    4.8 of 5 stars

    176 Ratings, 41 Reviews

    The 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.

      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.

      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 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.
