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.

NJ, Valley Stream, NY
After a fight with covid-19 in the hospital then developing multiple long covid issues in 2021, I needed to see a pulmonologist due to continuing issues with shortness of breath amongst other things. Of course I was looking for the very best doctor to care for me & was a little skeptical when I was given an appointment with Dr. Bender as opposed to the doctor I had properly researched & chosen but I took a chance due to how terrible I was feeling & I’m so thankful to God I did, I have been seen by multiple doctors due to my many covid diagnosis & Dr. Bender has & still goes above & beyond to treat me! I’m so grateful I took a chance on him, he is truly one of the Best! May you always remain the same with regard to patient care & treatment!

In addition to be an excellent clinician, he is kind patient, and has a wonderful bedside manner. I saw him in an emergent situation at the hospital, and as a follow up and I couldn’t be more pleased. He truly wants what is best for his patients. I am happy to be in his care.
