Amber Jaeger, MD

Dr. Jaeger delivered my son because my amazing OB (Dr. Rydfors) was on vacation. I had an absolutely horrible experience with Dr. Jaeger and would caution pregnant moms before using her. I delivered naturally and as my son came down the birth canal the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck twice. He had difficulty breathing and his heart rate dropped. After he was finally delivered it was incredibly scary — he ended up being fine but Dr. Jaeger just sat there speechless and even after he’d been whisked by ambulance to Stanford I felt no support, guidance or empathy from her. Shockingly, she did not even check me physically the next day at the hospital (she sent another doctor), or check on my family or my son who was at Stanford for six days. I would not use her as your OB. She has no bedside manner, emotional intelligence or empathy and made our son’s traumatic birth so much worse than it had to be. I feel bad writing this but if I were a pregnant mom, especially a first time mom, I would want to know this.

Dr. Jaeger delivered my baby girl and was amazing leading up to it. I moved recently to the Bay Area and needed an OB to take me on in my 5^th month. She was incredibly nice, reassuring, patient and knowledgable! Being new to the area, she was helpful in getting me settled in, pointing me to groups that I could network with and providing medical information. The delivery was quick, she was thorough and supported all my decisions without any judgement while as the same time. I recovered very quickly and would recommend her to anyone looking for an OB.

She is a fantastic OB/​GYN, and we are sorry that she will no longer be practicing in Redwood City (we learned today that she moved to Novato). She delivered our child several months ago, and was calm, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the process. The pregnancy was medically complicated, and she took on the challenge with an upbeat, positive attitude. It shows how much we respect her, that I actually looked up getting to Novato after finding out that she moved. As a one-​way trip exceeds an hour and the quickest route involves going to the East Bay and crossing back again, we reluctantly concluded that we need to find another OB/​GYN closer to home.
I am fervently hoping that she will return to the Peninsula in the future. If you can see her in Novato, consider yourself privileged indeed.

Dr. Jaeger is without a doubt the best doctor I have had!
She was my doctor all through my second pregnancy. She listened to every concern I had and never dismissed what I was feeling as «just because you are pregnant» pains like a lot of others do. Because of this, she caught some problems in this pregnancy early on and I’m convinced she is the reason I ended up having a healthy pregnancy! She is very professional and I felt confident that I was in the best hands the whole time!
She did ultrasounds often — at almost every appointment in the beginning.
During labor she listened to all my concerns and also helped me make the decisions I needed to. She was very encouraging and laid back and made the whole delivery process wonderful. I delivered a healthy baby girl in July and couldn’t be happier with my experiences with Dr. Jaeger.
I highly recommend her!

Dr. Jaeger is an excellent, competent and careful doctor who has given me great guidance and support throughout my entire pregnancy. However, it was her respect for the patients’ decisions and her humanity and kindness that have captivated me since the beginning.
I am so thankful to have had her delivering my baby.

She is amazing! I just go here for regular physicals & check ups & she always makes me feel very welcome. The staff is also very friendly. She is very warm & bright & makes me feel like it’s a very non judgmental environment. I feel very comfortable with her as my doctor & that’s how your suppose to feel with any doctor your have. She listens & gives very good advice & you can tell she really cares about her patients. She explains everything thoroughly to where you have a really good understanding about what’s going on. Sometime the phone lines get busy but this office definitely cares about every patient. I canceled my appointment & wanted a different time & they had no availability but called me back 30min later saying they will squeeze me in. I would recommend her to anybody!

So, so long overdue to write this, but life has been beyond crazy with my little dude, who’s now 6 months old.
All of my pregnancy, I only saw Dr Jaeger, and was always happy with the way we made decisions, all of her suggestions, the information she provided — I feel like we made a very good patient-​doctor team with one common goal and a great mutual understanding of that goal, which was to deliver a healthy baby naturally, with minimal interventions if possible. Some of our appointments were brief, maybe all of 5 – 10 minutes, others not so much, but she was always thorough and absolutely delightful to be around.
Everything in the delivery room went according to plan and I feel like she not only respected my decisions but was also there to lend additional support emotionally in order for me to plod on when labour wasn’t progressing, reminding me of what the goal was.
I delivered a healthy baby boy, on 12÷13÷14, naturally as planned and am so very thankful that I had Dr Jaeger there with me.
Needless to say, I recommend her to anyone!

She was there to deliver me when I thought she wasn’t in on Monday’s and has been there through and through postpartum since I have been having major issues with breastfeeding. She is seriously the best doctor!

Dr Jaeger is so caring and profesional. She takes time to explain things so well. She is the best

my main ob was dr pravdin, i saw dr jaeger a few times during my pregnancy
she is textbook smart/​caring/​has excellent bedside manners. I would recommend dr pravdin or dr jaeger to any of my friends or family!

I saw Dr. Jaeger a number of times throughout my pregnancy due to concerns or problems that arose. Every time we met with her, she was thorough, professional, quite approachable and took her time with us. My husband and I both felt very well taken care of, listened to and genuinely cared for. I would chose Dr. Jaeger as my primary OB if we decide to have a third child.

I moved across the country during my first trimester and was very lucky to find Dr. Jaeger after I had arrived. She is kind, caring, compassionate, and a great listener. My pregnancy wasn’t textbook or easy. Dr. Jaeger helped me control the situation and having her as my doctor made me feel like everything was going to be okay — and it was! Her calm and patient demeanor made any situation seem solvable, no matter how stressful or scary. I liked that she was young enough to relate with but experienced beyond her years — Dr. Jaeger knows exactly what she’s doing.

As there was talks of a potential c-​section, Dr. Amber Yaeger was just so encouraging and provided phenomenal guidance over the phone while on call with my questions to a supplement. She more than put me at ease about labor, and making me extremely excited about our meeting coming up.
The entire office here seems very aligned, and especially aligned with one of the top doctors which Dr. Rydfors. I loved her sense of calmness over the phone, and her ability to make me feel good about a little bit bigger baby which can be nervewracking. So love her so far!
