SF speaks the truth. Kaiser NorCal consistently ranks highest
in quality of any provider in this region. My Kaiser primary care
physician is a UCSF medical professor. Numerous other
physicians there are also attached to the medschools at UCSF or
Stanford. I can't recall a truly bummer doctor there and I've seen
quite a few of them over the past 25 years. Local people who
are in the Kaiser system will do just about anything not to get
kicked out, because you know you have good coverage.

Perhaps quality declines as you get further from their homebase.
