4.7/5 (Based on 87 Ratings)

I grew up in the Twin Cities and moved out to the East Coast for my advanced training. While in Washington DC, I earned my MD as well as a PhD in neuroscience from Georgetown University Medical Center. After graduation, I chose to move back to Minnesota to spend more time with family. I enjoy reading, kayaking/canoeing, fishing, board games, and spending time with my wife and three children.

    I can't give Dr. Hernadez enough praise. I love his approach as a sleep doctor, very through, but also has a great sense of humor. Does not rush through the appointment, and makes sure that I leave the visit with an understanding of what is happening with my treatment plan, and that I am the one who makes the decision on the treatment plan that has been offered.

    Dr. Hernandez is awesome in that he reads notes, history and can easily figure out where I fit. Dr. Is super intelligent enough to explain in layman's terms what [...] is going on with my issue. I overthink, he understands and can weed out the necessary from the unnecessary
