Dr. macaria M. miren, DDS

This location is a little different from the other locations that I have been to. In the area for labs there is no person to check in but only a computer. This is OK to me but I guess if someone has questions there really isn’t a person that they can ask until they are called back to one of the stations. There also doesn’t seem to be much privacy as the door is open and if there are people at the first few stations directly at the door entrance, anyone walking by can see what is being done. It may not be a big deal to a lot of people, but I think for privacy it would be a courteous thing for those patients. Aside from that this is a really beautiful new building which is only five minutes away from where I live. It’s very clean and tastefully decorated. They definitely have ample parking, which is a plus because most Kaiser locations can fill up pretty quickly.

It seems like the negative posts are people expecting this to be a doctor's office or an emergency room. It is neither. They take appointments (no walk ins) for same day or next day service. If you are having an emergency and need to be seen immediately without an appointment you should go to an emergency room. If you aren't sure, I recommend calling the free 24/7 Kaiser advice nurse. They can help you evaluate your symptoms and suggest an appropriate facility and even book the appointment for you if needed. See my attached image for a summary of the types of concerns this facility addresses. If you are seeking care at the appropriate type of facility you can expect good care and courteous staff. I think they could do a better job of helping patients match their concerns to the appropriate facility on the KP website, but I can't blame the people here for that.

Modern facility, attentive staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Plenty of parking for disabled and able bodied patients.
Peet's coffee is on site. Open for daylight hours.
Shopping center down the road for more food variety.
Easy access from highways (580 and 680).
