I always have a good experience when I go see my doctor. He's a very good doctor. The staff is nice. I'm treated with respect and I wouldn't change doctors unless I had to go somewhere else because he sent me somewhere else for a reason. But I will keep him as my doctor because he's very good, he's very accurate, and he's a good personality. He don't rush and he's polite and he's a good doctor. And I would recommend him to anybody.

Dr. Hernandez is awesome. He has helped me through different stages of dealing with atrial fib and installing a punch man procedure and being able to get me on a CPAP, being able to control the AFib medication and now hopefully with this device. So it has been awesome to be able to have him. I'm very grateful that I'm able to be his patient.
