    "I just wanted to add with the numbers that I pressed for, the information for my visit with Dr. Hernandez, I just wanted to say I thought Dr. Hernandez was really great. She examined me one other time in 2024, I think, and I thought she was very good, and I really liked her. And she was pleasant. She was knowledgeable, educated, and I just really like her. And I'd recommend Dr. Hernandez, Dr. Maria Hernandez, to anybody. And so I really am pleased with her and the care that she's given me, just even for two visits. I thought she was really great. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. Thanks very much."
