Hello. I am a new patient who visited Dr. Kaiser for the 1st time on 1/22/26. I had a very positive experience. I feel like I had a doctor who listened to me. She was personable thorough & professional. She took the time to explain circumstances. She asked all the proper questions regarding my situation. I know this is typical or the way all doctors should be, but it isn't. At any rate, my visit there was very pleasant.

We discussed my latest joint problem. Kiley fully discussed the the issue including all possible relevant details including diet, exercise, other meds and possible mitigating factors. The discussion was pleasant and helpful. She changed my medication dose and said to call after several weeks if not helpful. I left feeling very happy.

He really cares about his patients. Takes a very thorough medical history. And discusses all of your symptoms and treatment options with you.

It was a wonderful appointment. I recently had a second mastectomy when a new malignant lump was found. I had a chance to tell Dr. Berhanu about it and discuss future possible treatments. I’m 86 and she explained a lot.
