I have been going to Dr. Cerni since I was 21, I am 44 years old now and I can't brag enough about her. She listens to you, does not try to rush your through the appointment and is extremly thourough. I have followed her through 5 offices and I will keep following her.

I have followed Dr. Cerni from Diamond Bar to Brea to Yorba Linda/Placentia. That should tell you what a good, caring doctor she is.

The staff was extremely warm and welcoming, and made every effort to make me feel right at home. They are so friendly and inviting. They always make an extra effort to make me feel respected and attended to. They always listen to every question or concern I may have. I am going to refer everyone I know here. I absolutely love this place. I'm always amazed at how considerate and concerned they are for my well-being. Their advice is always wonderful and completely unbiased. They are completely committed to helping me as long as it takes to find the best solution. I never have to worry that they'll back out or give up if a solution isn't reached immediately, which has been a problem for me at other places.

This has been my doctor since she came to CA in 1987. She's gone through a couple serious illnesses with me and always made sure I understood everything. My siblings and their children also see her and we all consider he family. She loves what she does and as a result, excels at what she does.
