Dr. Fernandez was punctual, professional and listened to all my concerns. She was quite thorough in explaining the need for additional tests. I am so impressed with her kind and gentle manner that I have already recommended her to several family members.
She is the first doctor I've seen that actually listens to her patients. Both my husband and I see Dr Fernandez as our primary. She is attentive and kind. She offers suggestions and solutions that are thoughtful and she's open to your opinions and needs. I have recommended her to everyone I've spoken to her about.

Totally disappointed that I went for a complete physical but they rescheduled me to come back for blood work. I have never heard anything like that. I didn't eat just for that purpose. I also complained of pain in my ankles and she didn't even suggest getting further tests done.
