"It's all good" has become a colloquialism these days, but for this physician it couldn't be more true. The same is true for the entire staff. Because I have had great experiences at Swedish ever since I first came there for care, I went into the meeting with Dr Hernandez with a great deal of confidence and he did not disappoint. He covered everything in detail and I believe he is more than competent to handle my health concerns. I liked him a lot!
