Dr. Melinda Jean Lorenson, MD

Horrible Dr long story short she left me in active labor with a horrible nurse that did not help me during active labor. She picked in and out twice during the entire night! Ended up in emergency c section. During recovery she came to appoligize that sh e had worked long hours that day and that her team had to help with emergency c section. Thank god they did or else I or the baby would probably not survive. I am yet to file a big complaint with kaiser. Iam terrified for life.

I developed an infection while under the care of Dr. Lorenson. Not only was she completely unaware of the signs and symptoms of infection, her lack of awareness caused me to lay in a hospital bed for 5 excruciatingly painful days without any treatment while my infection continued to grow. She used such poor judgment that she actually authorized my discharge from the hospital despite me being completely immobile from the infection. Seriously. In hindsight, it was a good thing she did let me go home because I was able to go to ER at a different hospital where my symptoms were identified in only 10 minutes. The ER team told me I would have died that night if I hadn't received treatment.

Very poor provider. Patients beware
