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.

Great personality and Doctor
Sergio had a great bedside manner and none of the god complex that many doctors have. He is very friendly and has a lot of empathy as he is doing his surgery. Had outpatient surgery for an infected ingrown hair and the surgery was pain free and healed perfectly.

Best experiences ever!
I just had my second procedure with Dr. Hernandez. Both experiences were truly at the top of any procedures I’ve ever had done anywhere. Dr. Hernandez is extremely compassionate and truly excellent at what he does! Having had some horrendous medical experiences in the past, getting procedures done with Dr. Hernandez have been truly healing, in so many ways.

Sigmoidectomy
I’m happy to leave a review for Dr Hernandez. I am so pleased with the results of my robotic-assisted laparoscopic sigmoidectomy. My hospital stay was very brief, minimal post-op pain controlled by acetaminophen. Two weeks later, I’m almost 100%. Dr Hernandez is easy to communicate with, very reassuring, informative and never rushed our conversations. I’m so thankful to have found such a skilled and personable surgeon.

Compassionate and great Bed side manner
Dr. Hernandez performed surgery on my 77 year old mother which was pretty much an emergency procedure. He was very informative and explained the procedure and his expectations from his surgery. Dr. Hernandez has great communication and he definitely cares about his patients. 5 star for sure! Thank you for saving my moms life, we are forever grateful.

He scheduled me within a week. Surgery and recovery were painless. His touch was gentle. Stitches did not have any seepage. I was quite impressed by his skill.

Rapid response
Despite a relatively few hours of symptoms, I had a serious problem with my gallbladder. Dr. Hernandez was able to get me into the OR schedule quickly. And owing to his talent and experience with robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery, I was able to bounce back in just a few days from a situation that could have ended much differently.

Last month, I had to go through an unexpected emergency surgery. The general surgeon on call, Dr. Hernandez, helped me and he was so incredibly helpful. He explained the situation clearly and the entire process went smoothly. Afterwards, the recovery process was very quick and I was able to return to work after a week. Overall, Dr. Hernandez was amazing and I appreciated how he took the time to make sure his patients feel comfortable and taken care of.

I felt very confident with Dr Hernandez and his treatment. He was able to squeeze me in and make my surgery happen. We arrived at the hospital at 5:45 and we were in the car leaving by 10:45. What an amazing process.

Best of the Best
Dr. Sergio Hernandez is an absolutely caring person, and caring surgeon. I had my sigmoid colon removed. Dr. Hernandez explained exactly the process before the surgery so that I would understand exactly what was going to be performed . Post surgery while in the hospital. Dr Hernandez would visit daily to check in and see that my health was going in the right direction. The knowledge, kindness, and professionalism is why I’m writing this review. I recommend Dr Sergio Hernandez with the highest ratings possible. I could not thank him enough …… Best in Class !!!
