Dr Jaya is knowledgeable, however, she lacks empathy. I didn’t like her approach, basically, l couldn’t ask any questions. She wanted to do all the talking, her strategy as a doctor is okay, but she doesn’t give you alternatives. While she was thorough describing my condition, she was not compassionate.

Dr. Jaya is only laser-focused on suppressing the symptoms and does not think what is causing it. This is a big problem for most doctors but for Jaya especially because she is not ready to listen to her patients. Dr. Jaya - listen and prescribe less medicines and look at alternative medicines.

Dr. Jaya is expert and compassionate! I love her straight forward & efficient style. Despite a busy practice she follows up in a timely basis-- often going above & beyond to make sure I have the information I need. if you read her bio & statement & then meet her, you will see they are spot on!

I saw Dr. Jaya when she was in Auburn and am so disappointed she moved... she was the easiest to talk to and so HELPFUL with everything. Took her time and LISTENED.... You all are lucky to have her in the Issaquah area!

I love DR. Jaya. She is patient with me, trys to explain the dangers of my diabetes and I have never had to wait for my appointments. I learn something new everytime I go to her office. She is probably one of the best doctors I have ever had. She explains everything and why I need to do the things she asks of me. And she listens to my questions and understands I have a life outside of diabetes....
