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.

Excellence award!
I chose Dr Fernandez to be my surgeon after consulting with 3 other surgeons in the area. His lifetime of dedication as a surgical oncologist and specialist gave me the confidence I needed to choose him. He was endorsed by another surgeon as being 'technically skilled and gifted'. He and his team were a gift to me through my surgery and recovery. Along with a warm personality, he is able to explain things and answer questions in a way that a person with medical knowledge can understand. I am grateful.
