She is knowledgeable, patient, very thorough, and best of all, cares for her patients as people, and not for profit. If you're trying to decide who to have as your rheumatologist, pick Dr. Foster. I wish she could be my rheumatologist forever.

Catherine Jiam-Seagren was very thorough and took her time during her exam. She checked my body, asked many questions and follow-up questions, took lots of notes, looked up previous records to compare, and made sure that I would go to other annual checks. She is very polite and attentive. Great doctor, I highly recommend her!

Finding Dr. Jiam Seagren has been a fantastic experience. From the first appointment I felt heard…read more she took the time to walk through my full health history, asked thoughtful follow up questions, and explained everything in clear, patient friendly terms. The staff were helpful and the office environment was calm and efficient. When I later had some lab concerns, she reached out personally with a plan and made sure I understood next steps. What I appreciate most is that she balances professionalism with genuine care. you leave the appointment not only informed, but cared for. For anyone looking for a thoughtful, involved primary care physician in the Orinda area, I highly recommend her.

I am also bummed that she is closing her practice. I was only able to interact with her a few…read moretimes. After multiple medical errors over the years by other doctors, that many doctors refused to properly document, she took the effort to review my records and provide the most accurate medical record that I have had since the first error in 2010- proving to be the most ethical doctor I have ever interacted with. It takes a special person to stand up against the flow in medical systems. She is that type of person. The type that would stand up and say that is wrong. Ethical enough not to work for system that were no aligned with her ethical integrity. A very rare find. She even found the root cause of the of the issues that were missed for years along with doing a very thorough GI work up-greatly improving symptoms and lessening risk damaging other organs. Noting that I have been going to a Functional Medicine GI doctor and did not have such a thorough GI work up. I wish her the best and hope that everything is ok with her. We are not sure why she ended up closing her practice, I hope everything is good, but rating her closing her practice is not rating her as the excellent doctor she is. I wish that someone as smart and ethical as her would be filling the space-but that isn't happening-sadly.

So bummed she is closing her practice because she is the best PCP (if not one of the best doctors)…read moreI've had! I started seeing Dr. Michaud last year after my former FNP (and awful GI doc) ignored some serious symptoms. She has a great bedside manner, is smart, proactive, and thinks outside of the box. She even came up with possible diagnoses other specialists missed. Although we never figured out the cause, she took EVERYTHING I told her VERY seriously. As a veteran patient, I cannot count how many doctors downplay or ignore serious symptoms. Dr. Michaud not only does the opposite of those doctors but should also teach other doctors how to take their patients' concerns seriously. I was able to get in the following week after scheduling as a new patient and never had difficulty getting appointments. Her receptionist, Annabelle, and her MA, Rachel are friendly and helpful. I wish I found her sooner and had more time to be her patient. Thanks Dr. Michaud for listening to me and helping me as well as serving as an example for the care I hope to provide my patients as a family physician one day!

I appreciated that she gave me the option not to do blood work, not only because she thought I was dehydrated but also saved me time and money. Plus, I have a low pain tolerance and avoid getting blood work unless I need it. Instead, she prescribed Zantac and it worked amazingly! Though I've only seen her once, her honesty, caring bedside manner and ability to listen to her patients are reasons i would recommend her and not hesitate to see her again if needed.

Dr. Anthony is wonderful. She is kind, she listens, she takes the time to hear what is going on…read more She is not a give-em-a-pill kind of doctor. She practices integrated medicine and promotes healthy living and a balanced life. Now, I must be honest, I don't always take her advice. But she never makes me feel bad, she just smiles and ties again. Gently. The only reason I would not give her 4 stars is because she is always late. Always. I advise calling ahead to see how she is doing so that you don't have to wait so long. Because once you get in with her, you get the same attention that she gave to other folks, which caused her to be late. She is great. I really trust her.
