Dr Fernando was exceptional. It was obvious he had a heavy duty morning. That did not interfere with his level of service. He listened attentively, explained thoroughly, was very patient, most of all, I did not feel like another number in an assembly line. Even though though I am usually uncomfortable with male doctors, Dr. Fernando is one I would recommend in a heartbeat. He made me very comfortable during my examination. Grateful
