He did a very thorough exam, was gentle and compassionate, and explained his findings and thoughts in terminology the average person understands!

Dr. Mendez is an awesome Doctor. I had herniated disc in 2020.I could not walk or sit. Dr. Mendez took care of me and referred me to another doctor in Broomall. He was another excellent doctor. He first requested I did physical therapy and if it doesn't work, he would consider injection. If it doesn't work, then maybe surgery. Physical therapy solved my problem. I recently had tennis player elbow, Dr. Mendez recommended therapy first and I'm back to normal. He is a great doctor, at least to me. I appreciate him.Patient Submitted Review

I met Dr. Mendez right before surgery. I was laying on the table, in a anesthesia haze with an epidural and anxiety meds by request. I must have been in the twilight zone.And there he was. My surgeon, my healer, Dr.Mendez. He actually came up to me and held my hand for a few moments and made a soul connection with me before they put the tent up and did the operation.I cannot tell you how much I appreciated his bedside manner. It made a world of difference in a scary situation.I followed his Doctor's Orders and in no time I was back on my feet. Less than 24 hours but I had to lay in bed with ice and my leg above my heart to prevent clots and infection.I arrived for my follow up and met him in the office. You should see his work. No problem. It healed all by itself and you cannot even tell I had surgery.Read more
