Family Ties That Bind

Family Doctor: Ashan Fernando

Last year I wrote of Dr. Fernando’s amazing care, professionalism, wisdom, kindness, and dedication to service that he showed my father, Jules, in his sudden terminal diagnosis. Since my father’s passing, Dr. Fernando’s care has never wavered. As a patient of his too, my mom regularly relies on him for routine advice and care. She always reports to me what a positive experience he and his staff provide on every encounter, no matter how brief, whether virtual or in-person. I believe strongly that speaks to his professionalism, passion, and positive perspective he brings to work daily and the healthy work culture he and his team cultivate. Despite the many challenges faced in today’s health system, Dr. Fernando and his team seem to navigate them effortlessly and with a patient-focused lens. Congratulations to him and his wonderful care team for the excellent service they provide those lucky enough to call him their “Family Doc that Rocks”!!!
