There's not enough room to compliment Dr. Seaholm, very laid back, very approachable. Always on top of all my medical needs, we have been through a lot with him from traumatic car accidents to Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis. I trust no one more than him and my adult son also goes to him, and we love him. Best doctor I ever had, period!! :)

Dr. Seaholm always listens to my issue without judgement. He doesn't just chalk everything up to weight, like others Dr:s I've seen at northshore.
