She is a very nice lady, but didn't help our daughter's serious mental illness. Sessions involved very little other than our daughter talking about everything, except her symptoms. She saw Dr. Chann for several years, before we tried elsewhere. read more

I got referred to her by my PCP for continued treatment for ADD. This lady does a psychosocial on you that is heavily focused on childhood. She then tried to tell me since I haven't been fired from multiple jobs and because I have childhood trauma i dont have ADHD and that she wasn't going to give me ADHD medication until further testing. I told her I'm completely out of medication and do not want to suffer from withdrawals. She said she needs a a psychologist to test me first. She then told me to Come see her next week so she can get to know me better. Eff that. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time. She is very biased and selectively listens to what you are saying. She does not try to work with you but does what her ego tells her to do with your treatment. read more

My first psychiatrist, so I'm a rookie, but I still don't think this is how it's supposed to work. First visit it took 45mins past the appointment to be seen even though I did the paperwork 15 mins before the appointment. Kind of seemed like she glossed over everything, kept it short and wrote me a script for ADHD. Saw her NP for regular visits. Was diagnosed with depression later, tried to work through it with therapy, but due to a brig break down my PCP placed me on a medication for awhile. Came back a year later for a depression medication advisement because I had some side effects crop up. Meeting with her again, it took 1 hour to be seen after my appointment time. She did not recognize my depression. And gave me a very general, you have to motivate yourself speech. It was as if she had never heard of what depression is like. She devalued my problem and said the side effects were probably anxiety based, even though I did not experience anxiety or stress during the flair ups and is actually a side effect of the drug. It's not an uncommon anti-depressant. It's what her profession is supposed to be educated on. She then wanted me to take a different anti-depressant after I confronted her about devaluing depression. Suffice to say, I'm looking for a new psychiatrist. read more

All of the negative reviews here are reflective of my experience. Poor people skills, facilities not clean, she kept leaving in the middle of my appointment for what seemed like personal calls. Not kidding, upwards of 10 times she left to angrily talk with someone on the phone. read more

The Doctor's staff is friendly and helpful. My wait times never exceed over twenty minutes. Dr. Chann explains all the pros and cons of different types of medications. She actually conducts some talk therapy and recommends alternative s to medication , like mindfulness meditation. My life is much more manageable now and I'm happy. Highly recommend her! read more

I was a patient of Dr. Jagmeet for about 2+ years. EVERY time I had to wait anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half from my appointment time. There was never any apologies made by her or her staff. After waiting she'd rush through my appointments. I've also seen her staff ask patients to see her assistant last minute because she falls so behind. If you expect a 24 hour notice to cancel our appointments then we need a 24 hour notice that we won't be able to actually see the doctor. Another note, I have been to several psychiatrists in the past years so I have some experience. I did not feel heard from her. I would never recommend her to anyone. She clearly isn't in it to actually support her patients. read more

When I would advocate for myself, she was rude and ignored what I said. I had done years of research on my bipolar issues but Dr. Chann brushed me off if I suggested anything. Finally, i agreed, when Dr. Chann she could not help me. Her office staff was great,, although they looked stressed out.. Always had to wait for an hour or more. read more

I have the honor of having this preeminent physician as my doctor many years past. Dr. J Chann, wife, mother, DR, is the definition of what any psychiatrist can be for a patient. The best of the best, her devotion to patients and myself, I can not define. She helped me get my life back. I left her counsel with more understanding and self-confidence and tools to move forward and confront difficulties, trials, loss, and renewed happiness. read more

I needed medication for my ADHD. Took a few different stimulants throughout my childhood and adulthood, then took a few years off medication. Dr. Chann spent 15 minutes with me. Asked me questions, and as I answered, cut me off before I could even finish a sentence, to ask me another question. I felt rushed and stupid and unimportant as I tried to stumble through questions about my childhood, depression, anxiety, ADHD, my dead mom... "well my mom died my junior year of college and that was pretty hard--" "and how were your grades in college?" After all that, she recommended a medication, concerta. I said "okay but I've taken that before and had really bad side effects. Is there a reason I can't just have adderall? It's been the best I've taken with the least side effects. Took it for years. Here's my prescription bottle." She said okay that's fine, adderall it is, pending the results of my EKG from my primary. Two weeks later I come back to finally get my prescription. I wait an hour past my appointment time, in a crowded waiting room of people doing the same. They finally call me back and ask me how I'm doing on my concerta. I say uhhh you haven't given me my medication. And concerta is the one that gives me horrible side effects, I thought I was getting adderall. They say they'll talk to Dr. Chann about this. Then they don't have my EKG results, even though my primary said she has faxed the results over TWICE. So they charge me my copay and send me on my way with nothing. After an hour of waiting. For nothing. Today they call and say "your prescription is ready!" But it's for the medication that gives me horrible side effects (messes with my appetite, horrible headaches). I say uhhh Dr. Chann said she would prescribe adderall. They say they'll talk to Dr. Chann and call me back. Probably in another two weeks. Meanwhile I'm starting a new difficult job AND grad school and cannot focus on anything for more than 30 seconds. Awesome. Dr. Chann cares more about getting as many patients in as she can every day (for those billable hours $$$$) than she cares about any one of those patients. Complete lack of communication or care coordination. She does not listen. She does not care. Do not go here. read more

I saw the dr only once, I waited almost 1 hour met with her for a little over 1/2 hour. I was told I would meet with her for about 1 hour since I was a new patient. While giving her some background and info on myself she cut me off in The middle of my sentence and said she was giving me a prescription and she was going to be on vacation but that I would be meeting with her PA which I was not happy about. I didn't get a good feeling about our first meeting and decided not to return. read more

I had the worst experience with Jagmeet. I waited a month to get an appointment with her then had to wait almost two hours to see her. When I finally got seen by her, she was very rude and cold. She made me talk about my childhood and events in my life that were very painful with no compassion or understanding. She focused on odd details like how many schools I went to as a child and the names of the schools. Why do those details matter? It made uncomfortable. Then she kept asking me about my grades and how I did in school. All for her to be dismissive of my feelings and tell me she can't treat me because she doesn't prescribe the medication I've been on for years. Why would she make me relive all those painful events in my life. All for her to tell my she can't help me? Please save yourself the time and pain and money!!! She doesn't care about people. It's unfortunate that she's a psychiatrist. read more

I have seen Jagmeet 4 times. First as an advocate to help me further a regimen that was prescribed to me by my previous psychiatrist as I'd switched insurance. Eventually my symptoms worsened and I needed additional support. She increased my medication which introduced more issues and then cancelled my follow up appointment in which I was going to request going back down and ask for a therapist/program recommendation for further help. While in limbo trying to get a rescheduled appointment, I was sexually assaulted. When I finally got back in to see her TWO HOURS after my scheduled appointment and talked to her about this, she told me that it was my fault because I had two drinks the evening of the event. She tried to send me to 90days of AA and out patient rehab because 5 years ago I I had a substance abuse problem, and then tried to prescribe me two additional medications. One of which I told her I took in the past and suffered very negative side affects with. Not only did she, as a medical professional, but also a woman try to accuse a victim of being responsible for their traumatic experience but also severely set me back in my course for self help. This was the most disgusting experience I have ever had. I hope no one will ever have an encounter with this person, especially not someone who is vulnerable and in search of help. read more

I first went to Dr. Chann after getting an OCD, GAD, and Bipolar 2 diagnosis. I was really hesitant to be put on Lithium but she said it was the only thing that would help me. I agreed and it has helped significantly. However, Lithium is an incredibly strong medication and requires blood testing every three months to make sure liver and thyroid function aren't failing. The doctor would tell me she needed to see me in two weeks and then the front desk girls would tell me the earliest they could get me in was 4-6 weeks and i would have to come at the same time as a new patient and to just try to get there first. I was 20 minutes early and still didnt get their first so i was expected to wait over an hour to see the doctor. Then after them scheduling me this way about 3 times I refused and asked them to call me when something was open. Needless to say I havent been since December. I havent had my blood drawn. Now I am experiencing an intense and scary side effect and when I called to ask a question they tried scheduling me for two weeks out. The doctor refused to answer any questions unless I came in to the office. I'm fine with coming in but if this is a life-threatening side effect they are not putting proper care into their patients. I feel like if I would have never called they would have abandoned me as a patient after prescribing an incredibly strong and life-altering medication. read more

Horrible. Don't go to Dr. Chann. She is not interested in the well being of individual patients. Her main interest is packing as many people she can for her daily meditation classes which she has seemingly non stop. From what I gather waiting for an hour and a half for each of my 4 appointments, she charges $120 a person for a six week course. She basically tried to squeeze you in between her class breaks. Horrible. Does not value your time as a person. Also, during sessions she comes off very arrogant and unapproachable. read more

I agree with everything Sean S. says. This practice is a joke. As a soon-to-be ex-patient, I have not felt respected by Dr. Chann, who I saw once in four visits. The other visits I was handed off to the P.A. The front office staff is nice and professional but that's the only positive thing I can say. For each visit I waited a minimum of 1.5 hours. The P.A. said this was the office's normal way of handling patients. On my last visit (five days ago), the entire lobby full of patients -- including people who came after me -- emptied before I was seen. Apparently, I was supposed to see Dr. Chann but she "skipped over" me, according to the P.A. I was suspicious of this practice early on because ordinary psychiatrist doctors ask to see patients every 3 - 6 months. I was told to come back three times in three months, meaning more money in their pockets. On the last visit when I expressed displeasure at my experience, the P.A. smiled as I told her. I kept expecting her to break out in laughter. I've been trying for two days to get a hold of someone to get a refill. Their phone message says they are "closed," but the exchange says they are open. I've left two messages but have not heard back. This is a horrible, horrible practice. read more

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and often have patients who need to see a psychiatrist. I often recommend Dr. Chann because of the good care my patients receive there. She prescribes medication when needed and not when unnecessary. She is caring and really takes time with each patient. My patients have all had great experiences with her and her PA. read more

Will never be back . Doctor doesn't have much concern for her patients and rarely sees them . 99% of the time you see her PA . Don't even think about calling the office on a Friday because that's when Dr leaves early and will not address any patient concerns . I called the office Friday at 11:20am and asked if the lady could leave a message for the doctor , she said no because the doctor is getting ready to leave . So she hadn't left yet , but since she would be leaving soon she was unwilling to take a message . read more

I started seeing Jagmeet in January. On May 25, I told her that I wasn't really feeling better. She seem taking back by what I said. And I just told her I've been coming here and talking too you and you have offended no advice or any suggestions all you have done is prescribed meds, Well it's not easy for me to come here dealing with everything that I deal with...I come for help. and what Jagmeet said next " you don't have to come here" I ask her do you know what kind of doctor you are???? I can't believe you just said that... needless too say I have filed a complaint with MDC.CA.GOV and will never go to this absolutely uncaring "doctor" again...... read more

Dr. Chann is a joke. I am not a patient, but attended a session with a friend as support. She talks more about how wonderful she is than addressing the concerns of her patient. She noted that she was so good by how many patients were in the waiting room. She obviously overbooks, makes people wait. So unprofessional. She took over a month to send in a referral. Some stupid excuse that she had to wait for the paperwork. Does she not have a computer ? Know about scanning or faxing ? My friend shared about her appointment today. She questioned her about a side affect from a medication. Instead of addressing that, she was going to add a new one to counteract the side effects. Maybe lower the dosage ? She prides herself in knowing meds, what a joke. Then she harassed my friend for having to write a new prescription. In the end she basically asked her to find a new doctor. Verdict: she figured out we have her number. We challeged her, she didn't like it. This is a very arrogant, condescending lady. A physciatrist ? Don't think so. read more
