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. Mendeloff saved my baby 14 years ago. He was very experienced, caring, and informative. I am very thankful for what he did for my baby boy that is almost 15 year old and has never had any complications.

Saved my son
I don't remember much, been 11 years...almost 12...but still amazed at how this dr saved my kid! My son is doing great, you'd never know he had heart surgery at a week old. Thank you sir, don't know what I'd do without my son.

Dr Mendeloff and his staff was very professional as well as caring and kind. Dr M explained my sons procedure (Modified Ravitch) in layman’s terms. His entire support team was available throughout my son’s 5day stay in the hospital. Dr M is a kind gentle and humble man. We are thrilled with the results and will definitely recommend Dr Mendeloff. Thank you all.

My 1 year old son, recently had open heart surgery with Dr. Mendeloff. From the time of scheduling his surgery up until the time of the actual procedure, the entire staff at MCD Children's Hospital, made this a very smooth and reassuring feeling. One my husband and I actually met and sat down to discuss our son's surgery, he definitely put us at ease with how thorough he was explaining what was going on with his heart and how he was going to fix it. I give this man 10 thumbs. Highly recommended
