The patient who understands healthcare risks and the importance of preventive health has an increased chance of improved outcomes. In addition, medical management should involve shared decisions between provider and patient. A more cooperative approach is best for all members of this important healthcare team. ### Professional highlights American Heart Association, California Academy of Physician Assistants. ## Education and training **Licensure and certification:** NCCPA Certified Physician Assistant **Education:** University of California, Davis ## Affiliations ### Medical groups - Sutter East Bay Medical Group ## Care locations [Castro Valley Care Center](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/castro-valley-care-center-1043246870) 20101 Lake Chabot Road Floor 3 Castro Valley, CA 94546 [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=20101+Lake+Chabot+Road+Castro+Valley%2C+CA+94546+US) [510-886-3400](tel:+15108863400) 510-506-7729 Sunday Closed Monday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Friday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Saturday Closed **View additional hours** Sunday Closed Monday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Friday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Saturday Closed ## Areas of expertise Explore the services and treatments this provider may offer. **Clinical expertise** ### Procedures - Annual physical exam ### Reasons for visit - Annual checkup ## Related services offered by Sutter - [Family medicine](https://www.sutterhealth.org/services/family-medicine) ## Similar providers nearby [View all](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-provider-results?facets=%5B%7B%22i%22%3A%22c_providerSpecialties.specialty.name%22%2C%22v%22%3A%5B%22Family+Medicine%22%5D%7D%5D&limit=10&staticFilters=%5B%7B%22displayName%22%3A%22Sutter+Health+provider%22%2C%22selected%22%3Atrue%2C%22filter%22%3A%7B%22kind%22%3A%22fieldValue%22%2C%22fieldId%22%3A%22c_providerIsSutterHealth%22%2C%22matcher%22%3A%22%24eq%22%2C%22value%22%3Atrue%7D%7D%2C%7B%22displayName%22%3A%22Near%3A+Castro+Valley+Care+Center%22%2C%22selected%22%3Atrue%2C%22filter%22%3A%7B%22kind%22%3A%22fieldValue%22%2C%22fieldId%22%3A%22c_offices.officeOrFacility.builtin.location%22%2C%22matcher%22%3A%22%24near%22%2C%22value%22%3A%7B%22lat%22%3A37.69826150202879%2C%22lng%22%3A-122.09030598834323%2C%22radius%22%3A16093%7D%7D%7D%5D&verticalKey=healthcare_professionals) - ![Karen Kline](https://dyn.mktgcdn.com/p/1S8wBWvtGYTY6_O2nO0IgSv6T2YMprZGh_TP-81qjSs/fit=crop,gravity=auto,dpr=2,width=230,height=230) ### [Karen Kline, PA-C](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-provider/karen-kline-1046250716) 20101 Lake Chabot Road Floor 3 Castro Valley, CA 94546 [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=20101+Lake+Chabot+Road+Castro+Valley%2C+CA+94546+US) [510-886-3400](tel:+15108863400) #### Family Medicine - Accepting new patients - ![Samuel A.
