Jeffrey Mendelson is an excellent doctor and surgeon. I met Dr Mendelson along with his father about 27 years ago. They cared for my son after a mortercycle accident. I seen the doctor for my knee and back. I can not say enough about Dr Mendelson. He is the best. It was very easy to book my appointment on line. The office staff was exceptional. If you are looking for an excellent doctor and surgeon, look no further.

Always exceeds my expectations
Very thorough exam and consult. But I did not see Dr Mendelson as scheduled. The woman I saw was very personable as were all staff.
I wasn’t being able to see Dr Jeffrey Mendelson in my appointment with him, which is ridiculous. He sent a really arrogant and rude lady to consult with me who doesn’t even bother to introduce herself when she walked in. She treated me like I was an idiot who is wasting her time, despite the fact that I do have a shoulder mobility issue that I try to seek professional opinion. She might think it’s not serious but my left shoulder hurts at certain angle and can’t perform the same function to the right shoulder, very obvious uneven flexibility. But all I got was a 5 mins unpleasant conversation with the lady who I still don’t know her role/tittle. I can’t wait to see how much they’re going to charge me for the x-rays and a failed “office visit”. I would never recommend anyone to this provider.
Great, quick experience to book an appointment. Great attention and bedside manner during my appointment. Everyone was friendly and genuinely concerned with my care
This Dr was very dismissive, I asked can I start doing my daily exercise and he said it’s in your conscious? My appointment was also very rushed.
The nurse practitioner should get a 5 star because she was very patient and she took time out to talk with me and answer any questions that I had as if I were the only per In the building. However, the doctor came in with his phone in his hand as if he had someone on hold. He was kind, pleasant and I understand that his nurse had everything covered but I’d rather see her again if I had to return.

Verified patient
I have been a patient of Dr Jeff for over 10 years. He will never do an unnecessary surgery and will always give you his professional opinion. He is the best in the business.
I have seen this provider for more than 15 years and My Mother was his patient when he first started his practice. I would not go to anyone else
Verified patient
Very straight forward, matter of fact, but, not overly clinical. Doctor Jeff told me what I needed to know in a relaxed professional manner. Shared some personal experience. which was nice. Highly recommend.
Verified patient
Outstanding, professional and thrall. The appointment was very fluid and informative. I appreciated Dr. Jeffery Mendelson explained my x-rays and options. I was impressed with the patient to Dr. communication. I told my brother who will be scheduling a hip appointment, and I will be recommending to anyone i know seeking a possible surgery.
Verified patient
I saw Jeff but his brother David has done at least 7 major surgeries for my extended family. There are 5 doctors with the same last name in one practice so you know there is great institutional knowledge. I instantly broke out in a cold sweat and felt dizzy when I saw needles. The staff noted this immediately and did masterful job of calming me down. They also have an excellent online experience for new patient paperwork vs 17 pages on a clipboard without a desk. Can’t speak to their insurance acceptance but I have BCBS PPO for reference.
Verified patient
Dr. Jeffery is very understanding and actually examines the patient for the problem cuz now a-days drs just diagnose without looking further. He seemed like he takes his time with his patients and tries to understand the situation and creates a solution. Also, they are very flexible with scheduling as well, I had to cancel twice and was still able to reschedule easily.
Verified patient
I would recommend Dr. Mendelson and Synergy to anyone! They have a great system and facility and all the people I spoke with were wonderful and caring!
Verified patient
Dr. Jeff Mendelson was professional but personable. He was clear and concise in his explanation of the scans/ x-rays as well as the plan of action. I felt relieved and at ease when leaving the appointment . I have a great sense of confidence that I am well capable hands. I would definitely recommend Dr Jeff Mendelson to my family and friends if warranted. Thank you for the opportunity to provide my feedback.
I found out more about my condition in one visit than I have in 3 years truly amazing and I’m glad I made the decision to see a new physician Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
