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.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Fernandez is focused while also patient.

Excellent PCP
Dr. Fernandez spends time with the patient explaining his evaluations and diagnoses. He is conservative with treatments, which I like - nothing unnecessary or frivolous unless it’s called for.

Truly the best
I can’t say enough good things about how wonderful Dr. Fernandez is. He is attentive, caring, he listens to you,. He explains everything about my blood work clearly and patiently. I have to switch doctors due to moving out of the area. I will miss him greatly.
