Jamie Grebosky, MD
Family Provider
Hi, I’m Dr. Jamie Grebosky, and I am a Family Provider at Southern Indian Health Council. Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors! Hiking, mountain biking, trail running, and kayaking are some of my favorite activities. I also have a golden retriever who loves joining me on adventures. When I’m not outside, I enjoy reading about natural history and traveling to new places. A fun fact about me is that I used to be a competitive wrestler; I was a national Prep School champion and a starter for Lehigh University. I earned my biology degree from Lehigh University, my MD from Penn State College of Medicine, and a Master’s degree from Harvard University. I completed my residency in Family Practice at Eastern Virginia School of Medicine, where I also enjoyed spending time at the beach. One thing I love about working at SIHC is the closeness and collegiality of the team, as well as the opportunity to connect with and learn from Native culture. It’s an honor to provide care to our community and to be part of a team that values compassion, tradition, and excellence.

Robert Calvert, DO
Family Provider
Hello, I’m Dr. Robert Calvert, and I am a Family Physician at Southern Indian Health Council. I come from Austrian and English ancestry and grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah. I attended medical school at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California, and later served as a physician in the U.S. Navy, with duty stations in Oceanside, CA and Fallon, NV. As a Naval Flight Surgeon stationed in the rural base of Fallon I gained valuable experience in a rural clinic setting, learning how to manage a broad spectrum of conditions in primary care while recognizing when specialty care was needed. During my time in the Navy, I encountered substance use disorders among many of the sailors under my care. I saw firsthand how alcohol and other substances were often used as a means to self-medicate, cope with trauma, or navigate family challenges—many of which stemmed from unresolved personal struggles or military-related experiences. Unfortunately, the military’s approach to substance use frequently led to punitive action and separation from service rather than treatment and support. Feeling disillusioned by this system, I pursued further training outside the military, completing a civilian family medicine residency at the University of Utah, followed by a fellowship in Addiction Medicine. I am excited to join Southern Indian Health Council and work alongside patients to help them achieve their wellness goals. I strongly believe in a holistic approach to healthcare—addressing mind, body, and spirit—which aligns with SIHC’s commitment to providing care beyond the exam room. SIHC’s dedication to serving the community with comprehensive, culturally sensitive, and patient-centered care is what drew me to this role. I am well-versed in all aspects of primary care, including preventative care, women’s health, contraception, chronic disease management, and in-office procedures. With my additional expertise in addiction medicine, I am committed to providing compassionate, judgment-free care for those struggling with alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and other substance use disorders. My goal is to empower patients with the tools and support they need to regain control of their health and well-being.
Janessa Peralta, MD
Pediatrician
Hi, I’m Dr. Janessa Peralta, and I am a pediatrician at Southern Indian Health Council. Outside of work, I enjoy reading and visiting new places. I completed my Medical Degree at the University of the Philippines and completed my pediatrics residency at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine-Elmhurst Hospital Center in New York. One thing I love about working at SIHC is the adequate amount of resources and support it provides to its members. It’s an honor to provide care to our community and to be part of a team that values compassion, tradition, and excellence.
Steven Granada, MD
Geriatric Provider
My name is Dr. Steven Granada, and I am a trained Internal Medicine physician specializing in the care of adults, particularly elderly patients with complex medical conditions. Over the course of my career, I have worked extensively in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including ICU care and collaborative outpatient management with specialists, social services, and caregivers. I have had the privilege of serving Indigenous communities through various roles, including my work with Indian Health Services and community clinics. These experiences have deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally informed care. Now based in San Diego, I am excited to join SIHC to continue serving patients in need, particularly those with complex health needs, while contributing to the organization's mission.
Peter Seymour, MD
Psychiatrist
Hi, I'm Dr. Pete Seymour, I'm a physician specializing in psychiatry at Southern Indian Health Council. Outside of work I enjoy walking my dog Bodhi and listening to music (I have a larger collection of opera recordings and also enjoy 60s bands). A fun fact about me is that I played college football with a Super Bowl MVP (no kidding!). I earned my MD degree from Boston University and completed psychiatric residency training at UCSD. I'm also board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. One thing I love about working at SIHC is the wonderful support staff who allow me to focus on working with my patients!
Karl Jacobs, MD
Psychiatrist
My name is Karl Jacobs, and I am a Board-certified Psychiatrist with additional certification in Addiction Medicine. I completed my undergraduate studies in chemistry with honors at UC Santa Cruz, then spent a year as a lab technician at UCLA before earning my medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA. I was proud to attend Emory on a Navy Health Professions Scholarship and serve as an officer in the U.S. Navy. I completed my internship and psychiatric residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego, with specialized service at the 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, where I served as both a battalion surgeon and later as Division Psychiatrist. After completing my military service, I transitioned to civilian practice and have worked in a wide range of psychiatric settings including VA care, private practice, and community mental health. I am passionate about delivering thoughtful, compassionate care and have pursued advanced training in psychotherapy and clinical research. I’m honored to be part of the team at SIHC and to serve a community rooted in strength, tradition, and healing.
