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!!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
