Dr. Hernandez is professional. He is personable and sincere. Unlike some of my other doctors, Dr Hernandez presents as as very likable. Just know some of my new doctors are very new to me. I miss my previous primary physician only because this doctor was removed due to staffing issues due to reduction in stats and closure of my previous clinic. So these new doctors were not so personable. So I have no bounds with my doctors. Dr. Hernandez has filled in the gap of what I expect from these doctors. Dr. Hernandez is exceptional. I look forward to my continued success with him.
