Seeme V Ahmad, MD

I love my profession, as it allows me to help my patients and to help relieve their suffering. I entered the medical field because it is a profession where you can make a difference in people’s lives. I joined Kaiser Permanente in 2003. I practice outpatient general psychiatry and addiction psychiatry. I am very interested in women's health through the different phases of their lives. I like direct communication with our members and always encourage them to contact me if needed. I also have a leadership role which I combine with my clinical practice. I believe in keeping a balance in life and I always want to practice what I advise for our members. I believe that unless you have created a balance in your life, you cannot be effective for your patients.I am an early riser and go to bed early. I exercise every morning for 30 minutes before I go to work and try to eat healthy foods. I continue to work on stress management, as I know that stress can impact life quality. For me, life is dynamic and I like to make small positive changes every day to keep improving and moving forward.
