Review for Dr. Fernandez
I have been seeing Dr. Harris for about 8-9 years now. I used to see him when he was still with Lee, and he is so good I followed him over to Millennium. Driving to Sanibel is a little far, but he's worth it. I see him for my Adhd and Anxiety. He is thorough yet laid back. He's very funny and easy...
