Dr. Zarah Fernandez, MD

Wasn't quite engaged during my office visits and missed things. For example: 1. One time did not show up to an appointment or even call to reschedule. 2. Did not recommend shingles vaccine even though I'm over 50. I only knew I needed one because my twin sister's doctor had told her about the shingles vaccine . 3. Did not tell me I needed 2 doses of the vaccine or even schedule the 2nd dose. I almost missed the window to get it. 4. Did not tell me my labwork showed my cholesterol level was dangerously high. I only found out when I finally started seeing a new primary care physician. My new dr gave me a new blood test, but also looked at the old test that Dr F had ordered a couple of years earlier. The old test cholesterol was in the dangerously high range!

She's friendly & nice & takes her time with you but she doesn't seem real confident in her decisions. I asked her about 2 different things I wanted her to do & she told me I needed a procedure done but her response to all 3 things we'd discussed was, we don't do that here. One being an antibiotic shot. Yet when I asked her where I should go to get these things done she didn't really know. Didn't make me feel as if I was in a professionals care.
