We coordinate care between office visits and hospital stays, offering 24/7 guidance for feeding, growth monitoring, and maternal support.

Dr. Hernandez is probably the best Doctor we have seen. Even though we have seen many amazing Doctor's, but Dr. Hernandez is caring, compassionate and never in a rush to get my son out the door. I have a severely autistic son and he's not always the easiest to handle. We have seen most all doctor's at Evergreen and most have been helpful. Even the referral department has been so helpful to us! We are so thankful for the care Dr. Hernandez provides and would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Report
Scheduled both my kids to have their wellness checks. I provided information for both children and we had to schedule out far because the person making the appointment said it was hard to get back to back appointments. When I showed up the receptionist said they don't make back to back appointments for new patients and only one kid could be seen. I wish they would have told us before making the appointments and before I showed up.

I feel so grateful that we found Evergreen Pediatrics! Knowing who to trust with your little one's care can be very difficult, but luckily we were recommended to them by my OB. I absolutely love the way that they run things and the doctors are fantastic. I had my son in the evening and the next day a pediatrician from the office came down to evaluate him. The day after that, another pediatrician came.
I felt completely taken care of. My favorite physician is Dr. Voytas. He is absolutely amazing and I love the way he explains things. He is always so patient, knowledgeable, and you just feel good when you're around him. He gave us one of his books "Beyond the Checkup" and it has been super helpful! I cannot recommend him or this clinic enough. Every phone call and appointment we have felt taken care of and it's a great feeling, especially when you're a first time parent.
