Patient Rating
Patients consistently praise Dr. Mendez and his team as knowledgeable, compassionate, and excellent communicators who listen carefully, explain options, and provide supportive, thorough cancer care that many credit with positive outcomes. Reviewers frequently note attentive involvement of family, clear explanations of treatment choices, and a calm, comforting manner. A few comments mention problems: one patient felt their interest in a costly alternative treatment was brushed aside, and another reported a very long wait that made the visit feel hurried. Some patients also requested clearer written or printable scheduling tools to manage complex medication and radiation timing.

Dr. Mendez is wonderful to have for the care he provides.
In our state of cancer anxiety, oral explanation and written explanation of proposed chemotherapy/radiation for brain cancer was a lot to digest. Don't know if there is a better method to down load to patients. The choreography of cancer pill taking, as well as the other 5 daily, their timing and the course of 33 visits seems a lot at the moment. Is there a printable online calendar to use plotting what meds to take/when or radiation dates? Don't want to miss anything.
