I was/am considering [...] and Dr Hernandez and his assistant and I had a frank and honest discussions about the pros and cons. For such a big decision I appreciate their honesty and listening to my concerns.
Dr. Hernandez has gone above and beyond in his efforts to relieve my hip pain and still provide me with a functional hip. His creativity and willingness to take me on' as his patient was no easy task I'm sure, but his tenacity and diligence has really paid off for my quality of life and I'm extremely grateful.
30 minutes prior to our scheduled time, Dr Hernandez personally escorted us to the exam room. He asked questions about my goals and answered all our questions fully. We were not rushed and I was ready to proceed with him as my knee surgeon. He then suggested I might have better experience with a partial knee, which he didn't do. He asked me to see a colleague who did that sort of surgery. Then walked us out to the check in desk and facilitated an appointment with the other surgeon for 2 weeks. Amazing physician!!
