Meet Our Physicians
Sierra Infectious Diseases has three doctors on-site to administer patient treatment, consult with patients and manage treatment schedules. Because our drug treatments are compounded on-site, our physicians monitor treatments closely with each patient. Educating patients about treatments to help them gain a better understanding of their disease and how to manage it is very important to our doctors.
