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 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 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.
