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. Mendoza seems to have very little if any expertise with osteoporosis. She asked my endodontist to recommend course of treatment for me. His response was that he was not comfortable doing that and had never been asked to do so in his 40 years of practice,

Misdiagnosed me. I was in active heart failure and did not know it. I could barely breath at my last appt with her. She said " if I send you to the ER they'll just send you home. She almost killed me.

I had one appointment with Dr. Mendoza. In order to make the appt you have to have a referral and labs sent. I was called no less than 3 times to schedule an appt and had to ask if they had received the info needed. Wendy had to be reminded to check this every time she called me and did not confirm prior to calling me. I deem Dr. Mendoza to be an over expressive and highly suspicious physician who spent more time questioning my intentions than trying to treat me. Will never go back.
