About
Dr. Hernandez was born and raised right here in Sunny San Diego, where his passion for dentistry began early in life. Since childhood, he held a dream of becoming a dentist. During high school, Dr. Hernandez was active in school theater and music productions and, for a short time, envisioned changing his course to pursue a career in acting. With loving encouragement from his parents, however, he remembered that his first love was, and always would be, dentistry.

Reviewed on May 10th, 2019 • Verified patientI had a very positive experience at Pacific Beach Smile Studio. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The doctor did an thorough exam and even did the teeth cleaning himself. Also I was impressed with the technology, I was actually able to see where some of my teeth were decaying which makes me feel comforted that I’m not getting fills/sealants just for money. So glad I found this place!This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[74358].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on July 26th, 2018 • Verified patientBy far the best dentist I have ever had. Dr. Hernandez is truly in a class by himself. From is great office staff to his office set up. You just automatically feel at ease and comfortable the moment you walk through the front door. In life you need a great medical doctor, accountant, mechanic and dentist. I rate Dr. Hernandez an absolute 10! Give him a shot, you won’t regret it.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[59510].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on July 19th, 2018 • Verified patientI had a great experience with Dr Hernandez. He was patient and thorough about what needed done. And he worked hard to save my tooth, which another dentist had not been optimistic about. A previous dentist also suggested a root canal where Dr Hernandez said it wasn't needed. So he saved me money! Thanks!This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[59195].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful
