See what our patients are saying about Howard Hernandez

very very very nice and easy to talk to. I had some anxiety about talking to a male and my problems especially how some of them are female related, but honestly, it was so nice and I genuinely enjoyed talking with him. Very good experience it wasn’t overwhelming, but also the talks were very nice and made me think. I give Howard a 10 out of 10
