Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Caring yet practical
I've been a patient of Dr. Jiam-Seagren's since 2016. I have found her to be kind, thoughtful and practical in her care. Back when Sutter would allow docs to answer their own email, she was very responsive. She makes a point to spend time with me and listens. Her style is great for me, and I'm super happy she's so much younger than I am, so I won't have to find a new doctor.

My first time seeing the doctor, yes she wasn't warm and fuzzy and didn't know on the door upon entering, but when it came push to shove she was there for the important things. When I mentioned health issues, she said let's get you a referral to look at that. When something came up negative in my lab results she called me personally with a plan. She personally called me to get info to call in meds for me, so she stepped up where it counted. I'll be keeping her.

I found Dr. Seagren to be friendly, helpful, and efficient. The fact that she networks with the Sutter Health system meant she was able to pull up my entire health history from the two other hospitals where I've been treated. She got me a flu shot right away, and even produced a medical leave letter that I needed for my mother who had come to take care of me for an illness. I recently had a logistical question regarding some blood tests, and she called back personally that night to answer!

I moved and was looking for a new doctor. When she walked in, Dr. Jiam-Seagren was hurried, unfriendly, and buried her face in a computer. Seeking a new primary care doctor and about to have an intimate medical exam, I asked about her experience. She was immediately defensive and standoff-ish. Instead of easing my nervousness, she said she did not have to do it. She has a chip on her shoulder and needs her computer to answer even basic questions. I will not go back.
