Excellent doctor. Looked out for my best interests, and worked with my circumstances.
Tremendous help to me!
Dr Menendez was very thorough and brutally honest.
The meanings are clear I understood very clearly what the doctor said
Dr.Menendes is an excellent Dr .real knowledgeable and nice person.
When you tell the doctor your problems then he looks at you and asks what do you want me to do about it…well I guess nothing at that point. I was super hopeful all the reviews were not correct but sadly the reviews for this doctor are very true. When you lose the want to help people maybe you should hang it up. I mean I guess it’s normal to not have feeling in your leg. I mean what do I want the doctor to do anyway, right?
Dr Melendez is a very thoughtful and caring person.
