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 has been my primary care physician for 7 years. I have always received the best care.

Outstanding!!!
Dr. Hernandez took all the time necessary to completely evaluate me, listening attentively to my questions and concerns. He was very open to discussing various treatment options and possibilities, reviewing them frankly and without pressure. I especially appreciated the fact that he maintained eye contact throughout my appointment, never looking away to type at a keyboard. In addition, his staff was super attentive and caring, as well. Overall-an outstanding experience!!

Both Kelly and Dr. Hernandez were welcoming faces. My records were already there. Quest had sent my labs. They both answered my questions. Dr. Hernandez gave me a thorough exam. The office staff gave me orders, sent prescription orders. They also copied my labs. All in all, a very positive experience!
