Reviews
4.8 of 5 stars
165 Ratings, 37 ReviewsThe ratings and comments seen on provider profiles are gathered from patient surveys, which are conducted by an independent patient satisfaction organization called Press Ganey. Star ratings are only displayed for surveyed Overlake providers who have accumulated 30 or more survey responses in outpatient clinical settings. While we are committed to publishing both positive and negative comments, we also maintain a rigorous process to review and remove comments that are profane, libelous, unrelated to the provider, or violate patient privacy.

Dr. Jeran very well prepared for my visit.

Dr Jaren is very thorough with his explanations and using the brain imaging to ensure I understood the results. I am always impressed that he has read my onechart to know ahead of time what other medical issues I face. I appreciate his honesty and language a lay person would understand. I have complete confidence in Dr Jaeren

I appreciated Dr. Jaren calling me after my Mom's appt (I am her POA) and summarizing the appt and his diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

This was easily the most uncomfortable dr appt I've ever had. Very odd.

Dr Olav was fabulous. Incredible communication.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/9/2024
I complimented Dr Jaren directly during my appointment. I wish all of my providers were more like Dr Jaren. He is 100% present during my appointments. He is easy to understand and offers practical solutions. If there was a star rating system here, so would give Dr Jaren an 11 out of 10 stars.

Absolutely enjoyed my visit with the Dr. I tend to have a lot of questions and he was so patient and responded to every single one with a very thorough explanation. I left the appointment feeling very reassured and confident in the care I'm receiving.

He was caring and gentle.

If more providers for nerve tests are needed, those should be included. Waiting 2 months for a test so surgery can happen is far from ideal.

I appreciated the time I was given during my appointment

Dr. Jaren was very good at explaining what had happened to me after the surgery, and relieved my concerns about another possible stroke.

Very pleasant

The experience was excellent. In addition, I recommended another individual to go there recently, and they did, and were very pleased.

I am disappointed that Dr. Jaren didn't seem to recognize the severity of my numb hand problem and didn't offer any posible cause, testing, treatment or medication. To "live with it" is unacceptable.

*Dr. Jaren took the time to hear my concerns and then followed up with his clear plan moving forward. Very professional doctor.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/6/2023
Dr. Jaren is hands down the most caring, empathetic, and most intelligent provider I have experienced. He listens actively, and involves the patient in the care plan.

Dr. Jeron was very good. Showed concern. Had researched my case before I arrived and had some information regarding my case and potential solutions. He listened well to my concerns and history. Appreciated his expertise and knowledge.

I have chronic migraines that are very hard to treat. However, my provider has not given up on me. He goes above and beyond to try to find new remedies & solutions for me each & every visit.
