Dr. Hernandez is a Watsonville native who graduated from CSU Monterey Bay with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology before pursuing his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in San Marcos, CA.

He worked for Balance Physical Therapy as an aide from 2017 to 2019 prior to going to PT school. He chose to return because he enjoyed the atmosphere and dedication of the staff to their patients. He also valued the vision they all shared to make the community a better place and wanted to continue to thrive in a well-balanced establishment.

He enjoyed playing football in high school which made him consider a career where he can be active. After shadowing at a few locations, he knew he wanted to become a Physical Therapist when he saw how he can actively help his community in such a positive manner.

In his spare time, he enjoys family time with his wife and daughter. They attempt to go somewhere new every month so any suggestions for him are always welcome. He enjoys watching sports and you can probably find him running through the streets of Watsonville with his husky, Echo.
