Peters James A, MD

Wow! I never knew healthcare could be THIS good! After being held hostage by the fascist régime of Kaiser Permanente, I had entirely given up hope on the american health system.
Then, the good folks at Blue Shield choppered in, rescued me and delivered me into the waiting arms of Dr. James Peters. His mind, body, spirit approach is a novelty within the traditional structure of hospital-​based healthcare. This guy spent over an HOUR with me, talking about every little thing I could possibly think of, then sent me in for a battery of blood tests, in which they drew 7 full vials and sent them off to god knows where for a full range of tests. Talk about preventative medicine; this guy knows how to do it right! The experience of being cared for in this manner was incredible and I’m actually excited about going back for my follow-​up.
In case you hadn’t picked up on it, I hate Hate HATE Kaiser, the WalMart of medicine, and everything it stands for and received absolutely dismal health care from them. Do yourself and society a big favor and Resist HMO’s. Support your local medical practice, staffed by friends and familiar faces who actually care about you and your health. It costs more, sure, but sometimes there’s an even higher cost for low, low prices.
