I arrived about 10 minutes early, and check-in was very quick ( I also checked in online). A few minutes after checking in, the nurse called me in. The nurse took my vitals, and Dr. Mendoza was in a couple of minutes early. Dr. Mendoza is always very personable and professional and answers any questions I may have. This visit was very quick as I only had a skin lesion I wanted him to look at while I wait to see my dermatologist.

December 17, 2024
Although very professional and kind, he only spent about 2 minutes with me. He intimately gave me the tests I hoped for- but he did not seek to understand my circumstances. He had no compassion when delivering a negative pregnancy test- that is a very sensitive topic for a woman, I feel like news like that should be delivered with sensitivity rather than in a matter of fact- no big deal kind of way.
