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.

Great practice - Dr. Mendez and his team are tops
I've been seeing Dr. Mendez for 2 years. It is nice to go to a doctors appointment and the actually know who you are and how your condition is progressing. He has changed my life in a very positive way and is helping me prolong my kidney function.

I'm lucky to have stumbled upon Dr.Mendez.
Dr Mendez is an 'out of network (OND) ' doctor. Not knowing that originally, I had much apprehension when HE told me that. Yes, HE answered the phone and explained the ramifications of working with a OND. I quickly learned you don't go through a phalanx of: push this button and stay on hold for 20 minutes; a phone answerer more interested in your insurance than what your problem is; or an AI bot that starts the impersonal relationship from the first call. I was also concerned about reimbursement claims to MEDICARE. There is a small out-of-pocket-charge, but the process is seamless. Avoiding the onerous conditions and limitations of a monolith Med Group is well worth the small personal expense. Dr. Mendez is my most favored doctor. We've met five times . He is honest, consoling, and thorough. HE CALLS ME when he senses I need support. I trust his decisions with my life. His staff of only one 'boy wunder' keeps his charges to a minimum.I recommend Dr Mendez without reservation.
