SHC Patient, Aug 2015
Dr. Jaradeh is THE BEST!
SHC Patient, Aug 2015
It is clear that Dr. Jaradeh is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent diagnostician. He is also very personable and interesting. He did a very thorough review of my chart, which is much appreciated. However, he did not read my intake paperwork, which I did not realize until halfway through the appointment, and I couldn't seem to get his attention to the primary concern for which I had made the appointment. I'm still not sure if this concern has been evaluated. Other useful things were discussed. Tests were ordered. However, I am unclear if there will be follow up or treatment for the items we did discuss.
SHC Patient, Jul 2015
Willing to have highly technical discussions.
SHC Patient, Jul 2015
He explained things very well; I'm an RN so he spoke with me in terms that were very helpful to me with my medical knowledge.
SHC Patient, Jun 2015
he's very smart / experienced
SHC Patient, Jun 2015
The doctor does not speak down to me the way some do, and he talks to me about the treatment alternatives so that I can also make informed decisions and understand my treatment. He also does not order unnecessary tests.
SHC Patient, May 2015
Excellent doctor was very pleased with consult.
SHC Patient, Apr 2015

SHC Patient, Oct 2014
We arrived on time for the appt, and were seen in 10 minutes. Dr. Jaradeh spent ample time going over my history & current condition. Moreover, Dr. Jaradeh and technician (Lori) were excellent at answering questions about my condition, and related test results.

SHC Patient, Jul 2014
Dr. Jaradeh is the best! He always looks at the record to check what all the other doctors are doing as my case is very complicated. I wish I could find a primary care doctor who is as good as Dr. Jaradeh!
