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!
