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.

Totally unprofessional experience
This woman is rude, inconsiderate and lacks compassion. Office smells, staff incompetent and doctor told us to research a product she was too busy to have knowledge of. Spends all her time telling us how “transparent “ she is which translates to “lazy and uninformed “. When I asked for explanation of a procedure she spoke to me like I was a kindergartner; when I asked for further information she suggested I find another doctor. Great advice

I have been going to Dr. Mendoza for over 11 years and she as an amazing person and Doctor I would definitely recommend her to anyone. I do miss the old receptionist they were so nice and polite but so far had no problem with the new girls their, always treat you with politeness.

Terrible and awful place! I called to make an appointment to remove my nexplanon and place an IUD. I was told over the phone that it would have to be two different appointments. Went in and paid $15 copay for them to tell me that they do not remove the nexplanon at their office and that I would have to go to planned parenthood to remove it!!! That is absurd!!! And they would not return my copay because I had a "consult". This place is the worst!!!!!!!!!

Terrible experience. She misdiagnosed our daughter as having a congenital defect and referred us to a high-risk Ob, which was very costly and totally unnecessary. Moreover, she didn't even discussed the diagnosis with us but rather left a voice message and then didn't returned phone calls. She ended up charging us an arm and a leg for her misdiagnosis and refused to waive or even discount the charges. Very impersonal and bad physician--be careful!
