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.

One of a kind doctor
I was greeted by a very upbeat receptionist and a caring nurse. I did not have a long waiting timeIn fact, I have never seen any doctor that I didn't have to wait. Dr. Bender read the radiology reports of my MRI's and discussed everything in great detail with me. I was in really bad shape. My last pain management doctor held my medicine hostage 2x. He was gentle, kind and caring. I knew I was in good hands. My ONLY regret is that I wish I had found him sooner.

U compassionate
Was uncompassasate, never talk to me but at his computer, always had to argue with you. Only went for a short period and stopped going. Would rather be in pain then deal with him.

I've had him for a pain doc about seven years now. I've never been rushed. He listens well and offers suggestion for tweaking treatment here and there as situations change. I've been to other pain docs and I was stuck in a recliner with chronic pain before I started going to him. I now kayak, canoe, fish and bicycle. Not a lot, but I'm no longer sitting in my recliner year after year.

I wouldn’t recommend Dr. Bender to anyone I cared about. He is a good Dr but is very cocky and arrogant. Very full of himself to the point he’ll get short with you. Doesn’t explain things very well or really doesn’t care about his patients. The 10 years I went to him he continually dated his staff and that interferes with his practice. He had a problem with my wife so he dismissed her and me because I was her husband. Good Dr. with a sorry attitude.

I have been going to Dr. Bender for a few months now and find him caring, competent, and the treatments have been extremely effective in reducing my pain. He takes the time to listen and is attentive to my concerns. He is helping me to find alternative solutions to manage my pain other than prescription medication. His staff is very friendly and attentive to my needs.

Can't say enough great words about Dr. Bender and his staff! After so so many years of tremendous pain, Dr. Bender started treating me. Long discussions about how he would treat me. Slowly and surely, he really helped me regain my life, as pain started to diminish with treatments! Word of mouth is the best advertisement, and i truly recommend Dr. Bender.

I would recommend Dr. Bender for your care in pain management in my previous comment I mentioned how I reluctantly agreed to give Dr. Bender a chance to treat me with shots. The first step went well I go back in 2 weeks for the second part of my treatment. So far with his compassionate and reassuring me I will trust him fully for my pain management. With him experiencing back pain himself he's on point with a real approach to real pain care. I highly recommend him for your care I trust him.

I would not recommend Dr Bender to anyone, I have called his office the past 2 days and still am unable to leave a message or talk to someone. All voice mails are full, which tells me he has either very incompetent people working there or he has to many patients. My mother is a patient of his, she recently overdosed from narcotics that were prescribed by him, he is still prescribing her pain pills. I don't know how any doctor can prescribe an opioid after someone has misused their prescription.

I have been seeing Dr.Bender for a little over 10+ years, he is the most down to earth, and professional gentlemen, always courteous and polite when he is seeing you as a patient. I never have a complaint or problem with him, and his staff I totally adore, they are also awesome! I have known Katie for over 11+ years and she is the doctor awesome assistant!! I have it really easy scheduling or canceling, and they are not mean or biased, they are concerned, and courteous all the time. Kim Lach

A amazing dr!! I wasted a year with another dr who ignored my concerns but after seeing dr bender within a week he relieved some of my pain. He takes the time to sit down with you and talk to you like a human being addressing all & any concerns you may have. THANK GOD I found him.. Before going to him I laid in bed depressed & worthless now I have hope and can enjoy some of the life I've been missing for far too long.. Hands down he's the BEST!

Dr. Bender is the BEST. I wish he was a PCP. Super Dr. with plan for getting my back better. I moved out of NPR 5 years ago & I have never been able to find anyone that could meet his standards. The Greatest in his field too. I went to others, that didn't help me at all.

I have been going to Dr. Bender for about 3 years. Never once has he offered pain medicine. My back condition has been diagnosed as a deformity and his treatments have made me able to go about my daily life without constant pain. His demeanor and attention to my concerns are without doubt part of my recovery. I would recommend him to anyone with a medical condition he could treat.
