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.

I am 70 yrs old, retired Firefighter and Vietnam Veteran. I have gone thru 32 operations since 1980. Two operations because of my heart, victim of agent orange. Of all the Doctors I have seen I rate Dr. Hernandez beyond the highest grade that you could give. He is not only a great Doctor, he is a very caring human being who actually listens to what you say. The care he has given me is outstanding. I can not thank him or praise him enough for keeping me alive. He has always given me the answers to all my questions and educated me on much more. You won't be able to find a better Doctor or human being like him. Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Hernandez

Ernesto Hernandez, MD RE: Termination of Your Service Dear Dr. Hernandez: Starting on 8/24 the Publix Pharmacy Canton, contacted your practice multiple times to arrange for a new script for Janotoven/Warfarin. They say there has been no response from your office. I have also used the MyChart Wellstar feature to twice 'Request RX Refill'. Nothing has happened up to this writing on 9/8. This is not an acceptable level of care and for my Cardio needs I will in future be using Heart and Vascular

He Listens! He explains things and puts test results in perspective. He accommodates an emergency visit and does everything he can to get required data to whomever I need to have it in my file. He's patient, he has a calm demeanor. Initially, I only had to see him for clearance for post-MVA emergency surgery due to family history. I've had & will have numerous additional orthopaedic surgeries. He is very accommodating. He gets me (some medical background) and discusses things at my level.
