The individual women’s health involves many issues that are unique to the population and involve unique care. His practice philosophy is to treat everyone like family and build trust which is the strongest bond between a patient and a doctor. The best advice he ever received was that the patient could be your mother, wife, or sister, so treat them as though they are.

When it comes to delivering babies, Dr. Hernandez says the best part is the smiles he sees on the faces of the baby, mom, dad, and grandparents. He feels blessed that he gets to bring joy to the family and hope into the world.
