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.

Thorough, thoughtful, excellent communicator
Dr. Jaren has been crucial in helping my chronic migraine condition. He is thorough in his examination, very thoughtful, and takes care to explain completely treatment options. Truly a blessing to my health.

I saw Dr. Jaren today for a Nerve Conduction study, which I was very nervous about. He helped me relax and the study was a piece of cake. If you can stand the feeling of getting a rubber band snapped against you, you can easily do this test, a rubber band is much worse! He also spent a lot of time with me and answered all of my questions.

Frustrating experience. Didn't listen to me. Believes in acupuncture despite it not being effective.

After spending a year and a 1/2 with another doctor i wasn't having my issues addressed properly. When I changed to Dr. Jaren I immediately saw results. At the 1st appointment changes to my medications were made and I immediately started to feel better. Dr. Jaren listened to my issues then spent time to explain how he felt changes in my treatment would help. Changes made a world of difference. Dr. Jaren is quick to respond to emails through the patient portal... even on weekends! At appointments I fully understand the treatment and Dr. Jaren makes sure I have no questions! Highly recommended Dr. Jaren!

After seeing 4 neurologists and being told there was nothing more they could do for me, I found Dr Jaren. He listens, knows his stuff, has a calm manner and has the quickest response time of any doctor I have seen. Highly recommended.

Dr. Jaren is an outstanding neurologist; certainly, the best I've had the good fortune to work with. In my case, he was able to analyze the MRI's I've had over several years, review the work of two other prominent neurologists and order the most reveling and useful tests I've received. He was able to more accurately and completely incorporate the results of a very old traumatic brain injury into my current MRI studies and significantly modify my diagnosis and prognosis.

I'm suprised that another reviewer felt Dr. Jaren didn't listen to them. I did not have that impression at all. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends / family.
