Saw his PA....she was very nice
Very nice, explained everything very well.
Extremely poor post surgery care. You don’t see the doctor, only his PA. No follow through on surgical complications.
Dr. Fernandes successfully navigated a difficult wrist surgery for my son and got him back to full functionality as quickly as possible.
The wait in the back office was way to long. He was nice but never looked at my hands.
Dr. Fernandes was very kind and explained the hand surgery to me. The staff was as very helpful and made me feel at ease.
I feel like I’m able to trust Dr. Fernandes’s experience, advice, and recommendations. He’s worth his weight in gold.
Recomiendo a este profesional explica con detalle y se interesa en el paciente es Joven. Ojalá y conserve ese estilo de trabajo.
Staff professional PA very knowledgeable Dr explained everything very well
This was our first meeting ever. It would’ve been nice if Dr Fernandez had introduced himself when he came into the room. When a doctor doesn’t acknowledge me when he comes into the room with a Healow or a handshake and in this instance since it was our first visit, his name and a hand shake, it makes me feel he considers me as a very insignificant person when there is no greeting.
