Anna Kaiser, DO

PGY-2 Resident

Biographical Sketch:

Anna is a second-year neurology resident at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center who is interested in exploring all fields of neurology but has a special interest in neuro-ophthalmology and neuroimmunology. She completed her undergraduate degree in Neuroscience at Westminster College and her medical training at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. She was born and raised in the north hills of Pittsburgh and was thrilled to return home for her neurology training. She otherwise chose UPMC because of the vast exposure to sub-specialties, strong support for residents, and the outstanding co-residents and faculty!  Outside of medicine, Anna enjoys spending time with her husband, friends and family, cooking, enjoying the outdoors, and taking care of her plant babies.
