Professor, Internal Medicine

“Dr. Valeriano is a very important person in
my life. She diagnosed me with lupus over
22 years ago and has been treating me ev-
er since. She has helped keep my lupus in
check and kept me alive and doing pretty
well. I appreciate the fact that she knows about me and
my health but pays attention to my family and what is go-
ing on with them too.”

“Dr. Valeriano, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank
you for taking care of me for the last 15+ years. Your care
and concern for my well-being mean so much to me. You
have a compassion and warmth that makes me trust that
you always have my interests at heart. Your knowledge in
your field is unparalleled and I feel blessed to be your
patient.”
