Dr. Serna is one of the most patient, compassionate, and thorough doctors I’ve ever met. In the past 15 years I’ve never had the opportunity to have a consistent family doctor (due to lots of moving). Recently there were some heath concerns and I was surprised how patient Dr. Serna listened to my medical history and answered my questions, some of which were unusual but she didn’t judge me. I did not feel rushed at all and felt she really cares for her patients. Her nurse assistant Patrice and the rest of the staff I interacted with are also very kind and professional. I had a wonderful experience and I’m very grateful.
