How likely are you to recommend Dr. Fernandez?
In 2010, Dr. Fernandez I underwent surgery on my left knee, which was very swollen and painful due to a torn meniscus. Since I was underwent surgery on by Dr. Fernandez, I have played soccer, volleyball, softball, and baseball I have run, jumped, and lifted heavy weights. In the 14 years since I underwent surgery, I have only had discomfort four times, and it was from lifting a weight that was heavier than I could handle on my own. I am 57 years old now, and I am very grateful to Dr. Fernandez for the dedication he puts into each of his patients this is not only for me, because when I arrived at his office, more than one of the older people who were there referred to Dr. Fernandez in this same way, and more than one even told me that you had chosen the best surgeon in all of Miami, and today July 10 2024 I confirm that it is true, Dr. Fernandez is the best surgeon I have ever met.Thanks Dr. Fernandez.
