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. Wendt was excellent in every respect! She examined me and sent me for key tests which turned out negative for a DVT and other possible causes of my chest pain. Later, my brother in law caught her in the hallway of the ER, and she smiled and came right into my room. She commented that she could easily see my pain, and came up with a number of ideas. She said she would contact both my neurologist and PCP. My experience with Dr. Wendt could not have gone any better. I recommend her unequivocally!

Would give her zero if I could. Went to Sarasota Memorial and met with Dr. Wendt. ER visit charged $3173 and dr visit of $720 and $34 for some kind of xray. Sent my husband home with 2 days of steroid and told him he has a inflamed disk. My husband has severe spinal stenosis with a cyst on his L3-4. This hospital and their doctors aren't fit to look at my animals.

Unsatisfied in Arcadia, FL – Feb 02, 2019

Entered the emergency room at 10pm. Met Dr. Wendt. She seemed polite and experienced. Scheduled many tests which I completed with no problems from 10am to 2pm. Dr. Wendt told me she knew my doctor and would contact her that night while I waited for my test results. She did not contact my doctor and would not come into my room to discharge me....went by 3 times and spoke with me as I blocked her coming down the hallway....my nurse kept saying I was good to go. I left with no discharge at 4pm!
