Dr. Carlos Kier, MD

During my entire visit Dr Kier’s focus was solely on my and the reason I came to his office. He took the time to give me a detailed answer and explanation to all of my concerns. I left the office with full confidence in his diagnosis.

Looking for a rheumatologist several years ago, I had problems finding one that (in my opinion) understood the doctor/patient relationship. Someone told me about Dr. Kier and said if I had a problem with him then I was the problem. When I met him and we discussed my health, I knew I found a doctor that would take care of me. He would still be my rheumatologist had I not moved to the east coast. He thoroughly explained treatments and answered all questions. Great doctor, great person.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kier’s since 1/2002. He has been a wonderful doctor for me for nearly 20 years. I see him every 12 weeks regularly. I have Psoriatic Arthropathy, Generalized Osteoarthritis, Cervical and Lumbar Spondylosis and I take a number of high risk medications to treat my diseases. I went on disability because of my health in 2003. Dr. Kier has always been extremely supportive of my needs on disability in regard to completing paperwork to evidence my condition with insurers. I am an informed patient myself, but Dr. Kier has been extremely valuable to me because of his extensive knowledge and experience. I also have other medical issues and he has been so very helpful in providing information and coordinating my care. Dr. Carlos Kier is a fantastic physician and I highly recommend him.

Horrible! I saw Dr. Kier in 2017 and it was the worst visit to a doctor I've every had. He wasn't a nice person to me (I was in my early 30's at the time) and told me I had parvovirus. I had blood tests done and no call back if they were good/bad. I flat out refused to go back; called and cancelled my 2nd appointment. Found a way better Rheumatologist (Dr. Hester) and was actually diagnosed with RA. She told me my lab work for inflammation was off the charts and was classic for that. Why was it so easy for her to see this, but not Dr. Kier? I think it may be time for this man to retire from the practice!

I got in earlier than expected (call to check for cancellations!), staff was friendly, Dr. Kier was GREAT. I had an emotional outburst and was confused, and directed it at him-but he was patient and understanding, and helped me and my partner understand. He had a great sense of humor and I am grateful to him for letting me explode and come back to my senses...I really was a mess. He helped me narrow down my next steps and was honest about what he could and couldn't do for me.

I saw Dr. Kier for joint pain and unexplained fevers. He immediately labeled me as drug seeking and told me there was no need to come back to see him. He did note that my joints were hypermobile, which was the first time I had heard this. After researching hypermobile joints, I found a geneticist who diagnosed me with Ehler's Danlos Syndrome, (EDS) which causes frequent joint dislocations and chronic pain! I am thankful he said the buzzword hypermobile but wish he was educated on EDS.

very friendly and knowledgeable Doctor......I had an 8 AM appointment time....the door was not even unlocked until 7:58.....the staff had to turn on the computers....go get their breakfast items....so I was not even checked in until 8:10....so much for the notice to be there 10 minutes before your appointment.....I asked if this was normal procedure....oh, yes.....I am always here by 8. (reception.....ok fine ...then don't schedule an appointment for a patient until you are ready to see someone!
