Dr. Mendes was very good, she asked lots of questions, listened to my answers and answered questions that I had. Very pleasant and down to earth, I didn't feel rushed like other appointments I have had. The after appointment follow ups on the portal were also great. Glad I chose her to be my doctor.

Dr. Mendes is truly top tier. I am hoping to switch my husband from another doctor to her care, which I feel is much more thorough and hands-on. She answered all of my concerns, gave me a name for a referral for another matter and had complete follow though.

Dr Mendes is just terrific. I'm so glad to have found her. She goes above and beyond, asking questions then probing answers and offering good suggestions. Plus - bonus - she's on time! My heart's in good hands.
