It is a bonus to receive prompt results, thus minimizing any anxiousness. BUT, my compliments extend, this time to the way EVERY precaution was taken to protect both the patient and the staff in the midst of the COVID-19 issue. From 1 patient at a time, to immediate sanitizing of anything touched, and respectful social distancing. Thank you one and all.

05/15/2020

The scheduling person seemed annoyed to have to schedule my appointment and even to be talking with me at all. She made a stressful situation even worse. I also did not feel that I was heard during my visit and also left confused by what was shared and next steps.

05/02/2020

04/02/2020

Everyone there is great.

03/27/2020

couldn't ask for a better Team...!

03/23/2020

Office Visit / Follow-up

Dr. Lydia Hernandez is an exceptionally good doctor. She goes above and beyond patient care. Her bedside manner is absolutely the best of best. She truly cares. I have seen a lot of doctors in my lifetime and hands down she is truly the best! She takes time out of her busy schedule to let you know results when she gets them, meaning after business hours. In my personal experience, I have never had a doctor to personally call a patient. She deserves a medal in my opinion and should definitely be recognized as an excellent doctor and a great person!!
