Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Family Medicine Doctor EVER!!!! – Mar 15, 2025

Unhelpful. Rude.
I waited around a month for an appointment for Dr. Bendana. After bringing cocerns to her, she brushed off everything presented and decided to pick flaws in my appearance telling me I was too pale. She never took anything I said seriously and made me cry in my car after the appointment. I am disgusted that she is allowed to serve service members and their families at Fort Moore.

Dr. Bendana was incredibly rude and unhelpful. It's awful that she allowed to serve service members and their families. She assumed so much to the point that I felt I was not even seen as an adult. She treats her patients as an annoyance who do not know anything. I don't know why anyone would recommend this human as a doctor.

I did not see Dr. Bendana at this location but , at midtown acute care. She was very demeaning , would cut me off when I was speaking , and finish my statements for me. I am a nursing senior nursing student and would say I have gained a lot of knowledge about my health. She spoke to me as if I knew nothing , accusing me of binge drinking , being promiscuous ( I don't drink and I'm married). It was an awful experience and I pray that when I finish school , I am nothing like her.
