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.

Don’t miss out!
Dr. Fernández is one of the people I most recommend to new moms or moms looking for a new Ped. We are always thankful for her!

Dr. Fernández is an amazing pediatrician that is passionate about her work! As a first time mother, I have many questions each visit and she manages to respond to them before I even ask them; this is how thorough she is with each visit we have. I am extremely grateful for the care she provides my daughter and I am so happy we chose her as our pediatrician!

Dr. Fernandez is the best pediatrician in the South Bay! We love her!!!!! I recently got a job offer and turned it down because the company insurance would make me leave her as our children's physician and I refused to let that happen! She is so thorough and goes the extra mile. Makes you feel like you've known her forever and the kids are so comfortable with her. My son had torticollis & she found it at his 2 week appt. educated me on it & was amazing!

Dr Fernandez is an amazing pediatrician! She is amazing with kids, and very practical and middle of the road. She takes things seriously but is not alarmist. I love that she has 3 young boys of her own too, so she always has lots of practical advise for new moms. An amazing doctor! The entire practice is great as well-- I've never had trouble getting an appointment and they are all very competent and nice.

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Dr. Fernandez is as our Pediatrician. Every appointment we've had with her she has been an A++ experience. Dr. Fernandez goes above and beyond to make sure that both of my daughters get the best care. She is very patient and never rushes through any of our appointments. I love that she makes herself easily accessible after hours. We love her so much that my new nephew is now one of her patients. She is overall one of the BEST in the South Bay!

Dr. Fernandez has taken great care of my two boys for five years, and I couldn't be happy with her. She is direct, clear, and informative but also warm, kind, and nurturing. She has given me tough advice whenever necessary and care whenever we need it. Plus, Dr. Fernandez is a mom too, so she gets it. I couldn't recommend her more highly!!

I can?t say enough good things about Dr. Fernandez. She has been so amazing with my two girls, and my oldest who?s four, actually gets excited to go to her doctor?s appointments so she can see Dr. Fernandez, shots or no shots. Dr. Fernandez patiently listens to my questions and responds with care and great insight. She's always been prompt with returning calls and reporting on lab results. She really knows her stuff, and she has a huge heart. I trust her completely and recommend her highly.

Dr. Raquel Fernandez is the best pediatrician! We knew that she was the one we wanted to take care of our kids before they were born. My children are 3 and 1 and feel so comfortable with Dr. Fernandez. She always takes her time with us and answers all my questions. On numerous occasions she has even answered my questions when the office is closed. She is definitely a rare find. It's wonderful to know that my children are in such good hands.
