Kaiser Permanente: Kern County Medical Facilities

Mar 2026

I would like to formally recognize and compliment Monette C. Hoburn, NP, in the OB/GYN Discovery department at Kaiser Permanente in Bakersfield. My experience with her was exceptional. She demonstrated a high level of knowledge and wisdom regarding women’s health, including a strong understanding of how medications can affect the female body. She took the time to carefully listen to my concerns and provided thoughtful, informed guidance. What stood out most was her compassionate approach to patient care. She treated me with dignity, respect, and genuine empathy. I felt heard, supported, and respected throughout the appointment, which is something every patient deserves. Monette Hoburn represents the kind of provider who strengthens patient trust in the healthcare system. I hope this compliment is shared with her and her department, as her professionalism and compassion truly make a difference.
