    Every one during the appointment is friendly, courteous and very helpful.

    I feel that Dr. Figueroa-Sierra did an outstanding job explaining a very complicated diagnosis. She repeated a summary of the diagnosis when I had trouble understanding and she answered all of my questions. She showed me different websites to use and explained all pertinent test results. I did not feel rushed at all. She spent about an hour with me face-to-face. Her rheumatological knowledge is remarkable. I feel very fortunate to have her as my rheumatologist.
