Very professional yet concern for the patient as a person
Great Doctor! Very knowledgeable and positive. He takes as much time necessary with each visit..I highly recommend Dr. "Mike."
Such a caring doctor. Followed up on how I was feeling and that the meds were helping. I am grateful for his care and guidance.
The best! This is a Dr. who takes his job seriously. He is the best at diagnosing existing issues and recognizing potential issues. This is the person you want looking after your health and guiding you to improve your health. He genuinely cares about your well-being. You may have to learn patience waiting to see him. That is because he takes the time to listen to patients and be thorough in his examinations. You don’t want someone to rush through the examination, do you? I don’t. He treats everyone as important individuals.
Dr. Hernandez, as one in 1 million when it comes to having a GP who really listens and cares. he takes the whole patient and their lifestyle into account and also gives the patient credit instead of just talking at them. He’s my absolute favorite doctor!
