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.

He is great ..

Very skilled and caring
The staff made me feel very at ease during every part of the procedure. From the reminder texts, to walking through the door they eased my anxiety. I don’t remember anything about the procedure and couldn’t believe they were already finished. Susan walked me to the car and was so caring and friendly. It’s nice that the staff is not stressed out. It’s a very welcoming and friendly environment.

Colonascapy
Needles to say, quite nervous to go in for procedure. The entire staf was fantastic, made me feel confortble and best of all I didnt feel violated before being let go. Thanks for calming my nerves team. All in all I'd recommended get your screenings early to avoid complications later. I just had a friend only 55 die to colon cancer last month and it was not caught till May of this yr. My dad also diagnosed at 77 and now on colostomy bag. Get checked regularly people.

Relaxed Visit, Highly Recommend
Dr. Fernandez seems to be very relaxed and somewhat casual. Put me right at ease considering the condition I came to discuss. We settled on a plan for treatment and my worries are now assuaged. The whole staff is very friendly and courteous.
