Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Bedside Manners!
This was my first visit to Dr. Hernandez, and both he and his office staff were delightful!

Outstanding Nephrologist
Dr. Hernandez is very knowledgeable and encouraging. I told him that my goal was to stay off of dialysis. He replied, "That's my goal for you also." He explained my condition, listened to my concerns, and gave thoughtful advice after reviewing ALL of my records. He coordinates with my other doctors. Dr. Hernandez is SMART and practices with his heart and brain. I feel fortunate to have found him.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Hernandez listens! That is one excellent aspect of his practice and patient relationships. He cares and is up to date with medications, therapies, and treatments to benefit any patient who needs a physician that treats the kidneys.

My parents just experienced the most horrible doctor-patient/responsibility and etiquette possible! It’s sad how doctor’s don’t care about their patients true well being anymore, but just about making sure they get paid by the insurances . Although my father had an appointment the doctor refused to see him because he didn’t receive “some lab results,” so he’d be wasting his time. My father is currently very ill, so we begged them to check him anyway and they said it wasn’t their problem!

Was very impressed with Dr. Hernandez. His office was very patient friendly and he himself has incredible Doctor/patient communication skills. He has a very "calming" tone and is very professional. Recommend him highly.

Dr. Hernandez is a very ethical and professional doctor. To him the patient always comes first. I like that we work together to come up with my treatment. He explains to me the changes that he wants to make and considers my opinion in making such changes.

Dr. Hernandez is a very professional physician. He has excellent knowledge of the medical field. He is one of those physicians you look forward to his visits because his patient-doctor interaction is very good. He is not just staring at a computer screen the entire visit. If you are looking for a nephrologist who knows his field and treats patients with dignity, look no further.

Dr. German Hernandez was my Mother's doctor ten years ago until her passing and continues to be my 67 year Down Syndrome brother's doctor to date. There are not enough words to express his knowledge of medicine, his kindness, his professionalism and humanity. He is a man of faith and always listens to you. We are lucky to have in our lives.
