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.

I thought he was a great doctor at first. I stuck with him when he left the South Plainfield office in NJ. When I was going through a really rough time in my life. I always nknew I could count on Dr Mendez. I guess nothing seems to shock me anymore. Only when true and loyal people reveal themselves. Dr Mendez manipulated me. Made feel like a fool. Watch out for Dr Mendez. He is fraud!!! Doctors are full of too. It seems they can do and treat you any way necessary. Only to gain his success. Well you're not a success Doctor. A successful person is about how you treat people not about money. They wrote me off and treated me like garbage. His secretary was even rude and talked down to me. At the end of the day. No one really cares. When doctors of all people should do no harm. I was so traumatized by the treatment of Dr Mendez and his staff. I haven't truly trusted any doctors since

Literally one of the worst experiences with a doctor I have encountered. His office was extremely disorganized, and it was a nightmare scheduling my follow-up appointments. In addition, his bedside manner was terrible, and his ability to explain my problem and actually help me was a huge concern. I would AVOID at all costs.

First saw him at Denville Pain Management on 5.11.17.
I had severe Sciatica pain. He diagnosed that L5 disc could be protruding and epidural injection should help.
MRI done on 5/17/17 and the epidural injection was scheduled for 5/30/17 at 8.30 am in West Morris Surgery in Roxbury NJ.
Rather than helping my pain, it has become worst.
On 6/1/17 morning I left detailed message with office & requested him to call back.
He did not call, I sent email on 6/2/17 at 2.40 pm.
He still has not called.

I sing Dr. Mendez's praises! I had been a patient at another PM doctor in Central NJ since Feb 2009 & unhappy. I had major surgery with a top neurosurgeon & asked him to refer me to a new doctor & he said Dr. Mendez. Within the last few months, Dr. M has done more for me than my other doctor had done in years. He's done procedures on me that have helped so much! If you want your quality of life back, call him today. Not only is he kind & caring, he is brilliant & performs the newest techniques.
