Dr. Steffen, was amazing. She made me feel comfortable to talk about embarrassing topic. I've seen other providers for the last couple of years without success or proper diagnosis. Finally, I know what is wrong, and she has been messaging me back and forth with additional information and treatment options. So glad to have met her, and most importantly, she listened and was not dismissive. She answered all my questions without judgement was very kind and personable.
Great doctor,friendly,explains everything to you before,but thank most important thing she treated me like a person not a number
Jenna is a lovely person and I felt seen and supported by her during my visit. I look forward to continuing to work with her throughout my pregnancy.
Dr. Steffen is very professional and takes the time to listen to my concerns. She's always so sweet with her patients and one can tell that she truly cares for each and everyone of them, I say this because of the way she treats me. she's always giving me options for my best healthcare and she makes sure to explain the pros and cons. I love Dr. Steffen and the Redwood OB staff all are very caring.
Dr Steffen explained risks of continuing birth control. She clearly explained signs/symptoms for me to watch for as a sign to discontinue. She provided statistics and sources for information she provided.
Dr. Steffen showed outstanding knowledge and clearly explained and addressed my questions and concerns.
She really cares and helps me with my health issues. I'm feeling so confident that I will get the best care available anywhere because Jenna Steffen goes above and beyond with being proactive and thoughtful to consider all of the factors which contribute to the health issue(s) I'm presenting with.
Dr. Steffen is amazing, she listens to your concerns and explains her reasoning behind decisions or a plan of action. I had a colposcopy in the past (with a different doctor) that was incredibly painful and she listened to my concerns and talked through a plan of action. Dr. Steffen was able to make the procedure not significantly painful which speaks to her incredible skills and use of the most current methods. I highly recommend Dr. Steffan!
Dr. Steffen is the greatest care provider I've ever been to. She has performed surgery on me three times'two cesareans and a myomectomy'all of which were easy and successful. She continues to go to bat for me when I have issues. I'll continue to tell every woman I know about Dr. Steffen and the amazing team at the U of U Women's Health Department. Thank you!
Dr. Steffen has consistently provided me with excellent healthcare. She has been my provider through both of my pregnancies and postpartum recovery periods. Regardless of how anxiety-induced my questions and concerns may be, she actively listens and adequately addresses them - often citing current research to support her recommendations and guidance. My visits with her feel more conversationsal than clinical, which makes me feel respected and listened to, allowing me to fully trust her regarding the care I receive.
Jenna is amazing. She is very sweet and makes sure you are in charge of your care.

Dr. Steffen is wonderful and everything is could ever want and need in an OBGYN

I find her presence very calming and supportive and would recommend her to any mom to be!

Dr. Steffen is a fabulous women's health professional. Thank you for your time and care. I appreciate your commitment to women and our special needs. :)
She was absolutely helpful in my struggles. Only horrible thing was not being able to see her again until MARCH for a follow up appt! It takes several months for me and all women struggling with their feminine health to get an appt this needs to change!
She's providing care that I wish I didn't need, but I'm glad to have her as my provider, and confident in her care.
Dr. Steffen is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and always takes the time to offer thoughtful advice. I feel confident and cared for in her hands'highly recommend!

Dr.Steffen is one of the best doctors I've met. She's very thorough and makes me feel very comfortable during the exam.

Thanks for making me feel at ease in a very vulnerable moment.
Dr Stephen is a specialist in her field. I am so grateful to having found her. thank you!
love U of U
Dr. Steffen is so knowledgeable, friendly and just all around fabulous!
i could not have imagined a better experience for a prenatal visit. First, I was amazed at how much time Jenna spent with me, answering every possible question for a first-time mom and explaining everything in great detail. Her bedside manner immediately put me at ease, and she genuinely seems to love what she does. She made me feel like my health and my baby's health were her top priority in that moment. She is extremely kind, and her competence and confidence gave me absolute confidence in her.
I loved the messages on MyChart and followup
Jenna Steffen was very kind to me. She had patience and explained everything! It was an excellent appointment! I am glad I found a doctor as good as her.
She helped me understand details
Provider is very professionally but caring at the same time. She is very knowledgeable in her expertise and area.
She is a calm provider. She takes time to answer your questions. She is reassuring.
Very caring provider, makes sure that patient is equipped with all the info in order to make the best decisions for their care but is capable of being firm in the best interest of the patient.
I really appreciated Jenna's approach. She was kind knowledgeable and took what might seem a small concern seriously and provided answers that helped me make informed decisions.
Dr. Steffan was fantastic!

DR. STEFFEN WAS EXCEPTIONAL!
She was very caring and explained everything clearly!
dr steffan was great and I really like her. she made me feel a lot more comfortable than the nurses. she also had a 3rd yr student with her that was equally nice. I feel I can talk openly with dr steffan and we can work out a plan of action we both agree on
Dr. Steffen is seriously such a delight. She is so kind, caring, down to earth, and friendly. She is sensitive and professional, and she has an incredible ability to ease my anxiety time and time again.

La doctora fue muy profesional y informativa
Dr. Steffen is awesome. She takes the time to educate and is happy to answer my anxious questions. She makes me feel like a human and not a number.
She was very kind and knowledgeable and treated me very respectfully!
Jenna is great! She is patient in listening to my thoughts and concerns and follows through on things.
Awesome
As always, Dr. Steffen made me feel very comfortable even during an uncomfortable procedure such as an IUD removal. She took the time to counsel me and answer my many questions about the upcoming possibility of pregnancy. I also really appreciate her taking the time to have social conversation with me because it made me feel more calm while experiencing mild abdominal pain. I look forward to seeing her again!
I didn't have any concerns or questions but the provider is always caring
Outstanding care. Thank you.
Jenna m Steffens is a very good MD My visit has always been good Her smile,care and love is great Patient always love people who care about them And she is one Even if you have a lot on your mind but her welcoming smile helps you overcome
I had some concerns regarding some imaging findings and Jenna helped me to understand more about them, so I'm not concerned about them so much anymore, as I know more now. She is very thorough and professional while treating my individual needs as important. She really cares and she is helping me to get further care for some issues I've had for a while. I feel that I can trust her medical opinion. She is very thorough and detail oriented. Very friendly, too.
Doctor Jenna Steffen is very attentive and knowledgeable. Im very happy with the care I received.
Shes very nice n she explained all in very good details
She is awesome.
Muy buena atencin, amable y linda
Dr. Steffen is simply the best in what she does! Shes my OB from the very start when we were trying to conceive until I delivered my first baby. Thank you for all the help, Dr. Steffen!
I've been seeing Jenna for a few years now. Every time I go in she is kind, and educates me on standards for care to provide me with options. Nobody likes going to the OBGYN, atleast I don't - but knowing I'll receive her care makes unpleasant experiences a little less difficult.
Dr. Steffen is absolutely amazing! I'm so glad she will be guiding me in my care. She's very smart, knows what she's talking about, and explains things so you understand them. She gives you options, lets you pick, and then supports you in what you choose to do. She's very caring, compassionate, and empathetic. She's giving me the answers to problems I've had for years.
Dr. Steffen took someone who never wanted to see another gynecologist & made me feel so comfortable, informed & cared about. I left feeling confident in her as my doctor & the things we discussed. All staff I came in contact with were amazing.
Dr. Steffen was very easy to talk to, quick and efficient and checked in with me before the pelvic exam about my comfort level during the exam. Anyone that has dealt with a traumatic experience during a pelvic exam where the dr. Doesn't communicate what's happening or doesn't make the situation feel transparent or the patient comfortable to use their voice knows how important this is. Especially if they have dealt with SA. I had no major concerns or questions but she gave me an opportunity to ask about anything. Definitely professional, efficient and kind.
The doctor was really great - My last two IUD experiences were really unpleasant and I told her I was a little nervous because of this. She made sure I felt really comfortable and explained every single step and her reasoning for doing things the way she did them. She went over risks really thoroughly without making the new IUD seem scary. I really appreciated that she assured me that if I needed to come in at a later time because of any issues, she would be available (really assuring after how crazy getting the appointment was)
Dr. Steffen was great. She had excellent dialogue about options available and plan and asked me how I wanted to proceed
She explained very what is needed things done
I felt like Dr. Steffan was Orestes that I was inquiring about birth options and when I asked for clarification on the estimated timeline of my twins arrival since our fertility clinic had a different view instead Ed answering she said she'd refer me to a high risk doctor and I'd want to talk to them. It felt like my questions were wasting her time..
She is always listening to attention and solves a problem that comes up.
i like how Dr. Stephen gave me other options on allergy medicines
Dr Stephen is very professional and listened to my concerns. She did answered all my questions and made me feel secure .
Dr. Steffen is the best doctor Ive ever had. She listens and shows she cares, while also being highly efficient and competent.
Dr. Steffan adjusts her communication to meet the needs of her patients. She understands that I like a lot of information and explanation and provided me details regarding my concern.
Dr. Steffen listened to my problems, gave me a list of options - let me pick what option I wanted without trying to convince me otherwise, and then did it without hesitation.
I'm really glad I found Dr. Steffen. She took time with me and went over my symptoms and complete history. I felt so much better after having this appointment, I was very frightened before it. The appointment gave me a lot of peace of mind.
My husband gets irritated when he asks a question at one of my appointments and the doctor replies to me instead of him. It doesn't bother me, but he has mentioned it multiple times
Excellent doctor!
She was great!
Exceptional doctor. Detailed review left at the beginning of survey
I LOVE HER AS A DOCTOR. SHE IS THE BEST OBGYN I HAVE EVERN HAD. SHE IS SO KIND THE WAY SHE APPROCHES HER JOB. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A NEW DOCTOR, SHE IS THE BEST. I CANT SAY ENOUGH KIND THINGS ABOUT HER.
Dr. Steffen is an amazing doctor that truly took the time to make me feel cared for. She was patient and informative. One of the best experiences I've had with a doctor. I feel hopeful that I can work on my pain to lessen the hardship.
Dr. Jenna Steffen is caring person. Lucky to have her as my doctor.
Dr Jenna M. Steffen was carrying and understanding!
Improve summary notes
I love Dr. Steffen! She is very attentive and caring and always addresses all my concerns.
Dr. Steffen and Dr. Jones were some of the best doctors I have ever received care from. They were kind, compassionate, and patient. They both went above and beyond to address all of my concerns.
Dr. Steffen is always great. She is friendly and really listens. She gave me some good advice and she was very personable.
I saw the practitioner in the summer about an oopherectomy to assist with prophylactic treatment for my breast cancer. Provider suggested coordinating with my neuro about effects to my migraines and then wanted to do a pap, did not want to accept that I did not want that done that day, was leaving on vacation. Provider made comments that given my breast cancer it was important to keep up with screenings. I agreed that I needed the pap but did not want it that day. The appointment this survey covers was for the pap that I scheduled as a follow up. Provider still made comments about me not getting the pap at my previous appointment. It felt as though I was inconveniencing the provider and there was lack of consideration for the trauma that routine screenings come with after my breast cancer diagnosis. Having a pap the day I leave on vacation and spending my vacation hoping the results were clear was not something I was prepared for. The comment that my paps have always been normal doesn't help, my mammograms had always been normal too. If a patient is reticent to have a procedure day of but is willing to schedule and return there may be something there that deserves flexibility and empathy.
We are an IVF pregnancy and Dr. Steffan tried to tell us a different due date from the clinic. I realized she didn't have the information that we transferred a day 6 embryo though. She's very kind.
Dr. Steffen was incredible. She really listened and understood my needs and concerns.
It was really good
She is very kind and friendly. I'm grateful for the way she make me feel comfortable and in charge of my care.
words cant describe how comfortable Dr. Steffan made my pregnancy ..
Dr. Steffen is wonderful. She is incredibly thoughtful, knowledgable, and warm.
I love Dr. Steffen!! So much that I won't keep her a secret. She is truly the greatest & I've loved both of my pregnancy experiences with her!
Wonderful bedside manner and very informative. She asked clarifying questions and really worked to understand my questions and concerns.
She is amazing
She listened and helped me feel so at ease. She believed what I was telling her when others have acted like I was exaggerating. Even though she didn't have a solid plan of action she assured me that I would be an active part of the decisions and treatment would be very tailored to what I need rather than just generic.
Jenna is very kind and explains things well. She seems to care a lot about her patients.
Jenna is the best!
Really appreciated the time she took and compassion she showed. I felt really nervous and unsure of what to expect over the remainder of my pregnancy, but she put so many of my concerns at ease.
Wonderful doctor
????? ???
She was very kind and patient and listened to my concerns. She made an uncomfortable and stressful situation much more pleasant. Thank you!
Caring and Understanding, excellent care!!
Dr. Steffen is very thorough and kept me informed. She's a great doctor
Dr. Steffen provided excellent care throughout my pregnancy, birth and post birth period. Im so thankful I was in such good hands for the birth of my first child and Id recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caring, knowledgeable doctor.
Dr Stephen was very professional , listening to what I have to say.
She was very thorough in all of her exams and listened to all of my concerns
I love Dr. Stefan! She always explains my care and plan thoroughly, offers me the highest level of care, and is always open to hear my own opinions of what I need (shocking that a doctor listens to their patient, right!?)She is personable, intelligent, and always makes me feel cared for
Dr. Steffen is great! She takes the time to answer questions and is very informative about the supporting research.
Dr. Steffan is so informative, personable and caring. I appreciate that she listens to my concerns and respects what I want and don't want as a patient. Ive been trying to find the cause of my problems for years and no doctor has cared enough to look into WHY I was having the issues I was having, but she truly wanted to find help and treatments for me.
Dr. Steffens is very nice, but I don't feel like I get any info at the appointments to help me during my pregnancy. I'd love more details on what to expect at the next appointment, what tests mean, and how to prepare for them. This is my first pregnancy so I'm trying to bring lots of questions, but there are some things I just don't know to ask. I was very disappointed in not being prepared for my 1-hour diabetes test and the lack of insights into how the 3-hour test works (the nurses response to my extreme anxiety to "bring a book" was not the answer I was looking for). Just overall I feel like I'm going into pregnancy "blind." Again, she is very nice and this could all be due to the hospital being short staffed.
Dr. Steffen always is very thorough and easy to communicate with. She provides good knowledge and up to date information on appropriate studies/recommendations. I feel very confident in her care and know that me and my baby are being well taken care of. She has a patient centered approach that makes you feel empowered in your care.
She is very good provider and very caring person
I feel educated, uplifted, and listened to whenever I meet with Dr. Steffen!
She is an OB/GYN for younger women, I am perimenopausal and will be finding a new provider for these symptoms and issues.
Jenna is so thorough and I love that she gives options for us to choose whats ideal for us. She explains why or each option and I like that type of care.
Very helpful.
Thank you, Dr. Steffen for being absolutely helpful in the most professional and kind way possible I hope you keep up the great work and know how much you are appreciated especially for me. Thank you tons!
The doctor was very thorough in answering my questions; excellent bedside manner
She seemed very knowledgeable and was super nice
It's a virtual check-up so the discussion was limited to question & answer. Physician gave recommended diagnostic testing that cam be done.
She researched my concerns prior to my apt and had a game plan ready. She made sure I was in charge of the final decisions and that all my questions were answered.
She helped me get into medapaus with the very up to date understanding of my cycle. Thnku Dr Steffen!
She is good at what she does, add compassion and understanding and you get the best care ever!
Dr Steffen listened to my questions and provided multiple solutions with thorough education about each one.
I love Dr. Steffen. I never feel rushed at my appointments with her, she always makes sure all of my questions are answered, and she is always on time! I never have to wait very long to see her.
Dr. Steffan was kind, considerate, friendly, and gentle. She took time to listen to my concerns as well as to go through my medical history to be sure she had all the information correct and up to date. She spoke to me in terms I could understand. And she was on time. I appreciated that.
Very professional, nice ,I will recommend everyone thanks a lot
I have never felt as heard by a care provider as I have with Dr.Steffan. She provided reassurance during my exam, and was careful to explain everything as she proceeded. Dr.Steffan also took the time to answer my questions about an upcoming procedure and thoroughly explained my options. I appreciate her care.
I am glad that Dr. Steffen is my provider. I felt like she listened to my concerns and we talked through the options and I feel very confident moving forward with the path that we chose.
