Stormont Vail Health Welcomes Lincoln Center OB/GYN Jessica Kieffer, M.D.

Stormont Vail Health proudly welcomes Dr. Jessica Kieffer, an OB/GYN specializing in reproductive medicine and pregnancy care, to the Stormont Vail Women's Services team. Dr. Kieffer delivers various women's health services in the Stormont Vail OB/GYN-Lincoln Center, 800 SW Lincoln Street, in Topeka.

A lifelong Kansan, Dr. Kieffer lived in the close-knit Mayetta community before relocating to pursue her medical career. After obtaining her B.S. in Organismal Biology at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, she completed her first two years of medical school at the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City.

Dr. Kieffer completed her remaining two years of medical school at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita. She initially began her residency training in family medicine at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita at Wesley Hospital, where she discovered her passion for women's health and transitioned to OB/GYN residency in her third year. Specifically, she found passion in advocating for women to have the labor and birth experience they want.

"I've gone through the uncertainty of an unplanned induction, protracted labor resulting in an emergency C-section, and suffered some trauma from the process," Dr. Kieffer said, "It's absolutely changed the way I care for people. It's impacted how I counsel patients and prepare them in the office for potential outcomes. I have a new level of kindness and compassion that existed before but carries a different tone of empathy."

Shortly after finishing her education journey, Dr. Kieffer joined the Lincoln Center OB/GYN team in Topeka, where she uses her professional and personal experiences to help women feel comfortable and empowered in their options and care. Dr. Kieffer is accepting new patients at the Stormont Vail OB/GYN Lincoln Center—call (785) 233-5101 to book an appointment.
