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.

The best in Central Florida
The best in Central Florida!!!! Doctor Cardona is amazing! He is the type of Doctor that would play with your child while assessing them so they would cooperate and not be afraid of the tools or assessment. He is very caring and compassionate. Would recommend 100%.

Amazing Doctor!
Dr Cardona had been my son’s Doctor since Garrett was about 4 years old. He came to work at Windermere Peds. When Dr C. went out on his own… my son insisted on finding him. In fact we found out He was on his own. Called from the parking lot n got an appointment 2 hrs later. My son aged out or He would still be going there.

Dr. Cardona is the most amazing pediatrician, especially for 1st time parents. We travel from Clermont to take our kids to see him, that's how great of a doctor he is. I highly recommend him and our kids will continue to be his patients until they are adults.

This doctor is thorough kind and caring. He is also well connected with other very qualified quality physicians. His recommendations have always helped my son, and I have referred him to others. He is a very good doctor. He has been my son's PCP for 4 years now. Not once have I been disappointed.

Dr. Cardona is the best pediatrician we've had. He was a saving grace to our daughter when she was very sick, and not only he had helped us in regards to our sick daughter, but was very personable, and made us at ease ! We are first time parents, and he made us feel very comfortable around him! He is the greatest!

We were in Florida adopting our son who was born on Thanksgiving and needed a follow up with a pediatrician while we were there. Dr Cardona was amazing! Was very personable and informative. He took his time with our son and with talking to us. I wish his practice was in our home state! His office staff were very friendly and helpful as well.

Dr. Hernando Cardona and his pediatric office the BEST!! We have moved out of Orlando and we miss him so much!!! He is hands-down one of the best pediatrician!I was beyond impressed with my experience at this doctor office and I was completely blown away by how helpful and kind He is! He is very relaxed, very caring, great bedside manners, can joke when the time is right and can be serious when time is needed. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone that values their kids health!

Dr. Cardona is absolutely the best around!!! He has been my daughter's pediatrician since she was born and provides nothing but the best care for my child!! I love the way he connects with my daughter during office visits, instead of talking over her head like most doctors do with children!! I highly recommend him to anyone with children. He's the BEST and we LOVE him!!

My children have always gone to Windermere Pediatrics, with my firstborn seeing Dr. Cardona as her primary pediatrician. Now that he has his own practice, it's been a much smoother experience taking all of my three girls to see him. He takes his time with each child, and makes sure he has addressed all our concerns before we leave his office. He is excellent with children, and my children love him.

He has been the best pediatrician my Familly has had. I have four boys and he was only able to treat 3 because I moved away, to this day I still have not found such a dedicated Dr. With so much passion and enthusiasm. He definitely will make your kids feel at ease. My boys where actually happy to go to an appointment with him.
