EXTERNAL SITEDoctor Cipriano was well aware of the genetic disease causing the affects that we were there to get treatment for (most doctors we've seen don't know about this disease). She took the time to be up to date and knowledgeable about this genetic disease before our appointment so we could spend the office time getting cared for instead of explaining the disease. She had great bed side manor and was sensitive to my daughter and what she may be comfortable with at her preteen age.
