PA-C Jessica Uyen Le was AMAZING!!! What she did in my visit is the epitome of what the Kaiser experience embodies. She did more to help diagnose and solve a medical issue I've had for over 2 years than any other doctor I've seen for this issue. She took very clear steps to find out exactly what was going on and also clearly explained the treatment. She took samples to be cultured in the lab so we'd know exactly what the infection was. No one else tried that simple step. I have 100% confidence that the issue I came in for will be cleared up by her help and medication plan.
But it was her going above and beyond that almost brought me to tears in the exam room. I mentioned a symptom I've had for years that I thought might be related to the reason I was there that day. She said it wasn't related but didn't stop there, she told me what she thought the cause of those symptoms might be and a possible remedy/medication to try. I've asked many other health care people about this symptom I've had for years and they all just dismissed it or claimed it was something it wasn't. What Jessica said made perfect sense and it explained other symptoms I've had that I wasn't even aware were related.
I've taken her advice on medication and diet changes and I'm already seeing a huge decrease in my symptoms! I know the doctors at Kaiser have limitations on time spent with patients and dealing with unrelated issues, but what she did, I believe, is what Kaiser is truly all about. By spending a couple more minutes with me, she might very well have saved Kaiser from treating me with cancer in the future. If the symptoms I had kept being ignored and untreated, cancer is a possibility as an outcome. So how much did those few extra minutes save Kaiser in the long run? Who knows, but it could have been quite a lot.
The end result for me, the patient, is I not only was diagnosed properly for the issue I came in for, and given medication and knowledge to fix it, I gained other knowledge that already has improved my health and quality of life. That's amazing to me, especially considering the health care alternatives out there in our country today.
So Thank You Kaiser and especially Jessica! This is truly what health care is supposed to be like.
