    Very kind and supportive. She did some instruction with the resident during a procedure and constantly made sure I was doing ok. She was responsive the subtle feedback when things were a little painful and made sure to completely address them.

    Dr. Kaiser is amazing! She always listens attentively and takes your concerns to heart. She explains things well including her recommendations. She took wonderful care of me and my rainbow baby and I plan to keep her as my OB if I am lucky enough to have another pregnancy.

    My experience with Dr. Kaiser has been nothing short of incredible. I came in with questions and concerns and she addressed each one in detail and thoroughly explained my options. For the first time in my life, I felt comfortable moving forward with an option of care of my own preference, and Dr. Kaiser fully supported my decision. She fully prepared me for procedures and exams and communicated well with me every step of the way. Being in the care of Dr. Kaiser has given me a sense of empowerment that I didn't realize I needed. The University of Utah Health system is so fortunate to have such a caring, intelligent, and down-to-earth provider like Dr. Kaiser.

    Dr. Kaiser was extremely kind during my visit and made my concerns feel very valid. She thoroughly explained every part of the procedure, not only before but also while she was performing the procedure. She is very knowledgeable yet still answers questions in a compassionate, humble way. I would recommend her to any family member or friends. I feel extremely well taken care of after every appointment.
