    Dr. explained in detail all that was found bad and good! I am good and he told me to call in if needed.

  • Jul 23, 2025

    I was very happy with my visit with Dr Fernandes. He's excellent! Very personable, informative, caring and a very good listener. That's key to me. He's replacing a doctor I've had for nearly 20 years who retired, much to my dismay. He was at the top of his field. I liked him very much, we had a great rapport. I think I found the perfect doctor to follow Dr Siddique's footsteps. I'm delighted.
