    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!
