Redefining the Patient-Provider Relationship
Discover the values, experience, and clinical philosophy behind Sigla Primary Care & Wellness.
"Healthcare should be personal, accessible, and centered around the patient—not insurance companies."
Our Story
The Origin of Sigla
Sigla Primary Care & Wellness was founded on a simple, unchanging belief: healthcare should be personal, accessible, and centered around the patient—not insurance companies.
Throughout his career as a nurse practitioner, Dr. Cristopher Cipriano has cared for patients across family medicine, internal medicine, hospital medicine, geriatrics, urgent care, hematology-oncology, and hormone replacement therapy. These diverse clinical experiences reinforced how vital strong patient-provider relationships are to successful health outcomes. However, they also highlighted the deep-seated challenges of the current insurance-driven medical system: rushed appointments, fragmented care, long wait times, and severely restricted access to providers.
Dr. Cipriano founded Sigla to build a better path forward. By adopting the Direct Primary Care model, Sigla removes the third-party barriers to care, allowing the provider to dedicate ample time to each individual, prioritize prevention and education, and support your long-term wellness.
Clinical Philosophy
We treat the whole person, not just a diagnosis.
We believe that exceptional medical care begins with listening. Because every patient possesses a unique medical history, lifestyle, and wellness vision, every treatment plan we design is individualized rather than one-size-fits-all.
At Sigla, we blend evidence-based primary care with proactive wellness-focused therapies. Whether you are seeking acute care, navigating chronic disease management, balancing hormones, or working toward sustainable weight management, our goal is to uncover root contributing factors, educate you on your options, and collaboratively build practical, life-enhancing care plans.
Listen First
Exceptional care begins with hearing your full story—not a 10-minute checklist.
Individualized
Every plan is built around your history, lifestyle, and personal wellness vision.
Root-Cause
We uncover contributing factors instead of masking symptoms.
Proactive
Evidence-based primary care paired with forward-looking wellness therapies.

Dr. Cris Cipriano, D.N.P.
APRN, AGACNP-BC, FNP-C
As a Filipino-American born in the Philippines and raised in the United States, Dr. Cris Cipriano's perspective on care is deeply rooted in his family's heritage. His parents immigrated to the United States in pursuit of opportunities, eventually becoming proud citizens. Their resilience, relentless work ethic, and dedication to serving others formed the foundation of Dr. Cipriano's character.
Notably, his father proudly served in the United States Navy, retiring as a Chief Petty Officer after a distinguished 24-year military career. His father's leadership, integrity, and devotion to service, combined with his mother's profound selflessness, instilled in Dr. Cipriano the core values of compassion, discipline, humility, and perseverance. These principles govern his medical practice today.
"One of the greatest privileges of practicing medicine is connecting with people from all walks of life. Every individual deserves to feel heard, respected, and fully understood. My goal is to build an inclusive, welcoming space where you feel completely comfortable taking an active, empowered role in your health journey."
Outside of his clinical practice, Dr. Cipriano stays active through fitness, traveling, spending valued time with family, and dedicating himself to continuous learning. He actively practices the balanced, health-conscious lifestyle he guides his patients to achieve.
