Dr Hernandez is patient care oriented and very responsive to patient concerns; he takes time for explanations and chart/medication findings and renewals... I would/have trust ed this physician with my care! Kim the nurse practitioner also is very responsive and provides quality patient care as she conducted critical EKG testing and vitals.... Great team at Wellstar Cherokee park! Finally Dr Hernandez takes the time to walk with you and show you out upon appointment completion ....this is never seen by other providers I have visited and demonstrates care , concern, and follow up....
