I have been visiting gastroenterologist for almost 40 years with chronic bowel problems. When my long time gastroenterologist retired, dr. Fernandez was recommended as one of the doctors who is taking over. Dr. Fernandes is very well informed on Gastro intestinal issues. As a very well informed patient I am able to say this as a fact. He is extremely thorough, comes in, having completely reviewed my record and gives me information about my condition to make me understand things much more clearly. He is kind, respectful of his patient's concerns, and clearly has their best interest at heart. I am a complicated patient who has had to navigate a lot of my medical issues on my own, but I feel for the first time I have a plan for my care that is palatable. Thank you, Dr. Fernandez.

My experience was fantastic. There was only a brief wait in the lobby, the doctor was prompt, and moved his own schedule around to accommodate my need for some screening next week.

He was very attentive to everything I describe to him . Made suggestions and moved forward and scheduled an EGD to help in the determination of my problem. A very nice young man. Five stars ?? for him.
