Dr. Mendler was everything that you would want in a doctor, and more! He is charismatic, funny, and an overall very easygoing guy. Speaking to him is like talking to a friend, he makes you feel very calm and comfortable. My visit with Dr. Mendler did not feel rushed whatsoever and he took time to go through all my concerns and explain them to me with detail. He is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, a true expert in his craft. Thank you Dr. Mendler, the world needs more people like you!

The doctor did a very thorough exam on my son and asked many questions about what was going on. I found the manner in which he spoke to my son and I very informative, but not in a way we didnt understand what he was saying. He also didn't try to push unnecessary imagining tests which i appreciated.
