Dr. Maridel Hernandez, DO

Very helpful

In 2010,I went to see Dr. Hernandez for my yearly physical.As the physical was about over I mentioned a lump that had appeared in my groin area.Dr. said it's probably nothing,but since it was near a lympth node and given my family history she orderd a pelvis and abdomen CT.Within days we got the results.I had a small mass on my left kidney.She referred me to a Urologist , Dr. Edward Shervish and an oncologist. After two negative biopsies my Urologist performed a live biopsy,it was determined to be renal cell carcinoma and my kidney was removed.Without Dr. Hernandez's initial intervention,this mass would've kept growing.Like many cancers,renal cell carcinoma can be fatal once symptoms appear when it's not caught early. At this time, I'm 12 plus years cancer free but still have my yearly cancer screening as part of my physical. As far as the growth in my groin area,it was a fatty tumor that disappeared 2 weeks after it appeared.Dr.Hernandez is my forever hero!!

I've been a patient of Dr. Hernandez for several years and have always found her to be attentive and caring. The office scheduling and communication needs improvement, expect questions to go unanswered and calls not returned - by Dr. or staff. So you have to be extra persistent. And as other reviews have noted, Bart at the front desk isn't the friendliest or courteous person unfortunately. I began seeing a new doctor due to the office issues.

My parents were patients of Dr. Hernandez many many years ago. Medically she treated my parents exceptionally, emotionally she is rare. I have worked in the medical field over 40 years and it is not often (especially in recent decades) to find a physician with knowledge, empathy and time. Fortunately she is now my physician.

She had been my primary care physician since she started her practice I believe it's over 20 years and she has saved my life three times with her incredible wealth of knowledge. I give her a symptom she gets me the test and is always 100% right. If she were accepting more patients I would invite the world to see her. She's extremely compassionate caring and is a doctor that listens to what you're saying about you and your body, mind and Spirit.

very disappointed when I called my RA doctor wanted me to see her and on the web they say she is taking new patients, when I called a man answered that was not very friendly he just said No she is not taking new patients.. so I guess it was not ment for me to see her .

I LOVE DR. HERNANDEZ, I'VE BEEN SEEING HER FOR OVER 10 YEARS, I WOULD SAY I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS ON HER OFFICE MANAGER THOUGH, BART SEEMS VERY DRY, BORDERLINE RUDE, AND DOESNT ENGAGE WITH THE PATIENTS VERY WELL. HE ALMOST MAKES ME ANXIOUS WHEN I CALL TO GET REFILLS. OTHER THAN THAT I LOVE HER AND AM ALSO EXTREMELY HAPPY SHE MOVED HER OFFICE CLOSER TO MY LOCATION.

Dr Hernandez is the most amazing physician that I've met during my 65 years. She is gentle, empathic and warm. I think if she were among a large group of physicians, she'd be the smartest person in the room. I love her and feel fortunate that she's my family's physician.

Well I did not get to visit, I called to schedule my appointment I was told I could not schedule because they weren't accepting new patients even though the network says they are. However I am glad that I am not able to go because the manager was very rude to me, kept talking over me asking me why did you have medical results sent here and you've never been here, were a private office. I was trying to tell him that on my end it shows that I was accepted and could make a appointment on 7/1/2020. I asked who I am I speaking with this is Bart the manger for here. So even though I heard great things about Dr. Hernadez I feel that the manger should represent you better than Bart did. Health care you would think its a place where people care about people.

I’ve been going to Dr. H for about 10 years and she is amazing! The most caring doctor I’ve ever known. She takes time to get to know her patients personally, understand any issues they may be having and is extremely thorough in her diagnosis and treatment plans. Best doctor I’ve ever been to. I so ll never switch doctors!

I'm a former patient. My mother, who passed away in May, was a patient of hers and had Stage 4 liver cancer that Dr. Hernandez FAILED to detect in spite of serious symptoms spanning several months and TWO previous blood tests showing abnormally elevated liver enzymes. She also had constant tachycardia, which she "assumed" was my mom's blood pressure medication not working anymore. Didn't even bother to order a catscan and simply told her to get one with a new doctor after moving out of state.

I love Dr. Hernandez, she is caring, considerate, extremely intelligent...everything you would look for in a physician. My 1 complaint is regarding her office assistant/receptionist Bart...he on the other hand has refused to forward messages to Dr. Hernandez, he is rude assistant and unprofessional. He is a bad representation of what a great physician he works for.

Dr. Hernandez, makes you feel like family. On my first visit I felt like we have known each other for years.

Dr Hernandez is an incredible dr. She sees several of my family members and I have referred many friends, all of whom have been equally happy with her care. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, she is a patient advocate, and spends the time to figure out exactly what is wrong without giving up. She treats her patients with respect and empowers them to actively participate in their healthcare. she is warm and kind- I don't know where we'd be without Dr. Hernandez---she's truly one of a kind

Dr. Hernandez is an amazing combination of Smartest Guy in the Room and a caring and nurturing individual. She is capable of putting together complex facts and coming out with a correct diagnosis and a treatment plan that works. She will stay with you until all of your concerns are addressed. I have been been her patient for several years and have recommended several family members and friends to her.

Dr. Hernandez is fantastic. Everything you would want from your doctor. She is positive, energetic, and has a we-can-do attitude. I transferred after having been with my previous doctor of 20 years (who retired). I think she is a delight. Just had to make an emergency type appointment. Got me in next day.
