I TOOK MY 82 YEAR OLD MOTHER WITH HIM TO EVALUATE HER HIP PAIN AND WE HAD THE WORST TIME AND VERY POOR EVALUATION, HE ONLY SPENT 3 MINUTES WITH HER, BARELY EXAMINE AND DID NOT WANT ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM US. GO AND SEE SOMEONE ELSE, HE IS A REAL WASTE. HE EVEN ASKED HER TO LOSE WEIGHT AND HE IS AND OBESE PHYSICIAN.

Dr. Hernandez replaced both of my knees this year. I recovered quickly following both procedures, and for the the first time in many years I can move and walk without pain, crunching, or imbalance. It has been life changing and anyone considering knee replacement should strongly consider consultation with him.

Dr. Hernandez is a very skilled surgeon. We have seen him for partial knee replacement, tendonitis, other knee issues, and shoulder pain issues. The only concern we have is his time with the patient. He looks like he is rushed for time not spending a little more time with us. So, Dr. Hernandez, please slow down a bit. We love you dearly. Thank you for what you do.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hernandez for a number of years. He's such a caring doctor and takes his time to explain everything to you in detail. He also has a great sense of humor!!
