Rafael J. Fernandez's Online Review Report Card

Not friendly, sold to works comp,in and out in 5 min.only reads computer notes and do not ask question to patient specialky if it is from works comp looks that way to me.I will not reccomend him at all.he is a money maker only not a real doctor

Mi opinión será después de mi cita con otro médico ortopedista.

Friendly office staff. Great bedside manners. Communication with staff, doctor and myself was clear and easy. Clean, updated looking office.

magnífico doctor trato exquisito y muy profesional

Was sent to Dr. F for an IME of my left knee ...He was extremely rough with my body. Forced my fingers back as far as they would go...tried to make my thumb touch my arm.... kept grabbing my ankles and pushing up and down as hard as possible...to remind you... I was there for my left knee..... and he kept touching my right arm that has been dislocated for over a year now & I also have a nerve condition that makes it painful when someone touches it...he just wouldn’t stop touching my arm causing me pain...since then I’ve been flared up... in terrible pain. I Haven’t seen his report but I’m well aware of the significant about of money Travelers paid him to say my industrial accident has nothing to with what is wrong with my knee.... all while my treating WC physician says I need left knee reconstruction & it is from my work injury...I received a denial letter from travelers for surgery today......... because your part of the corrupt system.... your the dr who is too lazy to run a normal doctors office — or can’t because your not capable to have good bedside manner or cant perform surgeries without complications ....you just want easy money to write reports in favor of the insurance companies and know you will always have easy cash flow ....because they will Continue to use you for IME’s..... Your Office was 67 miles from my home in Palm Beach...... apparently you were the only doctor they could find to say what they wanted in the IME report to deny my surgery. Sad..... Your a real piece of work!!! Not sure what’s worse that you are a corrupt doctor working for the WC insurance companies or that your a Terrible orthopedic that couldn’t make money doing surgeries or treating the injured....that you had to stoop so low that your not “really” a doctor.... writing an opinion is not the same as Doctor; a person with a medical degree whose job is to treat people who are ill or injured. You do not treat ill or injured—you write opinions and don’t help anyone..... you actually are making people like me who are injured suffer longer as they have to fight the insurance company in court....the total opposite of what a “real” doctor does...you don’t even have a license to write a controlled substance... If your sent for an IME just know.... How corrupt Dr. F is and that your about to fight the insurance companies for treatment......good luck!!!!

Me opere con otro doctor por mi dolores cambie para una segunda opinion y no saven porque mi dolor en la rodilla

Para nada recomendaría al doctor Fernández , Llegue a él con un dolor muy fuerte en mi hombro derecho, fui sometida a tratamientos y diversas pruebas recomendadas por el , empecé a presentar inflamación continua sin tener resultado satisfactorio con dichos tratamientos, me llegó a manifestar q no podía hacer nada más por mi y q desconocía el por que de mis sintomas, me vi en la obligación de una segunda opinión con otro especialista donde fui sometida a una intervención quirúrgica por un rompimiento parcial del tendón del manguito rotador...en mi opinión fue bien desagradable y dolorosa mi experiencia...👎

Conservative & Caring - Highly recommend Dr. Fernandez took great care of my fractured (fifth) metatarsal. While other local orthopedics were quick to suggest surgery and hardware for a lifetime to mend the broken bone, Dr. F was true to his conservative approach and advised on Physical therapy, supportive supplements and light exercise and what to avoid. As I continue on my healing journey, my progress remains healthy and steady. All in all, the team at Gables Orthopaedics is an exceptional bunch that have mastered the art of patient care and professionalism. Thanks to Carmen, Dr. Fernandez and the rest of the team for an excellent experience.

this is the only doctor that knew what I was having pain in my hip. He injected me and it did not hurt that much. I was scared for no reason. Lady in front very nice and told me that he gives shots very good. She right

very good doctor. explained my condition to me. nobody has ever explained to me my condition. i understand now
