Dr. Magnano is an excellent professional. After eight years enduring excruciating pain, surgeries due to untreated autoimmune diseases, and multiple doctors in search for a proper treatment I found her, and she got it right.
She goes above and beyond to help her patients, she is kind, knowledgeable, human, and thanks to her dedication and excellence I can finally walk again.
If you have a complex case to diagnose and treat - mine is an overlap of Lupus, Rheumatoid Artritis, Sjogren's Syndrome, and she gave me the right diagnosis in my first appointment, confirmed by subsequent laboratorial, DNA tests, and clinical observation.
Her expertise also opened the doors to properly treat my epilepsy, by indicating me the first neurologist in 40 years able to understand my type of epilepsy.
So in case nobody could give you an answer, she is the rheumatologist that you are looking for. I live 280 miles from San Francisco, but I wouldn't change her for any other rheumatologist in the world.
Absolutely a glorious doctor, which I am grateful and will be grateful for the rest of my life.
Ps.: This year I'm changing my health care plan to a lower cost HMO that doesn't have her under coverage, but I will keep seeing her through concierge + self pay, because my life and her care is worthy much more than any high cost PPOs premiums that my husband have been paying in the...

After 9 months of swelling and pain and several doctors office visits, I called and got a video visit with Dr Magnano who within 2 minutes of discussion and showing her my swollen joints, she diagnosed my situation. She had me get a blood test to confirm her diagnosis, which was correct and prescribed medication that relived my symptoms in 24 hours! I had a simple case of gout. Given the fact that I explained to all the other physicians that I "just woke up with the swollen joints" and couldn't point out any specific activity that might cause swelling, I'm surprised they didn't even think to mention gout. I should have called Dr...
Read moreAstounding that Magnano wants to be a Concierge Doctor when she accepted numerous insurances, as she is changing to Concierge Doctor in December 2024. As I was not interested in paying monthly, she did not administer needed treatments, before the Concierge Doctor turn over in December while accepting insurances. If you pay her cash, perhaps she will administer needed treatments. Hopefully to be a Concierge Doctor you should be an exceptional doctor. That is not even close to this case, as well as the cash for treatment factor which informs you of the ethics and integrity...
