My Biography
Hello, and welcome to my web page! My name is Dr. Stephanie Lowe and I work in the Pediatric outpatient clinic at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco with a talented, caring team of doctors, nurses, medical assistants, and professional staff. We want to help make you and your child's visit to the clinic a positive experience.

First, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a Bay Area Native, growing up in San Jose. After graduating from UC Berkeley (GO BEARS!), I completed a medical degree at the University of Southern California (USC) and a residency at Kaiser Foundation Hospital - Oakland. In 1997, I joined Kaiser Permanente as a staff Pediatrician at the San Francisco Medical Center. I have been very happy with my decision. I am fluent in Cantonese and have found it extremely rewarding to care for and bond with my Cantonese speaking families. I am also in charge of the Pediatric Immunization Outreach Program in San Francisco, working to ensure our patients under 2 years of age are up-to-date with their shots.

When I am not seeing patients or supervising and teaching residents, I like to play piano, ice skate, ski, travel, and most of all spend time with my husband, Tom Vo, daughter Michaela, and son Connor.

I joined Kaiser Permanente because I believe in preventive medicine. I want to work together with my patients and their parents to promote and encourage a healthy lifestyle. If your child is sick, I want to help you understand your child's treatment or treatment options.

I hope you find this web page informative and helpful. Feel free to explore the various links. Thank you for visiting. I look forward to caring for your child and being a partner in your family's healthcare.

Why a pediatrician? Why do kids need a specialist? Because kids are different. And so are the doctors that choose to take care of kids.

Pediatrics is the medical specialty that is fully focused on kids: from birth through the exciting and tumultuous years of adolescence.

Pediatricians are trained for 4 years in medical school to become a doctor and then have three full years of extra training in how to take care of kids and teens. Some pediatricians have additional training in a subspecialty area like cardiology, pulmonology, or hematology. Our department has general pediatricians and specialist pediatricians to make sure that your children stay healthy and, if they get sick, that they get the best care possible.

Pediatricians believe that your children start healthy. We are trained to focus on prevention of problems and work with families for the betterment of children. We love children and, in truth, most of us are big kids ourselves.

In the pediatric department, we look forward to caring for your family as it grows.

It’s my main goal to provide you and your children with high quality care. In the 21st Century, that means more than just making appointments or picking up the phone to reach me. As a member of my practice, you have many more choices:

• Secure Email - By creating an account at kp.org, you can add your child to your account and email me your health questions and concerns, as well as pictures. You can also make appointments, request medication refills, and view your child’s immunization records online with this feature.

• Life Stage Newsletters - From birth to adolescence, you can sign up to receive regular newsletters about your child’s health, featuring accurate, up to date information with links to videos, photos, and more.

• This Home Page: Take a moment to explore all my home page has to offer—not just health information you can read, but also videos, podcasts, and more.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
