and I miss him. His wife also works in the office I believe her name is Ursula.

Hi J.-
Dr. Otani in Davis is a fabulous pediatrician. She is great with my boys. She explains things in such a calm way. She truly cares about her patients and doesn't rush through an appointment. She's also very prompt in returning calls and emails. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I just signed my boys up with Dr. Elton Huey who is at the Sierra Gardens Kaiser in Roseville. When I saw in his profile that he does rounds at the NICU at Morse Avenue I thought "He's got to be a warm doctor." Indeed he is- very helpful and informative and put both of my boys at ease. I would recommend him all day long. He was also raised in the Sacramento area.

Hi J.- I know you are looking for a Dr. in the Roseville/Davis area, but if you change your mind, Kaiser Point West (off of 80 and Alta Arden) in North Sacramento is great. My pediatrician, Dr. Rebecca Cunnigham is great, she is an active listener and addresses every concern I have. When I call and leave a message, she calls back prmptly oppossed to her nurse. Also my husband and my primary care Dr. are at the same facility. Just wanted to give you other options.
