First visit. Friendly, down to earth, kind staff. Nice, clean office with a cool aquarium! From the recognitions on the wall, it seems all of the orthopedics at this location are considered the best of the best! I got the impression Dr. Mendez definitely cares about the patient's injury/needs and truly takes the best approach to ensure a full, successful recovery. He did a very thorough exam, was gentle and compassionate, and explained his findings and thoughts in terminology the average person understands! I recommend and look forward to my follow up

This is our first time at the office of Dr Mendez. The visitation was for my mother that has arthritis on both knees. The nurses are very nice and cordial. She was very anxious and afraid, they made her feel calm. Dr. Mendez bedside manner was great. He made my mom feel comfortable when she was getting her shots with no fear. The whole staff is great and professional. My mom was very happy.

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.

I had a total knee replacement 9/2022. Dr. Mendez and his associates are wonderful. From my initial appointment through the procedure & beyond, Dr, Mendez has been a caring & informative practitioner. I’m planning my 2nd replacement in the fall and would trust no other.

I can’t even begin to share my experience with this practice, staff and Dr. Mendez included! Phenomenal care from scheduling my appointment, to self pay, and Dr. Mendez’s care. He returned my call back in a very timely manner and saved me a very expensive, lengthy and unnecessary trip (of panic) to the ED. All good things about this practice. Very highly recommended.

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.
