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.

Very Knowledgeable Doctor and Very Caring
The doctor was not only very knowledgeable and professional she was always very caring and empathetic which is a very rare combination nowadays. Great bedside manners and very thorough.

As a person with a chronic illness finding a trustworthy doctor that will be a long term part of my care team is something we continually work on. Dr. Vania Fernandez is amazing. A blessing. She listens to my input and details (even the most simple sounding info she takes serious). My quality of life is owed to Dr. Fernandez’s guidance using all that input. The staff all the way from the desk to her nurses/techs are fantastic, friendly & helpful. If all my specialists offices were run this smoothly my healthcare would be so much less stressful!! I’m grateful to have been introduced to BSI and Dr Fernandez, I hope someone else desperately searching for care finds her and her office too!

I came in with terrible back pain to see Dr. Fernandez. She was meticulous in history taking, and my symptoms. She took wonderful care of me and I felt so cared for. I am not an easy patient in that I ask so many questions but she was so patient in explaining everything and I knew I was in the best hands. Her procedure on my back was wonderful in that it took care of the back pain. I highly recommend Dr. Fernandez. So professional, caring and knowledgeable!

This is as good as a medical office can be in every way possible. I have a lot of experience with doctors. I am 65 years old and disabled with multiple medical problems. I came to see Dr. Fernandez due to a severely painful right knee which was so bad I was bed ridden for approximately three months. One step on my right leg put me in agonizing pain. I was in trouble. Then by God's good grace I find Dr. Vania Fernandez and her fine staff. Here is what I found amazing about her office. She and her medical staff are all upbeat and encouraging at all times. Careful consideration was given to my medical history and all of the other relevant facts. The advice Dr. Fernandez and her medical staff gave me was well thought out. It became very obvious to me that Dr. Vania Fernandez and her medical staff wanted me cured in the fastest amount of time possible without doing anything unnecessary to achieve this result.

Dr. Fernandez has given me my life back. After several needless dental procedures, acupuncture appointments , 3 1/2 years of endless doctors appointments with no relief or answers, Dr. Fernandez has been a God send. She is knowledgeable, understanding and experienced with my condition. The office staff is also wonderful and efficient. Erin & Bertha are great!!

Doctor Fernandez is a consummate professional she is highly trained knowledgeable compassionate and caring.I've been seeing her for over 3 years and she's never given up on me. She would always try a different way to treat me if one way didn't work. She's fantastic I love her and I would recommend her in an instant to anyone of my family and friends.

Both my husband and I visited Dr. Fernández’s practice because we were dealing with pain (back and shoulder respectively). Dr. Fernández is extremely attentive, professional and genuinely caring. She took the time to really listen to our concerns and thoroughly answer questions. Every visit has been consistently positive. I feel she really takes the time to get to know us and understand our needs.

No stars from me. It has taken me over one year to express my complete dissatisfaction with this Dr. She performed a horrific epidural spinal injection on me and almost paralyzed me. I don't recommend her and I want to save anyone from going through the horrible experience. I was treated like it was my fault. Was left to recover ALONE in a room. She pushes for procedures and medication that are not necessary. It has taken me almost 2 years and my body is not 100%recuperate by her mistake
