“For many years, we’ve offered primary care services to our Kaiser Permanente patients that live here,” said Dr. Peter Laimins, administrative lead for the new building. “But for any of the subspecialty needs — cardiology, orthopedics, ENT, general surgery — patients have had to go down to Panorama City to get care there. So what this building represents is a new location for our sub-specialty physicians, who are now doing the driving instead.”

Laimins noted that things have gone “very smoothly” since the new facility — called the Santa Clarita Medical Offices 2 — opened on March 14, giving sub-specialty and urgent care patients the chance to experience medicine in a new way.

“There’s advancements inside this building as far as the way medicine is practiced,” Laimins said. “We’re trying to get away from the old stagnant waiting rooms… Now we have kind of a public square area where patients come in, they’re met at the front door by a service agent with a tablet to take in their information and then we text patients when their appointment time is ready.”

Instead of flipping through old magazines in a waiting room, patients are free to “roam around,” stopping by the coffee bar or simply enjoying the open-air atmosphere.

“It’s just more of a familiar, friendly environment,” Laimins said. “The pharmacy is in an open setting in the main area, so again, no enclosed doors. It almost feels like you’re at a Starbucks or an Apple store — that kind of atmosphere.”

Kaiser’s Urgent Care has moved from their original building to the new facility, which also features a lab, pharmacy and x-ray and imaging capabilities, and will also have an outpatient surgery center for minor procedures opening next month.

“I think it’s long overdue,” Laimins said. “The drive for us is 20 minutes, but again, for people that live here, there’s no need for them to be driving anymore.”
