Dr. Darbi Seely, MD

In addition to being unhelpful, this doctor was rude and confrontational. I made a phone appointment to talk about a case of bacterial pharyngitis. I explained to her that I was worried about past experiences with doctors refusing to prescribe antibiotics for bacterial pharyngitis because it wasn't strep, and that with a compromised immune system such as my own, several other common bacteria are able to cause symptoms mimicking strep. I explained that this was far from my first experience with bacterial pharyngitis, that it worried me how many doctors were ignorant of the fact that it didn't have to be strep. Instead of taking this in stride and realizing I was speaking of other doctors and not her, she scoffed before raising her voice and saying defensively, "so, what I'm hearing is that you think I'm ignorant. The appointment went downhill from their as I tried in futility to appeal to her sense of decency. In the end, she said she'd only prescribe antibiotics if I had strep.

Dr. Seely is an incredible provider! During my appointment she was extremely open, honest, and informative. I was almost in tears (the good kind of tears) because because of how she made me feel.

Dr. Seely listens to my concerns, uses language that is easy to understand, and always makes time to provide follow up information to my countless questions. She is the most approachable doctor I have ever worked with, and encourages dialogue with me to better understand the issues I bring to her. She's proved to be someone I will rely on for years to come, and I am thankful to have a doctor who cares so much about my health.

She’s the PCP for my wife and both of my daughters. I’ve sat through many visits and couldn’t recommend her more. Very kind and personable. You know she’s looking out for your best interests and is great at communicating with concerned parents. I sing her praises to anyone looking for a good doctor at kaiser.

At first I thought I found a doctor who might actually care and want to help but I was wrong. Dr. Seely is cold and not emphatic whatsoever. She took me off of my sleeping pills that I have never abused whatsoever. So I guess she wants me to continue getting 3 hours of sleep a night because I'm sure that's really helping my mental health... NOT.

Unlike my previous provider at Kaiser, Dr. Seely listens to me and respects me. She is kind and compassionate and communicates well. There are problems with scheduling, which has everything to do with Kaiser and nothing to do with her as an individual.
