    Dec 14, 2022
    Dr. Hernandez has been treating my mom and we are so thankful for his care. He takes his time and truly takes an interest on what is best for the patient. He doesn’t just give medications but looks at blood work and test results to make the best decision on what the patient needs. He and his staff are wonderful!
