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.

Dr. Mendez is an excellent, supportive doctor, The major issue I have is with his office staff and the no return of phone calls. I don't think they really care about his patients. No courtesy call to let you know they are working on your request even after leaving multiple messages for days. No matter how good the doctor is, it is his staff is who represents him.

Only been with Dr. Mendez for a few month. He did my Nova Ablation surgeu and Thank God it went well. Very good Dr. the only thing I don’t like is having to wait so long to see the Dr., but that’s in every Drs office you go to. Aside from that ???? Excellent Dr. and the staffs are attentive.

I had a miscarriage in April 2017, went to dr Mendez office, who was my doctor for years. They did an ultrasound and they said I still had some baby residuos inside me. They made me wait again 2 more weeks for an other consultation with dr Mendez ( and I waited 3 weeks also to have the first appointment). Two days before the second appointment I had a very heavy bleading and I had to go thru ER and had a surgery because my doctor didn't see me on time

It’s all been said in the other five star reviews. Dr. Mendez and his staff are all I could have hoped for my surgery.. He was excellent during pre and post surgery, answered all my questions provided the absolute best care, and I believe, best advice and treatment during every visit and for every issue.
If you are looking for a doctor whose medical knowledge is encyclopedic and takes the time to be caring even while maintaining a very busy practice look no further, God Bless him!
