Edgar Hernandez, MD, MS, FACS

"Dr. Hernandez is both professional and very caring at the same time. Puts you at ease and explains thoroughly any procedure necessary. Highly recommend him!"

"I would give Dr. Hernandez 10 stars if I could. He is kind, competent, and very experienced. I received a recommendation to see him, and going to see him was the best decision I have made. He was very straight forward, recommending a bilateral mastectomy vs. lumpectomy. If I don't want to look over my shoulder constantly, that's what I should do. So I did, and thank goodness because I already had a precancerous growth that became apparent with the pathology report after the surgery. This is what you get when you have an experienced surgeon who knows what he is doing. He is amazing and kind during our visit, pre-op, post-op, and follow up visit. He is a world-class surgeon who does breast surgeries all day long and every day, so much energy. He works together with another world-class plastic surgeon and between the both of them, I got my life back. I will pass this forward to anyone who wants to listen and is in a situation like me. Bottomline: Dr. Hernandez is surgeon #1"

"Dr. Hernandez didn't treat me very well after I followed my oncologists advice to have a double mastectomy rather than the mammosite radiation that he (Dr. Hernandez) recommended. He scheduled me to come in 3 days after my surgery to receive my pathology report (after driving 50 miles) only to arrive at a full waiting room with standing room only. The wait was 3-5 hours. When I asked the receptionist if I could access the back door and wait on the couch, I was denied. I said I couldn't wait and told her to have him call me. He called me about 7pm that evening and berated me for not waiting to see him. When I pointed out that I was in pain and needed to rest and recover from my surgery and the waiting room was too crowded and there was nowhere to sit, he screamed and yelled at me. He was unsympathetic, uncaring, and a total jerk. He clearly doesn't care about his patients as much as he expects his patients to idolize him. From the minute I decided to have surgery rather than have another failed mammosite radiology treatment, I felt abused and abandoned. It was a horrible experience and I cannot recommend him."

"Dr. Hernandez is an incredible doctor. Very empathetic and does his job extremely well. I had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer and his office got me in right away. He was very thorough, supported me with my decisions and listened to my concerns. He made himself available for any questions or concerns and eased our worries. So thankful and blessed to found him. Surgery went well. Had a Goldilocks procedure that is skin and nipple sparing. Dr. Rimma Finkle did the reconstruction. They were an amazing team!"

"Do yourself a favor and if you are ever in need of a breast surgeon, go to Dr. Hernandez. I was referred to him for an urgent matter, and he saw me the next day, first thing in the morning. I have never waited more than 10 minutes (from entering his office) to see him. Through in office procedures, he helped me avoid surgery. He is kind, understanding, knowledgeable, caring, and respectful. I can’t say enough nice things, the man is just an amazing doctor. His office staff is also all extremely kind, from the first person you meet, to the last person you talk to before you leave, this office is 100% the best."
