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.

Excellent thorough evaluation/ surgical management of bilateral cataracts in a patient with severe nearsightedness, which is even more of a challenge.

Excellent Dr.
I recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Hernandez and must say that I could not be in better hands. Excellent professional with miracle hands. I thank him for his kindness and excellent job. Five stars are still low, he deserves more.

Dr. Hernandez, Jr. Removed a cataract from my right eye and replaced the lens. It was fantastic. He is a skilled and accomplished surgeon and doctor. The operation was flawless and the recovery was minimal. The difference in my vision is literally night and day. I can’t adequately express my appreciation for Dr. Hernandez, Jr. He is one of the best that there is.

Dr. Hernández Jr is an excellent doctor. He has very good bedside manners. He explains everything clearly to the last detail. He is patient and friendly. I am very satisfied with his care. I had surgery of both eyes. I am grateful to know him and his father for the last 40 years. I highly recommend both.
