Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rude
Incredibly condescending and rude for accidentally not calling her 'doctor' when reaching out to her for the first time to see if she had any availability.

Great Doctor
I cannot put into words how integral Christine was in changing my life for better, both directly and indirectly. I wasn't ready to hear a lot of the things she told me at the time when she was my doctor, but she was so right about so many things. Also, she went above and beyond to find ways to continue to see me after my employer changed my insurance. Because her demeanor is so matter-of-fact, it may be easy to miss that she has a wealth of knowledge and an abundance of compassion and understanding.

Dr. Saroian saved me. I went to her after being hospitalized and got my life back. She slowly weaned me off the ton of medications I was on down to one that works. Her combination therapy and medication treatment ensured she really got to know me and what I needed. That was the key to my success. Very few doctors take the time to do that anymore. She is always on call and willing to take calls from my husband if I get hypomanic. She set up prn or as needed medicine I could immediately take in that situation, under her direction. She is the best doctor ever!

I having been seeing Dr. Saroian for 8 years. I had had some previous bad experiences with medication prescribed by other doctors. She is extremely knowledgeable and has come up with a very effective treatment plan. She is more direct than many Psychchiatrists, which I appreciate. I am very confident in her decisions regarding my medical care. Her depth of knowledge and thoughtfulness is much appreciated.

I have been seeing Dr. Saroian for over 7 years. She has always been readily accessible and very competent in treating me. She has adjusted my medications with great effect and is always courteous and professional.

Condescending, lazy, and incompetent. Told me to go to my PCP to get blood tests to monitor what the drugs she was prescribing me were doing to me. Wanted to diagnose me with hypochondria when I was tapering off of the drugs bc she didn't believe such withdrawal symptoms could exist. Not to mention, her and previous psychiatrists were treating me for Borderline Personality Disorder..turns out I'm autistic. If you want to be made sicker physically and made to feel worthless, she's your doctor!

I have been treated horribly for Kaiser for the last year. Two hospitalizations and many med changes. It has been the most horrible year of my life, then I got to see Dr. Saroian and the light is in my world again. She spend two hours getting my history and basically educated me about my mental health. Dr. Saroian is up to date with meds and treatments. She is easy to connect with and truly shows compassion. I finally have hope again! So grateful!
