    I went in feeling a lot of pain and fear about what might be wrong. Dr. Kaiser took the time to listen to me, examine me thoroughly, and talk to me about everything she was seeing. She presented me with a few options and let me help decide what worked best for me. I felt very cared for as a person.

    Dr. Kaiser made sure to explain everything in a way I understood, was kind, and made me feel comfortable during a procedure that I had been nervous about. I would definitely see her again for my care and appreciated all the effort her team put in to making my experience as good as possible for the circumstances.
