Patient Reviews
Feb 01, 2024
Dr. Fernandez removed a cataract last year. I was very pleased with her professional ability and demeanor. She is caring, thorough, informative, friendly, and honest. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing eye care at MUSC. I was very comfortable with all aspects of the surgical procedure and the aftercare.
