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.

No Time For You
This Doctor does not listen and refused to answer questions. Will never return here. Staff is poorly trained and did not even receive copy of my prescription. Never again.

So Compassionate
Dr. Mende truly cares about her patients! She takes her time to understand what you’re going through and explains everything to you until you fully understand it. She then formulates a plan and involves other doctors who might be more versed in your particular problem. She’s truly is a gifted, patient and compassionate person. Her bedside manner is exemplary!

Dr. Mendes was extremely informative. She explained my issues with clarity so that I could understand them. She was considerate and very compassionate. We recently moved from Florida and left an amazing doctor. I am so glad we were able to find an amazing doctor here!!

Dr. Mendel has been our family eye Dr. for many years now. She treated my 95 yr old grandma Hazel Sapps all the way down to my 3 children when they had there first eye exams. We all just love her to death. She's such a caring, warm hearted lady. I guarantee u will always get the best service and help with any eye problems u maybe having.

I absolutely love this office and practice. The doctors are caring and extremely thorough. I never worry about eye issues as I know I can reach this office 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Grant it they are only open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm but they have an answering service that is tremendously helpful in emergencies. I highly recommend Dr. Mende's office to anyone in need of any eye care whether it be routine or medical. Myself, my children and my family will continue our eye care needs there.

Dr. Mende is caring, thorough, very efficient, and a very warm person. She has been my optometrist for the past 8 years. I would highly recommend her services. She has seen me through glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataract surgery aftercare and is continuing to monitor my eye health.
