I've been seeing Nicholas Hernandez for years, and think very highly of him,(when I had my colonoscopy scheduled with Dr. Lee a few years ago, I was very apprehensive, but when they rolled my gurney in to the O.R. For the procedure, I was very, very, happy to see my doctor, Dr. Hernandez there, welcoming me, I was so relieved, I "almost" can't put it into words.. ..I'll try,; ...Trust me, it meant 'everything' to me to see him there before I went under. It was very comforting, & completely unexpected, and made me feel "very safe"

Providence Patient
I wish I would have met with Dr. Hernandez, my primary doctor, sooner. I enrolled in Providence in January of the year and finally, I met him. I went through an array of other referrals to doctors in the SJO systems. I believe there was no mention of them in MyChart or services performed by them. I am a little confused with this system. Overall the Doctors have provided excellent care to me, beyond my expectations.

I like overall the services the treatment im very satisfied with the overall service
