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.

He was and very informed in finding a diagnosis!
He was very compassionate. Heknew what tests to do to find out what was wrong with me and find the answer, after I was told different by another neurologist I had seen previously! I so appreciated his diagnostic skills! He gave me some hope even though Parkinson’s diagnosis and gave me a treatment plan.

Dr Mendez
Excellent visit. Thorough review of signs and symptoms, and testing information. Dr Mendez took his time to listen, discuss options, and was compassionate. I had to wait a couple of months for the appointment, but it was worth the wait. I didn’t have to wait long in the office though. Office efficiently run.

Zero
Very abbreviated. He ordered a brain MRI and an aortic ultrasound. I called to get results and he had ordered the nurse to tell me to get the results online and take them to another provider and he would see me in 6 months. I searched online for 2+ days to understand that I have a life threatening disease. He would not speak to me about the diagnosis. I do not recommend that anyone take a chance on an experience like this.

Excellent Resource
Dr. Mendez created an immediate sense of trust and confidence in him. He began by verbalizing a concise overview of my prior medical history leading to the actual exam. He focused, listened, explained the plan and answered my questions without creating a sense of rushing.
