Dr Hernandez is truly a gem in the health care world. He was through, had read the chart prior to entering the room and made me feel like he genuinely cared. I felt heard when I spoke to him. I am so thankful I found this doctor.

Dr. Richard Hernandez is absolutely amazing! He truly cares about my needs as a patient and does so much to make sure everything is okay with my health by running bunch of labs. I never had a doctor who wanted to do all this for me. You have no idea how much I appreciate him for taking good care of me and my mental health. He always goes above and beyond!
Especially when I was concerned about my safety at home, he did so much to give me all the important information I need to keep my kids and I safe. I’m blessed to have him as my provider! Thank you!! 😊
