FEATURED REVIEW

OVERVIEW

Shida Saam D.O.’s mission is to provide personalized, high-quality care on an as-needed or preventative basis. We have created a practice that we believe in and choose for our own family members.

Shida Saam, D.O.  is board certified in Family Practice and Geriatrics. Dr. Saam chose to focus on family practice and preventive medicine because she enjoys helping her patients maintain optimum health through both traditional and alternative medicine. She takes a holistic approach to medicine by incorporating integrative therapies, as appropriate to the patient’s individual need.

“It is important to develop a trusting relationship with patients and encourage them to participate in the treatment and decision making process,” says Dr. Saam. “Forming a partnership with my patients enables us to work together to improve their health and well-being.” Dr. Saam is fluent in English, Spanish and Farsi, and has a private practice located next to the future Hoag Hospital Irvine.

As a mother of two children, she also relates to the importance of children’s well-being. Her practice offers vaccination for children and annual preventive care. She is affiliated with HOAG Hospital, St. Joseph, Western Medical Hospital in Santa Ana, and Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills. Most insurances are accepted such as HMO plans, PPO plans, and Medicare.

"Dr. Saam was compassionate and took time to listen and to give feedback. She quickly ordered tests and followed up. I am choosing to have her be my new primary because she spent so much time listening and sharing and acting. The office staff were very kind and it was easy to book an appointment promptly. I am grateful! "

"I have been seeing Dr Saam for over a decade. She is kind and caring. Straight to the point and doesn't waste yours or her time. She will make the time to listen if you need her to. The new patient portal is excellent. I can send her a message and she'll respond within hours. No need to leave a message with her office staff (who all are very nice and sweet, btw) and wait for days. I had a change in insurance carrier. She was not on the list of doctors accepting this particular insurance company. She told me to let my new insurance carrier know that she will accept me. What an awesome doctor!...which is very hard to find."

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
