Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A modern day Marcus Welby MD.
Very impressed with the professionalism that Dr. Fernandez provides and his ability to patiently listen and give quality advice. He has a caring calm and down to earth manner that puts you at ease. He is also to be commended for his listening skills, a quality that is not always found. You are fortunate to have him.

Usually if you need to see your doctor, you already feel not the best and perhaps feeling vulnerable. Dr Fernandez listens with compassion, asks specific questions, and discusses his thoughts with you during your visit. He helps you work with him to help you heal. At the least you always feel more optimistic and in good hands. And he is very open about answering your questions even if they seem silly! He was the first doctor I saw when I discovered I had breast cancer- he took charge and made me feel supported by setting up surgery and biopsy concerns. We are lucky he is here.

He answers any questions we have and explains what is going on. If medication is necessary he explains why. Also super-clean exam rooms, tables. Washes hands and puts on clean gloves each patient. Great with elderly patients.

Dr. Fernandez utilizes sufficient time to explain conditions and treatment options and does not appear to let any time pressure affect the thoroughness of his explanations. When I recently needed to refill a prescription, his team (nurse) worked diligently with the insurance company to ensure the medications, which were backordered at the prescribed dose, were delivered right away at the dosage that was available.

Our personal preferences do not match him. When we came in to try to figure out heart pains my husband's been having, he said it was unlikely to be anything serious because he is "fit," and not "obese." He did an ekg, and prescribed anti-acids and stress controllers - despite the fact we told him its not that. We recently learned his fam has a gene that effects the upper-left ventricle of the heart. Only a sonogram will show this. NOT using Fernandez, who prescribed meds 1st, to test for this.
