Dr. Kaiser was an extraordinary provider. She empathized and listened to my concerns with my recent miscarriage. She was kind but offered honest clinical answers. It was a breath of fresh air to be listened to, and this final procedure became a positive experience at the end of a lengthy miscarriage.

Dr. Kaiser and her resident took the time to listen to my concerns and come up with a plan for my care. When she found out that I am a nurse, she talked to me as a fellow provider rather than just as a patient. She was extremely caring and made sure I was comfortable.
