What People are Saying About The University Health Clinic in Seattle:
Dr. Donovan’s Patients
From Yelp: Dr. Patrick Donovan is my personal physician. While his “bedside manner” is sometimes a bit strong, I have complete trust in his passionate desire for my health! As would any good doctor, he monitors my health, questions my lifestyle, and makes sound observations. I take the supplements that he recommends to stay out of trouble with him 
and I feel better for it.
Dr. Fahoum’s Patients
Dr. Mona got me off Snickers Bars, Coke, and Diet Coke. Not by being dogmatic and insistent like every other natural and alternative health care practitioner I’ve ever known. She did it by meeting me where I am, giving me gentle guidance in how to think through my diet, and knowing that this is a lifelong process of improving my health. Thanks to Dr. Mona, at 44, I’m healthier, more energetic and more positive about living a vibrant long life than I ever imagined.
Dr. Mona is intelligent, diligent, caring and sensitive–from my experience with doctors this is a rare combination. She has helped with find solutions for my constant anemia and most importantly we have found other solutions to aid my ulcerative colitis that is not prescription medicine. Currently, I take hardly any prescription drugs and I am living a healthy happy symptom-free life. I go to Dr. Mona for everything and she always finds an answer for me. She is more than a doctor–a confident and a friend and I recommend her to everyone.
From Yelp: First of all, I highly recommend Dr. Mona Fahoum as your Naturopathic Physician. She is thoughtful and caring and spent some quality time with me even though she was clearly having a stressful, jam-packed day at the office! She is kind and funny and spends MUCH more time with her patients than any M.D. you will ever find! Instead of the 15 minutes you get if you’re LUCKY with most physicians, Dr. Mona spent 45 with me, talking and listening before she ever did a physical exam! I am excited to have her as my new primary care physician.
I highly recommend this clinic for all of your healthcare needs! The space is cozy, the practitioners are great, they really care about you and give the personal attention that patients should ALWAYS be receiving!
From Yelp: Dr. Fahoum is the most thorough doctor I have been to yet. She really takes the time to listen and understand your needs. She really knows her stuff. She isn’t “preachy” about what you “should” be doing. Her approach to care is realistic and balanced for today’s busy lifestyle.
From Yelp: I think that Dr. Mona is one of the best doctors, she cares deeply about a patient’s overall well being. She educates you on why you are having the symptoms you are and does not throw drugs at you instead she helps you to make changes naturally to create better health. She is personable, listens well and extremely good at what she does. If you are looking for a healthy approach to healing please call Dr. Mona I know you will be very happy.
Dr. Hagen’s Patients
From Yelp: I am so happy I found Dr. Hagen. When I was diagnosed with mono this past July, the timing couldn’t have been worse with training for my first full marathon about to start. My doctor at the medical clinic where I was diagnosed pretty just said, “Well, there’s nothing we can do for you.”
After struggling with my energy level for about two months and feeling uneasy about how to approach my marathon training while still recovering, some friends suggested I see a naturopath. I had doubts that naturopathy would help, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to see. Was I ever wrong!
My first meeting with Dr. Hagen was impressive in the amount of time she took with me, gathering as much detail as she could about my illness, training schedule, family history, you name it. She also ran a full blood panel to gauge where my health was at, something I didn’t even know was a possibility. She found significant vitamin deficiencies and other havoc the mono was reaping with my body. Over the course of the next several months, she got me on a regiment of supplements and worked a coordinated treatment plan between my chiropractic, massage therapist, dietician sessions.
My energy level started increasing and I was able to keep up with an adjusted marathon training schedule without overdoing it. I can guarantee I would have never been able to run that marathon without her, and I probably would have landed myself in the hospital or worse.
I’ve continued seeing Dr. Hagen since the marathon and she’s helped me recover almost a 100 percent from my mono, soon to be a complete recovery as I continue her treatment plan. I am completely convinced in the power of naturopathy thanks to Dr. Hagen, and am thankful to have her as my primary doctor.
From LinkedIn: Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity
“Jana Hagen’s medical care is compassion in action. First by being a caring listener,I felt comfortable delving into my immediate concerns. As a knowledgeable advisor, Dr Jana was prepared with amazing alternative resources and a plan for my immediate needs. This stands out because this has happened only twice in my whole history. Recently when I came down with a sinus cold, Dr Jana called me to check in with me. Not only do I appreciate Dr Jana taking the time to connect with me in this busy world, I know she is someone I can count on in the future.” October 13, 2011
Nancy Paine Sherman’s Patients
I had reached a plateau on healing several chronic issues when I discovered Nancy Sherman and acupuncture. Her thoughtful approach, understanding my particular issues, and her careful application of treatment were keys to unlocking positive changes in my body. She allayed any apprehensins by our first meeting, answered all questions thoroughly, and I found myself so comfortable and trusting in her care, and so thrilled with the results, that I am now disappointed in the fact that I no longer require the same frequency of visits.
