He had been my main doctor for 20 years… even delivered my daughter. All was great until he suddenly cancelled all of his patient’s appointments, shut down his business & left town. I tried to contact him. He never returned my call. I have never been so disappointed in someone that I thought I knew…someone that I thought really care for his patients.

After dealing with a few doctors who didn't want to take my pain serious. I went to Dr. Fernandez, and he spent time with me talking about my medical history, what had been going on. Made a follow up appointment, and then he found the problem. We talked about my options, and since I had been in pain for almost 5 month going on 6, we decided surgery to go ahead and drain the cyst. I feel better knowing I have a doctor that isn't going to give me the run around, and takes my pain serious. I won't be going to anyone else now ever!
