Jon D. Kaiser, M.D. was born in New York City in 1959.  After graduating from the State University of New York with a degree in Philosophy with a Specialization in Biochemistry, he attended medical school at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston.  During his medical school training, he received honors in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine, but at the same time became disheartened at the purely mechanistic approach to the treatment of disease that he was being taught.  It was during this time that Dr. Kaiser began to explore the fields of nutrition, natural therapies, and emotional healing techniques.

In 1984, Dr. Kaiser began postgraduate training in Internal Medicine at the Kaiser Foundation Hospital in San Francisco.  It was at this time that he began treating patients who were infected with the HIV virus.  Several years later, after gaining experience in emergency medicine and family practice, Dr. Kaiser opened his private practice which quickly grew to capacity because of the intelligent and comprehensive approach he brought to the treatment of HIV infection, Cancer, and other immune system disorders.  In 1993, Dr. Kaiser published his first book, Immune Power: A Comprehensive Treatment Program for HIV (1993 St. Marin’s Press) which was critically acclaimed as well as a best seller in the SF Bay Area.

In 1997, Dr. Kaiser became Medical Director of The Jon Kaiser Wellness Center providing primary care to over fifteen hundred seriously ill patients in San Francisco.  In early 2000, Dr. Kaiser re-entered private practice as an Integrative Medicine Consultant, helping patients recover from complex medical conditions using a unique integration of natural and standard medical therapies.  His second book, Healing HIV: How To Rebuild Your Immune System (1999 HealthFirst Press), updated his comprehensive treatment approach including new information on micronutrient therapy, hormonal support, as well as the latest research on antiviral therapy.

Dr. Kaiser has been treating patients with HIV and other immune system disorders for the past twenty years. He is a currently a member of the Clinical Faculty at the University of California, San Francisco Medical School.

Dr. Kaiser is well known for his nationwide lectures on optimizing HIV care and his audiences consistently rate his HIV Treatment Update programs as highly valuable to their care.  His ultimate goal is to help patients and health care providers treat complex medical conditions utilizing an integration of natural and standard medical treatments.
