I’m almost certain that he ask to grab my private parts when I was a kid . For no reason . And told me not to tell my parents !! I understand is that I’m older . I say that to say watch your kids . Every time I would come in rather it’s for cold or what ever he ask to see my balls and ask me to cough .

He does not offer appointments. Everyone has to show up at either 9AM or 2PM and you wait for hours because for some reason he does not make appointments. Often people line up outside the office and wait. The wait is too long and the staff are usually rude and confused. Dr. Hernandez rushes each patient. He sees you for like 2 minutes and them rushes you out the door.

Myself and family members have been going to Dr. Hernandez for about 10 years. He's wonderful. Very, very busy - takes on too many patients but is very kind and caring to all. No appointment necessary but the wait can be 4 hours. You never get turned away. That's his selling point. He's very knowlegeable and has never missed on a diagnosis. Some of his patients are scary though as he takes all who come through the door! Love you Dr. Hernandez.
