-Mia in Salt Lake City, UT | Jul 01, 2017
Dr. Luikenaar is a godsend. She takes the to time to understand her patients needs, and she takes the time to make sure her patients understand her prescribed treatments. Dr. Luikenaar is consummate professional who cares about the wellbeing of her patients.
I am so grateful for Dr. Luikenaar. She has helped me make my life into one I want to live. I cannot recommend her enough.

Dr Luikenaar has been my choice for specialized care for the last 3 years. She is very caring and works to have the care meet your individual needs. She is constantly expanding her offerings and gives to the community. I would like to say we need all doctors to care as much as her, but she is setting a standard that shouldn't be applied to others.

We've been going to Dr. L for 3 years, she is amazing! And her staff is SUPER helpful! I am sad to see so many poor reviews. If you have morals you NEED to go to this warm and welcoming clinic. Dr. L treats all women and men! She truly is the best.

Sandy, UT | Jun 30, 2017
I have been seeing Dr Luikenaar for over 3 years now and is by far the greatest Dr I have been too. Well informed, thorough and makes me feel like she really cares for me and my health. Her staff is amazing, and really take care of everything, they work with me on payments and are always understanding. I recommend her and her clinic to everyone.

-Mieke in Salt Lake City, UT | Jun 30, 2017
Dr. Luikenaar is an amazing. She patiently talked me through all my options and the risks, explaining the procedures. It enabled me to make an informed decision to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy and oophorectomy. Incredibly flexible, she performed the surgery where it was convenient and economical for me. She visited with me before and immediately after surgery and genuinely cares about her patients. I have recommended her to several friends.

-Chris H in Orem, UT | Jun 30, 2017
I've been a patient for 2 yrs. Dr Luikenaar and her staff are always professional and friendly. Dr L is highly qualified to treat my health needs. But, more important to me, she genuinely cares and treats me like a person, not a stat or an insurance payment. I don't get rushed through my appointments.
Dr Luikenaar isn't just a great doctor. She is also an amazing advocate and ally, working towards educating others in the medical profession about health needs of myself and others like me.

Dr. Luikenaar provides tremendous, and compassionate, professional medical services to all her patients. Both myself for many years, my wife, and to so many other individuals I personally know. She serves an amazing cast of communities, including marginalized and underprivileged communities, who sadly are unwelcome elsewhere. Healthcare is very personal...ask questions...it can be stressful...be a partner with your Doctor and medical staff, and solve your concerns, with kindness and respect.

Kindest, most compassionate Dr. I have worked with. Also, love her staff. Waiting times are worth it. There can be a wait because she actually spends quality time with you.

Salt Lake City, Utah | Apr 18, 2017
Dr. Luikenaar inserted my Nexplanon in September 2015. When she asked if I could feel anything after the anesthetic was put in, I said yes, I can still feel it. She said I would be fine and put it in anyways. It hurt. Because I could still feel it. Now a year and a half later, I'm getting it out. It got lost in my arm mixed up with the blood vessels and tendons. I had to get an ultrasound to find where it went. Her office is refusing to help pay for any of it, since I didn't go back to her.

I needed a doctor that was informed, opened and understanding. Dr. Luikenaar is that doctor. No BS but a kind and empathic approach was exactly what I was looking for. For those of us who need an informed and open minded doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Luikenaar to family and friends.

Dr. Luikenaar is fantastic. I would highly recommend her. She provides amazing, comprehensive care for all women. I appreciate her straight forward, no nonsense approach.
I am not transgender, but my girlfriend, and several of my friends are. I am so grateful that good, morally strong, inclusive people like her exist.

-River Digerness in West Jordan, UT | Jun 15, 2016
Dr. Luikenaar had been my doctor for about 4 years now.
I am impressed by the personal care and attention she provides every time I visit for an appointment.
Dr. Luikenaar has put sound medical science and dedication to patient health above popularity, and she treats all of her patients with warmth and dignity.
In my opinion, our health care system would be much better if there were more doctors dedicated to true healing and health like Dr. Luikenaar.
I enthusiastically recommend her!

-Michelle Stevens in Salt Lake City, UT | May 20, 2016
I visited Dr. Luikenaar back in Jan. and had an amazing experience with her. She very much understands the needs of the transgender community and has a deep passion for helping those of us who are a part of the community. I had posted a previous negative review and shouldn't have as I was totally in the wrong at the time.

I have been suffering PCOS since I was 21. Also being transgender, this put a lot of strain on me. I bled non stop for 7 months one time then a whole year the next. Most doctors wanted to throw BC at me. Dr. Luikenaar not only listened to me, but realized that being trans that I wouldn't want to carry a child. She instantly got me going to have an endometrial ablation and I am doing great now. Her staff is AMAZING and are quick to use proper pronouns. Her and her staff are blessings!
