Dr. Sierra has a wonderful bedside manner and is very knowledgeable. He actually listens to his patients and thoroughly addresses any concerns they may have. I have never had to wait in his office for any longer than 15 minutes. That is a huge bonus!

Dr. Sierra told me what the problem was, what he was going to do to fix it and then did exactly what he said he was going to do. Straight forward, no nonsense, great bed side manner. Personable and talented, what more could you ask for.

Very professional and friendly. Dr. Sierra used robotic surgery to remove my gallbladder and I am happy with my results. I did not experience much pain after surgery and was up and about in 3 days, with care of course.
