I have a unique condition and have been having a hard time getting providers to listen. I felt very well cared for and heard at this visit. I'm very relieved to find providers who treat me respectfully

Dr. Pierce is extraordinarily brilliant, empathetic and patient. He answered multitude of my questions, was engaging. And I was surprised that after all my questions he asked do you have any more, encouraging the dialogue to ensure we were on the same page. Supremely Excellent. What if all Doctors are like Dr. Pierce ?
