Member Outreach Mission Statement:
Kaiser Permanente San Jose Medical Center and Gilroy Medical Offices Member Outreach Department is dedicated in providing every member with a personal physician or nurse practitioner.
Select a personal physician or nurse practitioner:
An important part of your health care experience is building a relationship with your personal physician or nurse practitioner. To that end, we encourage all our patients to have a personal practitioner who practices at a location convenient to your home or office.
Physicians or Nurse Practitioners who practice in our Internal Medicine, Family Practice, Obstetrics/Gynecology and Pediatrics Departments are considered personal practitioners. As members of The Permanente Medical Group, our physicians and nurse practicioners practice together, consulting frequently with each other to offer you the benefit of combined expertise and treatment options. They are assisted by a team of skilled nurses, technicians, psychologists, social workers, physical therapists, and other dedicated professionals who work together to provide you with high-quality medical care.
When you need to see a specialist
Your personal physician or nurse practitioner can refer you to a Kaiser Permanente specialist when he or she feels you need specialty care. Some specialty departments, such as our Mental Health and Psychiatry Departments, do not require a referral.
To schedule an appointment with a primary care physician or nurse practitioner or to speak with an advice nurse at San Jose Medical Center, call (408) 362-4791; for the Gilroy Medical Offices, call (408) 848-4095.

Disclaimer
If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. 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.
