Jennifer Kaiser and her staff were nothing but incredible. I've had previous bad experiences with OBGYNs and the thought of putting my feet in another set of stirrups terrified me. Dr. Kaiser and her staff were patient, kind, and gentle. My experience with them was night and day compared to previous OBGYNs. Dr. Kaiser took the time to listen to me and explain the procedure thoroughly. I cannot recommend Dr. Kaiser and her team enough. I felt so cared for and understood. I especially want to say thank you to her incredible nurse, Francis. The is the best experience I have had at a doctor's office. I am no longer afraid to go to the OBGYN!

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.

Dr Kaiser and her team are amazing. She is both kind and compassionate as well as informative and competent. She listens to concerns and neither dismisses them nor exacerbates them. I moved from another city which had poor continuity of care with OB and I am so happy to have not only a good doctor but also to be followed by the same doctor and her team through the second half of my pregnancy. As a woman who had 3 previous miscarriages her care has been critical throughout my current rainbow baby pregnancy :) <3
