    Dr. Sierra went above and beyond answering my questions and explaining my condition and concerns. She did it with genuine care and concern. I didn’t feel rushed at all. I’ve had 5 rheumatologists in 10 years and Dr. Sierra was the most thorough. I know I’m in good hands. I feel grateful.

    I’ve been seeing Dr Sierra for about a year. I’m so happy to be treated by her. She’s the first doctor I’ve seen in many years that was able to provide an accurate diagnosis and a plan for how to manage my condition. She explains things in a way I can understa nd and process. She listens carefully to me. I feel better when I leave the office knowing my doctor has my back.
