As both grandmother & social worker I am beyond grateful to Dr. Hernandez how he has gone above & beyond to calm our fears of herschsprung. The news was devastating for us considering that my granddaughter was only 2 days old. Dr. Hernandez would answer our calls 24/7 to answer anything that we noticed about our baby. Ad a social worker I ALWAYS recommend Dr. Hernandez to any family that are having medical issues with their children in regards to surgeries. We are beyond graceful to his dedication to his job. We do not see Dr's like him anymore or any where else.
