Suggestions & Reviews for Kristin FERNANDEZ DO
Lorrie (Patient) 03-18-2009
I went to my normal gynecologist for treatment of really heavy menstral bleeding - I had suffered most of my adult life with bad cramping and bleeding and now that I was reaching my 40's, it was even worse. My doctor confirmed that I had really bad fibroid tumors and she immediately recommended a hysterectomy with no options and that scared me off, so I went to see Dr. Fernandez on a referral from another one of her patients.

Dr. Fernandez confirmed that I had bad fibroid tumors and she offered options - I tried the Yaz birth control pills to help with the bleeding, but they didn't help. I went through the endometrial eblasion procedure (which is supposed to cauterize your uterus and kill off the fibrioid tumors temporarily), but that also did not work for me.

Finally, I had the hysterectomy done for just my uterus and cervix (kept my tubes and ovaries) and Dr. Fernandez was so caring and helpful all the way through the process. I ended up having the surgery, but I needed to be helped through it emotionally by exhausting all options before I could go there.

Dr. Fernandez is not only a a capable and caring doctor, but she tailors her treatment to each patient, and you just don't find doctors like that anymore. I am a much happier and healthier person today (mentally and physically) because of her treatment and I would recommend her to anyone that I care about - in fact I already have!

Having Kristen Fernandez as my physician has been a wonderful experience. She immediately made me feel a part of every decision in my health care. Within three consecutive office visits, she provided me with a diagnosis and a surgery appointment. Dr. Fernandez spends quality time with each patient and truly makes you feel like you are her only patient. Her bedside manner is delightful and reassuring. The office staff, especially the physician's assistant, are always available to answer questions and return calls promptly. Spending time in her beautifully decorated office makes me feel pampered and valued as a patient of Dr. Kristin Fernandez.

Dr. Fernandez was recommended by a friend when I was looking for a third opinion about a hysterectomy (I had a grapefruit-sized calcified fibroid which was pushing against my tailbone). She was the first to suggest that the surgery could be performed laparascopically, which was what I was hoping for. She made tiny incisions that healed quickly and invisibly and the surgery produced virtually no pain during recovery. I was back to work in two weeks. She is very skilled, yet also very caring and concerned about her patients. She is the best and I am lucky to have her as my physician.
