Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Experience with Dr. Sierra
He’s the most patient, caring and kind person I have ever met. He handled me and my condition well. He’s definitely a great Doctor I would recommend anybody to him. He’s very knowledgeable, understanding and helpful. My experience with Dr Sierra is a 10 out of 10. My post op healing journey is very much going smoothly. I felt little to no pain and the stitches are done very nicely and the cover up is neatly done. God bless you Dr Sierra. You have done a great job!

Dr. Sierra is absolutely terrific. He listens carefully when I describe my medical condition. He always takes his time. I never feel rushed. His compassion, on a scale from 1-10, is 11! His staff is friendly and efficient.

Dr. Sierra is wonderful. He is such a kind doctor and he will patiently answer all of your questions, no matter how long it takes. You can trust him - even though he is a surgeon, he won’t opt to operate or do anything invasive unless it is absolutely necessary. He put me at ease when I was anxious and scared and he is just wonderful.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of having Dr Sierra as my surgeon, TWICE at Broward Health Coral Springs. He always took the time to explain the procedures and answer any questions, even if they were silly. Definitely the surgeon you want plus it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes. :)

Dr. Sierra is great. However, his staff is not very friendly. The level of customer service received in his office is not great. For the amount of money paid to a surgeon, the service should be fantastic.
