What Our Patients Say
Barbara G., Lacey Springs, AL
My recovery time was fast, no bleeding, and I was pain-free within a short time.
I have no scarring or big incisions to worry about. Fast recovery. I highly recommend this procedure. Dr. Fernandez and his office staff are kind, good listeners, and truly care about their patients. He will always be my first choice to perform all surgical procedures on me or my loved ones.
Mike G., Madison, AL
I recovered very quickly and was back to my daily routine almost immediately.
I only took two pain pills. Compared to my other surgeries, this was a piece of case. I strongly recommend Dr. Fernandez and the robotic approach.
Elisabeth S., Florence, AL
I am stunned by how well things have gone since my surgical procedure.
I only had to take pain medicine for four days and only spent two nights in the hospital. It was a great experience overall.
