Dr Ernesto Hernandez was very kind to me when he knew I was very nervous. It was my first time of getting a shot In my foot. He was so good. I almost didn't feel the stinging. He was very kind and gentle. Thank you.

Dr. Hernandez provided a very thorough evaluation of the ankle CT scan pinpointing the specific degraded areas that need treatment. He also reviewed all options for moving ahead and scheduling the work.
