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.

Dr. Bendt is a caring doctor who puts you at ease and explains everything very clearly.

Dr Bendt was my original doctor but I switched OBs when I was 15 weeks pregnant because I wasn't comfortable. He wound up being the on call doctor the weekend I delivered. He told me that in his 20 years of practicing medicine he'd never had a woman give birth on her side and to put my feet in the stirrups or he'd go back outside. Long story short, if your goal is a natural child birth, this is not the doctor for you.

Dr. Bendt is a very nice man but does not spend enough time with patients. Majority of time at your appointments is waiting on him to come back from a delivery! Its very frustrating because he has other patients waiting on him to deliver EVERY SINGLE patient he has. The wait isn't what to bad its when he gets back he is in a rush because it puts him behind.. This is where his other patients who had an appointment get the short end of the stick. He comes in rushes you, no time for questions etc.
