    We were very grateful to Dr Kaiser. This was a very new experience for us and she was able to walk us through what was going to happen in the procedure and answered all of our questions before hand. She was very kind and soft during our difficult time. She also is very knowledgeable and we felt we could rely on her expertise as we made decisions about our care.

    Want the patriarchy out of women's health as much as possible? I recommend Dr. Kaiser. Your Body, Your ÈËÆÞÖгöÊÓƵ, You work together on a plan. I especially recommend her for complex situations and complex health puzzles. She won't have all the answers, but she's not afraid to look for the ones she doesn't know either.
