She is not only a brilliant doctor, but also a mother who genuinely loves the precious children under her care. Dr Fernandez has also been that protective angel providing impeccable care to my two boys from birth to adulthood showering them with love and affection. What I like about Dr Fernandez is her ethics, professionalism and unparalleled honesty. She is the personification of altruism itself. Her medical expertise is top notch and saving lives is her philosophy. She, Furthermore, emanates genuine warmth and affection that gained her the admiration of everyone. On your first visit, you are already part of her family. My oldest son, who is 21 and is in college right now, dreams to follow in her footstep by becoming a doctor. I just hope that he acquires her unique sense of responsibility, her noble generosity and her selfless dedication."

"I’m not one to write reviews but Dr. Fernandez-Ortiz is a diamond in the rough. My baby has major health issues- eczema, allergies and auto immune diseases. She takes his conditions seriously and even called in a favor to get us in to see a specialist. She is knowledgeable and listens to your concerns. After 8 pediatricians, we finally found the one!"

"We used to live 10 minutes away from Dr. Fernandez’s doctor’s office. We moved to Broward County in October 2020, but we cannot give up our doctor! She is literally the best pediatrician I have ever been to. I’m extremely picky, especially when it comes to my children. I love the way that she is so thorough and so gentle with my girls. I love the expertise that she has. The entire office is professional, clean, and just kind. My husband agrees with me that we have a keeper, and he is willing to take the long drive to Miami Shores for our kids to have the best care."

"Dr. Fernandez is the absolute best. I feel super grateful to have found her and Shores Pediatrics. She has treated my three children since they were babies and it’s so great to know they have a doctor who will be with them for the long haul whom I trust and respect."

"Dr. Fernandez Ortiz has been my kids doctor since they were babies. They are now 21 and 17. It’s been an incredible experience having such a long relationship with her and her knowing my kids needs and taking such good care of them. It’s really nice having a doctor that really cares and takes the time when you’re with her to ask the right questions and figure out what they need to get better. We trust her judgment completely because we feel like she treats us like family!"
