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.

All my kids have been well cared for by her!
All 3 of my boys have been her patients as long as we've been in this area (12 yrs). The staff know our family, we have some special needs that are mostly met at Riley Children's hospital, but she being their primary care physician has been very helpful in all their care. I appreciate that she is straight forward, caring and knowledgeable.

I couldn’t recommend a better pediatrician
After switching pediatricians multiple times Dr Bender was recommended to me 13 years ago and I am so thankful she was. She is through, smart, honest, and my kids like her! I am now the one who is always recommending her to parents!

My son had horrible problems sleeping delt with sore throat all the time but she refused to consult him to RNT until he had multiple positive step occurances. Finally I took him to Scott curry and he immediately booked for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. Myhe said my son had the biggest adenoids he'd ever seen. And has been healthy ever since.

The office staff has been exceedingly rude to my daughter. They shamed her for being a working mother. The nurse has refused to pass repeated requests for the doctor to return her calls. Due to this situation my grandson will have to have a surgery which could have been prevented. My daughter is trying to get care elsewhere but due to the pandemic she can't get an appointment in time.

She was very thorough and asked a lot of questions to completely understand the issues at hand. Dr. Bender was very personable and handle my baby very well. I really enjoyed our visit.
