Flip-flops are a summertime staple, but when it comes to foot support, they leave something to be desired.

I went to Dr. Hernandez for a second opinion. He was much better than the first doctor I went to that is retiring (Dr. Alan Jones). Dr. Hernandez actually listened to me and treated my toe for the pain I'd been in for months and explained that my issue would require a much simpler surgery than the one suggested by Dr. Jones. Because of his recommendation, I plan to get the surgery soon and permanently fix the issue with my fifth toes.

Dr Hernandez fusion ankle surgery has given me a new life. Due to the deterioration of my ankle, I was having a very difficult time walking. The outstanding work completed by Dr Hernandez is allowing me to regain many of my basic functions plus improved exercising levels. I can't say about the great work and results. I am very thankful and appreciative!

Provider start time was way past appt time agreed, zero enthusiasm in his tone of voice. I review his documentation and grammar was off. I thought it was interesting that he documented a thorough evaluation of my feet when never bother to check anything like he documented.
