Dr. Fernandes is perhaps the finest physician I've ever seen. He has recently performed surgery on both myself and my wife. We go in on our visits together, and he'll talk to both of us about each of our injuries with no issues. Today, I went in for carpal tunnel surgery, and he also re-wrapped my wife's finger that he had performed surgery on a few days ago, though this visit was strictly for me. That's not even something a doctor does. It's usually a job for a nurse. But he'll do anything that he believes will help his patients, regardless. His office was short-handed today, so he was doing a little bit of everything, and he did it humbly, gracefully, and in good humor. That's the kind of person he is, and that's why he's a fantastic surgeon. He's funny, he's young and energetic and has loads of advanced information. Up until now my brother was the best doctor I knew. But Dr. F has just edged ahead! It's a joy to know him.We SO highly recommend him. It's like we have a genius friend!
