Dr. Craig seal saved my life....
I was suffering with PPD (unknowingly & severely) after my son was born. I asked a family friend who's a psychiatrist in Texas to give me a recommendation of a doc in PHX that could help me. (Because I was asking a Psych for a referral, I assumed he was sending me a psychiatrist). Totally trusting, I ended up making an appt with Dr. Seal. I arrived at his office and realized I had made an appointment with an OB/GYN (which I didn't need).
I walked in anyway and the staff was so kind and supportive. They said that i should see him anyway &
if I wasn't satisfied they'd give me a referral
& personally call and get me in right away if I so chose. Dr. Seal is the most aware & educated physician that I've encountered. He's run/participated in many studies read the research, & understands the importance of how women's bodies/ hormones change over different stages. Also, he understands how before, during & after childbirth can have an affect other female systems, the brain, the body, etc. he's the only doctor I've met who's a) made the connection and b) is on the cutting edge of research and c) is willing to treat the whole woman. I now live outside of AZ, but am going to fly back just to see Dr. Seal. Every OB & psych should take a page out of this brilliant physician's book!

I went to Dr. Seal about 23 yrs ago & thought he was the absolute best dr there was at the time. He actually delivered my last 2 babies & I felt like he really cared about his patients & knew so much about everything. We have since moved to Utah & my 16 yr old daughter has a rare stomach problem & I suspected she has endometreosis also. I decided we should make the effort to take her to Dr. Seal since I didn't know any really good gyn/ob doctors here in Utah. We set up the apt & traveled down there. He didn't do any blood work & just felt her stomach & decided that she probably had endo. He said we should have a laparoscopy. This was in Nov so I told him we needed to have it done before the end of the yr since my deductible was met. We scheduled it for the week right before Christmas, which was going to be very difficult for us driving all that way & especially since my daughter was so very ill. I called the office before we came & they told me that everything was in order so off we went. It's a 10 hr drive & it was so hard getting my sick daughter up early for the apt to do the pre-op. We got to his office on time & waited & waited & waited! They put up a sign saying they were behind schedule about an hour so I asked if we could go out to our camper to rest for a bit. The recep was very snipety & said if we were called while we were out we would just miss out on our apt!! When we 1st got there I heard a patient talking to the recep & they were telling her that she owed $50 since she missed her previous apt. She told them that she had called & left a message & they said they would have to check but if they couldn't find it she would have to pay. It seems to me that all they care about it getting money!! Well, we finally got back to see Dr. Seal & you won't believe this....he comes in & says, "well I have some bad news. There's been a mess up with the scheduling & we won't be able to do your daughters surgery." I was totally speechless!! I said, "You do realize we have driven clear from Utah 2 times just to see you & have this surgery?" All he said was, "Yes, I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do about it." Then he proceeds to go on as if nothing was wrong talking about how we should just put her on a progesterone pill to stop her periods & we would know if it was endo if she felt better after that. Why didn't he mention doing that on the 1st visit???? I kept saying, "Are you serious? I can't believe we drove all this way & you can't even do the surgery!!" He just kept saying he was sorry & there's nothing he can do about it. Ok, it gets worse!! My daughter who lives 45 min from his office had an apt with him later that same day. Since one of my other daughters is already going to him & he has her take her temp 3x a day to monitor her thyroid, this 2nd daughter had been doing that so she could show him when she went for the visit. As she was on the way there she called me & told me that she had forgotten the paper she'd written her temps on. I told her she would probably need them so she called his office & one of the med assistants told her that he would want to see them so she should go back & get them. She told her that she would be late for the apt & she said it was ok & she would let the front desk know. By the time she got there she was about 1/2 hr late & they said, "I'm sorry, you're too late, you will have to come back another time." My daughter was in tears & begged them to let her see him since at her last apt he had to go deliver a baby & she didn't get to see him then & she had been waiting a month. They had no compassion & just said it was their rules. Well....it gets even worse!! We came back to Utah & my daughter started on the pill he prescribed & a week & a half after starting she began to have a period with severe cramps. I called Dr. Seal's office & it was a Thurs & left a message telling them what happened. A med assistant called me back on Fri morn before my very sick daughter was out of bed & asked if she was still bleeding. I told her the night before she was but she wasn't awake yet so I wasn't sure. She said to call back when she got up to let them know. She was still bleeding quite a bit so I called & left a message early that afternoon & got no response that day. I called again on Mon morn & left a message & still got no response. Tues morn I called again & left a message & told them I was very worried about her & can you believe I still have NOT heard anything at all from them & it is now Wed night!!! Dr. Seal & his staff are TERRIBLE!! I have found another Dr. up here & I'm sure he will be much better, someone would really have to work hard to be as bad as them!! I am encouraging my daughter who has been going to him to find another dr. I agree with the previous reviews when they said he is just in it for the money & recommends things for you to try that could be detrimental to your health.
