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.

I was abandoned by Dr. Mendez with no notice and no explanation following several years of a seemingly good rapport and care. I only received notice of this abandonment when I showed up for an appointment that I had had for two months that Dr. Mendez had (arbitrarily) decided he would no longer treat me to include that very appointment and I was sent away. I was told that a voicemail notifying me of this was left the day before. When inquired as to why he did that, I was given only vague information and outright fabrications of “multiple no shows” which did not exist (or were few if at all) as I’m good about keeping appointments and being punctual. I had been treated poorly by Dr Mendez’ recent staff in the recent couple of months when calling in to office, leaving messages which were never returned often leaving me without needed medications (NOT opioids or pain medications!) for weeks and can only assume his patient abandonment

After being with the office less than 3 mos. they were taken over and will not refill my much needed medication until I see the doctor again. That was not the policy before!! I am hundreds of miles away. Their solution just stop your medication!!!!!

My wife and I have been Dr Vicente Mendez’s patients for the last seven years, He is our family doctor. He serves us very carefully and he made us aware of how we should manage our health. He is always happy and take care of any health condition we could have. He gives us advice on how to keep ourselves healthy recommending us to have a healthy diet and exercise. He is an excellent and compassionate physician and we have recommended him to many friends and family. Rodolfo (Rudy) Rodriguez.

My husband & I chose Dr. Mendez as our physician just after he joined NOMC Physician's Group. My husband has Type II diabetes. Dr. Mendez has reduced reduced my husband medication from 27 prescriptions to 8. I am a cancer survivor of 5 years. Dr. Mendez regularly checks both of us to help us maintain a quality of life 78/80 year old people should enjoy. His ethics, professionalism, and skills are above reproach. NOMC and Crestview are extremely fortunate to have this highly skilled physician.

Dr. Mendez is a caring doctor. Dr. Mendez never makes me feel as though I am being rushed or that what I am concerned about with my health is not relevant matter. He always takes the time to discuss and explain things to me and make sure I fully understand my conditions and treatments for them. Dr. Mendez also make sure that not only is my physical health okay but my mental health as well. Over all Dr. Mendez is an overall well rounded doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Mendez now for a year or so. I came to him after a bad experience with another Dr. Dr. Mendez saved my life, I truly believe that. EVERYTIME I have gone to see him he calls me by name, He remembers conversations from our last appointments, and he ALWAYS asks about my family and shows genuine interest. I have recommended him to many people because he is the best Dr. in our area, and I will never go anywhere else! And he has the best staff ever! They are the best of the best
