About

Having come from a long line of physicians, the choice to become a doctor was an easy one for Dr. Kazenelson. The question was what specialty to pursue.

 I’ve always had a fascination with medical science. As I explored different medical paths through my training, I found I was equally fascinated with the tremendous amount of knowledge required to keep up-to-date over the broad spectrum of primary care medicine. These factors were key to my decision to choose family medicine. I am dedicated to providing my patients with the latest in evidence-based medicine, great communication, compassion and understanding.  I get great satisfaction when a patient tells me they finally found a doctor who will listen to them.

Prior to joining MemorialCare Medical Group, Dr. Kazenelson was in practice in Orange County for 8 years.  Having grown up in San Clemente enjoying ocean activities, he still loves to spend time on the weekends surfing and scuba diving.

Dr Kaz as I’ve called him for 25 + years is by far the best Dr I’ve ever had! Great listener and very thorough. His bed side manner is perfection! I hope he never retires as he’s the very best Dr. He is straight forward which I love and gives me his support and expertise!!
