About Linda D. Tolbert, MD
I am happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you. I have worked at Kaiser Permanente full time since 1993. I have enjoyed my wonderful patients and colleagues, and I look forward to working with you to care for your health.I enjoy getting to know people, which is one reason that I feel it is such a pleasure and a privilege to meet new patients and to be re-acquainted with others during the course of my day. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, good food, good humor, reading, exercise, and solitude.Medicine as a profession provides a very special opportunity to connect with and help people. I find my patients inspiring. I do my best to bring real life experience, medical knowledge, and common sense to the total care and treatment of my patients. After listening and understanding my patients concerns, we formulate a realistic plan together. I am honored that my patients entrust me to be a part of their care, and I strive to treat them as I would my own family. I strive to have a healthy balance in my life, which I am usually able to achieve. I am blessed with a fulfilling family life, and I thoroughly enjoy learning new things. I consider myself a spiritual person, taking little for granted and appreciating a lot.
