    Dr. Fernandez replaced my previous doctor of over 15 yrs. However, she was not my actual replacement doctor, as my replacement doctor did not show up at the last minute.

    I did not receive any compassion or the least bit concern with Dr. Fernandez.

I would highly recommend her. She even refused a referral to a doctor, whose status with Welmed was “pending”, to protect me from out-of-pocket expenses, in case his status was not solidified. That was awesome, even though it was frustrating at that moment. She was only protecting me!
