My surgery with Dr. Fernandez went better than expected. He and his surgical team were amazing and very attentive to my needs during my stay at Citrus Memorial. He also has an excellent bedside manner. I felt very confident and comfortable allowing him to perform my surgery.

Dr. Fernandez was pleasant, knowledgeable, as well helpful. What impressed me most was the assessment, the options, and the let’s get it done approach. No guessing. No waiting forever. Great staff. Everyone was kind. I could not have asked for better services than were provided. I feel certain your visit will be equally successful.

Only 4 stars as it was my initial visit. Doctor was very thorough in his examination, and I was quite satisfied with his diagnosis. I will be having surgery in two weeks, and I am sure I will have a more complete review after recovery is complete. I didn't like the fact that he told me I would have to take six weeks off from playing golf. That's okay. I don't play very well anyways.
