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.

Dr Hernandez was recommended to me by a supervisor at las Palmas. He performed both makoplastys and have not had an issue since. Really really great work. Thanks!

STAY AWAY from A. Hernandez. He left me with a bad limp and serious leg length discrepancy after my TKR. On my visit to him only 20 days after my surgery. He yelled at me because I did not have full ROM and I had not even had my stitches taken out yet. When I went to him for help for my limp and LLD. He made the pointless comparison by comparing me to a 90-year-old woman who had the same surgery. He did not offer any assistance or advice on how to treat my limp or LLD. Only to say to keep doing my exercises. Then he practically kicked me out the door and just said for me to call him if I needed anything, when I already was there asking him for help and received none.

I had a doctor appointment with Dr. Alvaro Hernandez October 27th, for the sole purpose of reviewing my most recent Right Hip X-ray. Dr. Hernandez provided 100% absolute professional and cordial responses to all of my questions and concerns. As a long time patient with Dr Hernandez, I would recommend him to anyone seeking his professional care, with no reservations whatsoever, bar none.
