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.

He performed my umbilical hernia surgery in 2013. I was told I would be able to return to work in 3 days, post op. A seemingly easy procedure.. “I’ll be done in 15 minutes, he gloated.” Yeah, not so much! I was bed ridden for 5 weeks. The surgery didn’t even require mesh. It’s been 5 years since the surgery. I’ve since had 3 ultrasounds and the results show massive amounts of scar tissue across my abdomen, which is completely baffling since I had a 1 inch hernia. STAY AWAY!!! 0 stars

Dr. Hermengildo performed routine hernia surgery on me. It turned out to be anything but routine. Minutes after getting home from day surgery, I lost my hearing, eyesight and ability to speak. It was later determined that I was severely bleeding internally and spent 7 days in I.C.U. I received multiple blood transfusions and was told I came within minutes of bleeding to death internally. My life now is a living hell and have lifetime, permanent damage, leaving me disabled. STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!!!

dismissive and condescending. the office staff lacked motivation and efficiency. after my visit i learned of two others - my neighbor & friend, who had extremely horrible/life debilitating surgery experiences with him. So glad, i knew to stay away!! i honestly do not understand how this man has his license. i honestly would give negative stars if possible. unfortunately, it's sad but very very true. i strongly advise seeing another dr if possible.
