Dr. Fernandez has been my Pain Management Doctor for about 10 years. He is the best Doctor I have ever had in my 19 years of Chronic Pain. His staff couldn’t be any nicer too. I had several Doctors leading up to my first visit with Dr. Fernandez and he is without a doubt the best.

Having broken my neck 15 years ago the stenosis finally got to a point that I could hardly move my head. Dr Fernandez did two ablation treatments and suggested a few simple exercises to help correct all the stiffness and pain. After a few weeks I no longer had the pain and stiffness. In 15 years I’ve never felt this good! Thank you Dr. for fixing the problem…

Dr. Fernandez is a fabulous doctor not only with his knowledge of medicine and pain but also his kind and caring mannerisms. Always ready to answer all your questions and never feel rushed.

Dr. Fernandez listened very well and did not judge me for the sport I have participated in for 50 years. I have trained horses for an Olympic sport and I felt that he and his group would do all they could to make sure I will continue to ride and also improve my quality of life. I felt respected and he had a great sense of humor??

I felt that Dr Fernandez knowing my personal problems gave me his undivided attention. He made me feel that he was not only interested in my overall health but the many physical and mental challenges I am currently facing with my spouse. The treatment I received was very gentle and done with expertise.

Thank you Dr. Fernandez and staff for your kind care over this last year. I was losing hope that I could have less pain due to my arthritis and stenosis, etc. Dr Fernandez keeps trying new and state of the art procedures, and encourages me that we will keep trying ! That makes me feel safe and hopeful. and for that I am thankful.
