As the years went by the relationship that developed was phenomenal. I found I could ask him anything medically. He also helped me considerably as I retired from the profession. Naturally, I was sadden to hear he also was going to retire! He put me at ease as I faced cardiac issues. Happy Retirement Dr. Teltzer. Wishing you the best and thank you for your knowledge, resources,support, and compassion.
Dr. Fernandez is one of a kind. She has been a partner in my health care for years. She listens, cajoles, supports, and sometimes uses tough love when she cares about my health more than I do. She never talks at me, but we haveShow more conversations about my health where my opinion matters. I trust her with my life.

First time at the Davie location- Julie was the nurse I saw who was fantastic-personable & professional. Waited a short time to see Dr Zelch, also, great, diagnosed my problem and sent me on my way. Unfortunately, that was Dr Zelch’s last day at that facility :(

I always have a good experience with Dr Fernandez.
I requested an inhaler (albuterol) and got instead a medication similar to advair but more expensive.
Dr. Fernandez is one of a kind. She has been a partner in my health care for years. She listens, cajoles, supports, and sometimes uses tough love when she cares about my health more than I do. She never talks at me, but we have conversations about my health where my opinion matters. I trust her with my life.

This was my third visit with Dr. Escobar. He is friendly, warm, knowledgeable, helpful and professional. He explained the results of my Eco-Cardiogram. He made sure that I understood fully the results of my test. I actually look forward to my visits with Dr. Escobar. I recommend him highly if you are looking for a caring, warm, knowledgeable, professional and very competent Cardiologist.
I recently had an appointment with Dr. Escobar at Associates MD in Plantation Florida and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Dr Esconar is very professional, friendly, and took the time to thoroughly explain my medical concerns in a way that was easy to understand. His approachable manner made me feel comfortable throughout the consultation. I highly recommend Dr. Escobar to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring cardiologist!
