I had a C sec at the Lawrence facility in Santa Clara about 6 months ago. It wasn't a planned c section I was hoping for a natural delivery. As I'm sure you know with Kaiser you can't have your OBGYN perform your delivery. It is always the Dr that is on "duty" when you go in that will deliver your baby. I'm not sure if its the same protocol for planned c sec? You may want to ask about that. I agree the care after the C-sec was good, nurses were VERY kind, attentive and the private rooms are priceless. My only complaint was that when I went in to L&D originally the care was VERY poor. there weren't any rooms available, I was put in an observation room for hours, and wasn't checked on. The nurses were stressed and rude as were the Dr's. However once I got a room, I was better taken care of (some 6 hours later). they did allow my doula to be with me with out much of a problem, although I did sense some hostility and sarcastic comments about my "natural" approach. I don't know who performed my C-sec, it was the Dr on duty, did a fine job but I was so out of it at that point I don't even know who it was! Overall a good experience, when I plan my second though I think I'll opt away from Kaiser all together for a more personal experience with the Dr for my 2nd.
