For many patients, Ciera is one of the first people they meet at Vertrae®, and she believes that a first impression can set the tone for the entire visit. With a smile that instantly puts people at ease, she welcomes each patient as if they’re the only one on her schedule.

As a radiologic technologist, Ciera blends precision with compassion. She understands that imaging can feel intimidating, so she takes the time to explain each step, answer questions, and make sure patients feel safe and cared for. From minimizing radiation exposure to ensuring scans are ready before a provider even walks in, she’s meticulous about the details that protect and support her patients.

“I hope patients feel welcomed and like they’re not just another number. We really care about their health.”

What matters most to Ciera is making sure every patient feels seen because she knows that behind every image is a person with a story, a family, and a future they want to enjoy without pain.

Outside of Vertrae®, Ciera’s world revolves around her family. She’s a devoted mom whose joy shows up in everyday moments, dancing in the kitchen, reading on the porch, or chasing her kids through the yard. That same joy and kindness are what she brings to the clinic each day, making sure patients leave feeling not only cared for, but truly valued.
