Patient Reviews
May 01, 2024
Dr Hernandez is not only a professional psychiatrist but a totally compassionate care giver who treats his patients like family!! He has saved my wife’s life by his great care.. He is not today’s typical doctor that treats patients like a commodity. Also, his staff of beauty queens are also very professional and compassionate! They also treat us like family!! Dr H and the staff should receive an increase in compensation. You don’t find caregivers like Dr. H and his staff OFTEN, so any patient seeking the best treatment needs to connect with him!!
