  • I am a family physician currently practicing at the Sugar House ÈËÆÞÖгöÊÓƵ Center Family Medicine Clinic at the ÈËÆÞÖгöÊÓƵ of Utah. Primary care is my passion with an emphasis to elevate those who may need assistance navigating the health system. My interest and skills in underserved care were first honed at the U ÈËÆÞÖгöÊÓƵ Redwood Clinic where I spent my first few years after residency. There I witnessed the unique health care needs of the refugee population. In 2003, I joined the ÈËÆÞÖгöÊÓƵ of Utah Department of Family & Preventive Medicine, Division of Family Medicine at the Sugarhouse Family ÈËÆÞÖгöÊÓƵ Center. I was able to continue working with diverse communities by strengthening our clinic's New American/refugee health program and expanding to work with gender minority populations. I serve as the co-medical director of the U ÈËÆÞÖгöÊÓƵ Transgender ÈËÆÞÖгöÊÓƵ Program providing primary care and gender affirming hormone therapy for transgender and gender diverse people.

    Dr. Kiraly is kind, and professional. She has helped me this last year with issues I've had for many years. Dr. Kiraly listens, takes the time to explain the issues and gives options that make sense. I would recommend her to anyone.

    Doctor Kiraly has been my doctor for at least 20 yrs and she is just absolutely ageless. She has come to know me very well, and she is always very concerned and caring about my ongoing medical care. She always does the best thing's for me, and I have come to know this and very seldom ever question it. But when I do she explains the pro's and con's of everything very well.

    Dr. Kiraly takes her time listening to all concerns. She doesn't appear rushed or indifferent. She multitasks efficiently at bedside by talking to you, listening to you while reviewing electronic records at the same time. Not easy to do. If you can get into Dr. Kiraly practice for family medicine consider yourself in front of a great doctor.
