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.

I wish I could undue that appointment
Inability to listen to me explaining my symptoms. i found the doctor to be extremely dismissive and indifferent. He said the cause was arthritis in my right knee even though I told him the pain started in my left knee, subscribed meds and told me to come back in two weeks. Upon my follow-up I told him the pain in my left knee was still there and he fussed that I told him it was the right side of my knee which was clearly not the case. I asked for an MRI and he told me no, that my hamstring was too tight and that I needed PT. He proceeds to walk out of the room and yells to a colleague about readying an injection for the next patient.

This doctor is one of the rudest I've ever come across. He is not kind and does not have a good temperament.

Experiencing trigger finger some associated pain. Called and got same day appt with dr a bend. Had consult, X-ray and was recommended 4 possible treatments. Least evasive was noninflamitory drug to reduce swelling and pain. Come back in a week if not better. Got fast staff paperwork done and whole appt was plesant. Office staff acted professionally. Dr Abend took explanation time after X-ray to explain my options favoring least evasive first. My wife has used him and numerous occasions as I.
