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.

First time patient who was pleased with Dr. Mendoz
The staff was very friendly and efficient from check-in to X-Ray and finally the Surgical Scheduler, Bre McGeown. The latter was a breath of fresh air and made us feel like we knew her for years. Her smile was radiant, and her attitude was totally upbeat. Her efficiency was really excellent.Dr. Mendoza and his assistant Yara greeted us within 10-minutes of being placed in the examination room. Dr. Mendoza listened carefully to my description of symptoms which led me to see him. He reviewed my cervical, thoracic and lumbar MRI's and their respective reports in order to properly diagnose my condition. Considering that I had exhausted my Acupuncture and Physical Therapy sessions with no extreme changes, he recommended an epidural in the L5 area of my spine and said that the injection would spread to the L4 as well. He encouraged me to continue at home physical therapy exercises. Walking was also a good idea especially if pain arose in my sciatic region. I expect positive results.

Proficient & compassionate
I was examined today by Dr. Mendoza, and I am very impressed with his thoroughness and painstaking care to clearly explain the condition for which I sought treatment and all of my treatment options. I would not hesitate to recommend any friend or family member needing care to him.

I decided not to take the narcotics I requested for lupus pain every day in order to avoid addiction, and not within a couple of days of my monthly appointments to avoid masking potential injuries, and he accused me of selling my drugs because my urine tests were clean. I sent him hair follicle drug test results proving that I was not misusing or selling my meds, and he communicated his unsubstantiated opinions to my rheumatologist, my lupus treatment provider, in another state! Horrible person.

This place is horrible; they were very nice before they got my insurance information and all necessary requirements to get paid. I will never go back and will advise everybody NOT to go this place. The derogatory tone from any medical personal is NOT acceptable – does not matter what medical problem you have. I think patients are accepted based on their conditions - how much money they make out of it Dr. Mendoza did not even bother to come to the room- he sent his PA and the PA made a decisio

I wouldn't know how the good the doctor is because when I really needed to speak to him for help...after receiving a month long appointment...I was met with utter disrespect and unprofessional from his staff/secretaries. I will be going to someone else who doesn't have their secretaries run their practice.
