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 Hendler was great in my treatment. I was disabled for 10 years and he got me back to work for another 10 years. Unfortunately I am back on disability but nothing of his doings.

what a quack spent 4 months in the hospital for 2 broken legs broken back crushed foot and broken elbow, and this jackoff thinks 8 weeks of therapy is enough. i cant stand for more than 45 minutes at a time. i can barely walk. my foot is so swollen i can barely get a shoe on and this idiot is going to tell me i can return to work. I am an ironworker i build buildings it is a little rough to do when you cant walk. Stay away from this idiot.

In my opinion, Dr Hendler does not work for his patients, he works for the work comp carrier and he makes that clear in everything he does. No matter your injury he will say clinically he sees nothing wrong. He refuses to order diagnostic tests and follows ANY request made by the work comp carrier. He doesn't care about making his patients better, he cares about getting paid.
