UofU Patient August 22, 2016i have never had such a good doctor appointment. i felt as though the doctor actually cared about me and what I had to say. she spent so Long talking to me abut everything! this was amazing!!! she also did not push anything she felt I wouldn't want like medication. really amazing to feel listened to and values as a patient.
UofU Patient August 05, 2016I would recommend this care provider to people I know. I felt very comfortable with her and understood her reasoning.
UofU Patient July 02, 2016I enjoyed my time with this care provider
UofU Patient June 17, 2016Outstanding! The best!
UofU Patient June 16, 2016she did not respond to my email message a month ago and in my opinion the entire appointment could have been done through my chart email. there was no examination needed
UofU Patient May 21, 2016i have confidence in Dr. Leiser and feel like i am in good hands.
UofU Patient March 31, 2016Good
UofU Patient March 28, 2016MD interaction was online, in person was blood draw and front office.
UofU Patient March 27, 2016Dr. Lieser is a polished diamond of a doctor. i have been seeing specialists for going on 3 years, I was tested, MRT'd, Endoscopised, to no end. Every specialist informed me that my test was negative. they all forgot that i saw them because my mouth was full of liquid in the morning. Finally i was lucky to find a new family doctor for me. Dr. leiser, listened. Something very rare now a day. She really listened, she asked many questions and she took her time, she never looked at her watch and informed she can spend with me 5 minutes because she is so busy. The most important part she gave me the correct diagnosis. i thought that was a lost art in this country. i thought doctors are in the business of testing and only testing. yes Doctor Lieser still use this capability called diagnosing. She tolled me you have a sinus problem and she prescribed good old flonase with a small container to do nose wash with some salt and bicarbonate. After my first nasal wash, i felt an immediate and strange relief and the ability to breath better.I don't know how so many ENT specialists did not notice that my liquid accumulation was due to a sinus issue. Any way Dr, lieder is worth her weight in gold.
UofU Patient February 26, 2016I can't say enough good about Dr. Leiser, she is so compassionate and I felt she was there to meet all my needs. I really feel she was an answer to prayer. All my friends and family want to have her services now. She is wonderful.
UofU Patient February 14, 2016I do recommend Dr. Leiser to others.
UofU Patient January 29, 2016Dr. Jennifer Paul Leiser is a great doctor. she was AMAZING! She went above & beyond to help me. My appointment was 6:45pm but she is really be patient with me to answered all the questions. She very good - helpful, kind & insightful.
UofU Patient January 28, 2016It was our first appointment with Dr. Leiser and we are very impressed. She was very thorough and caring, and explained everything so that we could understand what is going on with my daughter. It was late evening visit, but she took enough time to ask us all the symptoms and to explain us our concerns. We felt we could trust her. She set the follow-up exam for us right there, and even called us the next day to check on our daughter. Absolutely will recommend Dr. Leiser to anyone we know!
UofU Patient November 03, 2015Care trying to find problem and considerate.
UofU Patient October 31, 2015Excellent - I felt so well cared for.
UofU Patient October 27, 2015Dr Leiser is a caring and professional physician. We are grateful to be her patients.
UofU Patient October 26, 2015Turns out my scheduled appointment was only for 15 minutes, which was a bit of a surprise, and most likely due to my not being specific about needs when I made the appointment. Required me making a second appointment to accomplish goal of good history and physical as part of establishing care with new primary provider.
UofU Patient September 18, 2015I felt she was dismissive of my concerns.
UofU Patient August 29, 2015I can't say enough good about Dr. Leiser. She gave me a challenge to exercise and to lower my A1C. I did that with changes in my diet with great success. (A1C from 8.8 to 5.6). I would not have done that without her assistance and encouragement.
UofU Patient August 17, 2015Dr. Leiser was very thorough, caring and informative. She helped me sort out a number of previous problems that had been handled by other departments. I trust her explicitly!
UofU Patient August 04, 2015I tried to get a "new patient appointment" as I had not seen this provider yet, and needed to establish care , having just moved to Utah. But, because I had an acute problem for which I saw the PA 2 weeks previously (provider I had chosen was on vacation), I could only get a 15 minute appointment. Dr. Leiser took her time, answered all my questions, renewed maintenance meds, ordered labs and made referrals that I needed. I saw her for 30+ minutes so I know some patient following me had to wait. I wish the scheduler would not have been so hard and fast with the rule, that since I had been seen once, I was already an established patient.
UofU Patient July 02, 2015Dr Leiser has been my doc for over 14 years. Trust her judgmenet and like her a lot!
UofU Patient June 11, 2015Dr. Leiser is always excellent, and I always look forward to seeing her. She has given me invaluable encouragement to address my health condition. I'm doing great thanks to her.

UofU Patient October 31, 2014Dr. Leiser seems highly diversified knowledge in general medicine.

UofU Patient October 25, 2014I feel very lucky to have Dr Leiser as my GP.
UofU Patient October 25, 2014As I've said before, Dr. Leiser is absolutely terrific. She is knowledgeable and personable. I just wish I had found her and University Healthcare years before I did. I am so impressed that my wife and I are going to drop Humana Advantage and go with the University Health Care Medicare Advantage program
UofU Patient August 26, 2014Dr. Jennifer Leiser is cheerful, funny, and extremely approachable. She is very easy to talk to about even embarrassing problems, and is always happy to answer questions. Her easy-going friendliness and wisdom has made her a favorite with our whole family.

UofU Patient May 11, 2014The dr spent time with me answering my questions and making sure I was comfortable with each procedure. She seems to be caring and compassionate with her patients.
UofU Patient April 27, 2014She listened to all my concerns, which were rather numerous, I was just left wondering if I actually got an annual physical exam, which is what I had asked for the appointment for but things I would have thought would be checked for a physical weren't and I wasn't told to make another appointment if this was just a consultation

UofU Patient April 04, 2014I can't say enough good about Dr. Leiser. The time spent with me was unhurried, and she had ready, sensible responses to my questions. Her communication skills and information imparted is outstanding; my previous doctor seldom explained things in any detail. Dr. Leiser has given me a great deal of motivation to work on my diabetes. Her concern is palatable.
UofU Patient March 19, 2014If you can find more physicians like Dr Leiser, HIRE THEM.
UofU Patient February 12, 2014I think the doctors and the physician assistants and the nurses and the nurse assistants are very very excellent! I will recommend the expertise to others!
UofU Patient February 10, 2014We had a bit of anxiety before the visit with Dr. Leiser, and she was very kind and professional while addressing our concerns.
UofU Patient January 29, 2014The care provider seemed preoccupied. Though she listened and answered our questions, she gave us the impression that she had other concerns that were more important.
UofU Patient December 08, 2013Dr. Jennifer Leiser is a very good doctor. I enjoy her as a friend and a professional.
UofU Patient December 07, 2013As always, Dr. Leiser was communicative, and gave excellent treatment and advice
UofU Patient October 07, 2013Excellent
UofU Patient September 04, 2013I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Leiser. She is friendly, concerned about my condition, and gave me instructions on what I should do. Her communication skills and knowledge are excellent, and her instructions give me confidence in her and what I am to do. I'm sure my previous doctor was competent, but he communicated very little about my medical problems, and didn't give much advice.
UofU Patient August 26, 2013Dr. Leiser is a great doctor in every way

UofU Patient April 01, 2013was told she recommended physical therapy, yet I was not set up with this.
UofU Patient February 05, 2013She is the best Dr. I have had.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013The doctor did not examine me other than to comment that it looked like I had been scratching (my rash). She didn't try to look at my shoulder -- she just said, "I can't refill any prescriptions. You have to go to the primary for that." The feeling was that she didn't want to waste her time.
UofU Patient January 22, 2013Not applicable - my visit was for lab work
UofU Patient January 17, 2013The care provider discussed all my health problems efficiently and carefully with me.
UofU Patient January 14, 2013Nice job.
UofU Patient December 09, 2012I greatly appreciate Dr. Leiser's ability and skill in talking with me in ways that encourage me to follow her recommendations. When she first told me that I needed to take at least a week off from work to heal from my concussion I didn't see how I could possibly do this. However, by the end of my visit I was considering the possibility and actually took 1.5 weeks off.
UofU Patient November 20, 2012My visit was a very simple one - some of these particular questions do not really pertain to the simplicity of it - basically, I was there to get a shingles vaccine; having said that, my provider was excellent in all capacities.
UofU Patient October 30, 2012I was impressed that Dr. Leiser attended to all of my preventive and annual health care needs in this visit when I had only scheduled an appointment at her request to review my medications. Although this took longer than I had expected for the appointment, I appreciated taking care of all these needs at this time so that I didn't need to reschedule.
UofU Patient October 24, 2012I am interested in finding a provider that would help me to resolve my medical problems.
UofU Patient August 27, 2012Dr. Leiser is a wonderful provider. She is always very friendly and helps me with any concerns I have.
UofU Patient July 02, 2012I have seen Dr. Leiser for several years. She is exellent. I will keep her as my Dr for as long as I can.
UofU Patient June 11, 2012Dr. Leiser is my doctor for a reason. She is an exceptional health care professional. She will be my Primary care doctor as long as she is available.

UofU Patient April 06, 2012Dr. Leiser is awesome. I always feel she has a genuine concern for me and always has time to discuss my concerns and explain anything I need to know. She always answers my questions.
UofU Patient March 29, 2012Dr. Leiser was wonderful. This was my first visit with her, she spent time listening to my concerns and addressed them professionally. I am happy to have her as my primary care physician.
UofU Patient March 16, 2012Doctor was obviously rushed by backlog but still was thorough but there wasn't much offered regarding what to do to expedite recovery other than scheduling a follow-up Physical Therapy session a week later.
UofU Patient February 22, 2012Nothing bad... Just prefer my usual doctor.
