I’m quite impressed with Dr Francisco Schwartz Fernandez’s talent as a hand specialist. He has a warm demeanor, great bedside manner and a gentle personality. He treats patients like they are family. He exudes confidence which lessens patient’s fears and apprehensions . I recently had carpal tunnel surgery. I received exemplary care. The administration staff are professional, efficient and kind. I adore the woman at the front desk. She makes patients feel like she has known you for a long time. Ms Nicole Safiano is a definite asset to the medical group. She is attentive, reassuring and compassionate to her patients. She is a master in her trade. Kudos for a job well done

I was referred to see Dr. Schwartz-Fernandes for a growth in my hand. He performed surgery but neglected to perform a biopsy first. The growth turned out to be cancer and he did not properly removed the growth, so the growth returned and spread through my body. He needs to attend a residency in the US and an accredited fellowship.; his fellowship is NON-ACGME. I guess Florida doesn't care to check applicants' credentials. His medical school trains mostly nurses and medical techs. (third world)

Dr. Schwartz-fernandes lacks basic medical protocols usually acquired at US residency programs. Dr. Schwartz Fernandes has never attended a US residency. He is also NOT Board Certified in Hand Surgery or Orthopedic Surgery. Please seek the advise of surgeons who are board certified by the American Board ofMedical Specialties. Otherwise, you'll be getting second class healthcare.

Dr Schwartz-Fernandes, saw me as a second opinion because I broke my wrist and my other doctor wasn't very confident he would be able to treat it. His staff was able to schedule my appointment for the following day, and 3 days later I had my surgery. In 2 weeks he removed my cast. He has my recommendation.
