“If it hadn’t been for Sincer and his thorough, attentive nature, [the newspapers] would soon be printing my obituary. He’s by far one of the most dynamic, kind, gentle and informative providers I’ve ever met. He literally saved my life, and for that I’m eternally grateful.”
— Donna Palma, patient at Midwest Orthopaedics, speaking about PA Sincer Jacob, MMS, PA-C, RRT, who discovered a cancerous nodule in Palma’s lung

“It is very important when working with underserved/minority patients to understand each patient’s background, beliefs, traditions, family unit, and struggles. I think that is why I enjoy practicing family medicine. I enjoy developing strong meaningful relationships with my patients. When patients trust you, they are willing to work harder toward a healthier life.”
— Karla Rugamas, PA-C, MCHS, Chief Operating Officer, Vida Mobile Clinic, which provides primary care to uninsured individuals in the Los Angeles area.
