Great doctor!
Oct-2024
We made the trip (100 miles) to B’ham for our appointments,which took 2 to 3 months to obtain. We arranged for our children to be there for the consultation too. After waiting 3 hours we asked about the appointment and we’re told he was too busy to see us today. I can understand that he was in surgery, but why make us wait for 3 hours before telling us? And we found out only after asking how much longer it would be. Surely the staff knew about it before 3 hours had passed. Plus, both our children had left their jobs to be there with us! Not mad but very disappointed with the whole experience!

I have been a patient of Dr. Menendez since late June of 2022. He performed my 8th back surgery on July 22, 2022. My back was in a mess from a shifting plate from previous surgery.

Oct-2023
I lived with back pain for over 5 years because every doctor I went to refused to take me seriously. My right leg had gone almost completely numb, but still "nothing was wrong". Dr. Menendez is the first doctor that took me seriously and did a discectomy and gave me my life back. I can finally walk without a cane or wheelchair, I can feel my leg, and I no longer have excruciating back pain. If you need a neurosurgeon that will help you to the best of his ability and take you seriously, go see Dr. Menendez. I will forever be grateful to this doctor!
Oct-2023
Very informative and friendly. Very patient and offered up clear options.

I had a spinal fusion (S1/ L5) in April three weeks later and I m back at work. Three months later everything looks great and healing as expected. The few times I need to get in touch with his office they were very quick to respond after leaving a message. Dr. Menendez was the second surgeon I had seen in regard to the nerve pain in my leg’s we new after the first visit he would be the one I would use. He has a great personality and does a good job of explaining the problems and how to fix it.
Jul-2023
The doc seemed rushed and preoccupied, and spent less than 5 minutes with me after waiting an hour to see him. He gave his spill quickly, shook my hand and left.
Jul-2023
You absolutely will not find a better Neurosurgeon and staff, that are on top of their field. Their attention to every minuscule detail, while maintaining efficiency is incredible. I simply could not rate them anything other than “off the charts” in the positive direction, while creating a perpetual increasing of knowledge in the field of Neuroscience.
Jun-2023
Great bedside manner, he has a great personality, he explains what he sees on the images as well as answers all your questions. He doesn’t want you to make a decision then, but go home read over the information and PRAY ABOUT what you should do next. He was highly recommended to me and I must say I see why.
Jun-2023
Kind, easy to understand your problem.

I met Dr Menendez yesterday for the first time and In happy to say he was one of the nicest and most personable Des I have met since moving to Alabama. He immediately made me feel comfortable by shaking my hand and smiling and making me feel less nervous about the reason I was there. He listened to me, and I meant really listened and he did not just dismiss my needs or concerns. He seemed to be actually interested in helping me too feel better instead of making me feel as if I was a burden, as other doctors have done. I feel very blessed to have chosen him instead of the surgeon I was originally referred to. I feel like my health and my healing are safe in this hands. I also like that he is in the same building as my primary doctor and also that he is familiar with my pain management doctor. I finally feel as if I have the right team to help me.

Dr. Menendez is a very good doctor with a very polite way about him. He always shakes your hand when he comes in to see you & shakes it again when he leaves. Explains & shows you what is going on. If you have any neurological issues I would highly recommend Dr. Menendez & his entire staff. This place is outstanding. Please give them a try if you are in serious pain & need help. My surgeon passed away unexpectedly & while there were 3 other surgeons in my area I felt I needed someone I could trust & feel comfortable with so I went on a search of the internet & discovered Dr. Menendez, This would be my 4th back surgery. I have to drive one & hour 15 min to get there. Well worth the extra miles. T. Marks

Jan-2021
I enjoyed my first visit with Dr. Josh Menendez. He took lots of time with me today to explain, in detail, what I should, and probably should not, consider going forward with my complaint. I felt very relieved and far less worried about my issue when I left. The last time I visited Neurological Associates, frankly, I felt as if I were being herded through like cattle ;). TODAY, however, was a much more personable office visit. Much better. I've been a patient for at least 15 years and am more than happy to recommend Dr. Menendez without reservation~
Jan-2021
Yesterday was my first time meeting him. I was very pleased with my office visit he wanted to know every thing that was going on and requested I have another MRI before proceeding.
Jan-2021
Very informative regarding the problem, and we liked the plan that he for going on in the future.
Jan-2021
Great bedside manner. Usually a verrrry long waiting room wait. Receptionists can be short and gruff speaking. Like Dr. Menendez a lot, did not care much for the staff at the hospital while there for back surgery. He is good, however.
Jan-2021
I had 3 surgery's under him, i have recovered really fast. He is the best.

Went there in pain and left with pain. The Doctor did not seem interested addressing my pain right then, only in cutting on me in my back...Surgery. I thought a doctor would consider every possible alternative with surgery being the last result. Who wants to go from leg pain to back and leg pain?

Dr. Menendez was very matter of fact. He explained everything very well, and gave me detailed options to improve my back pain.
Great doctor!
We made the trip (100 miles) to B’ham for our appointments,which took 2 to 3 months to obtain. We arranged for our children to be there for the consultation too. After waiting 3 hours we asked about the appointment and we’re told he was too busy to see us today. I can understand that he was in surgery, but why make us wait for 3 hours before telling us? And we found out only after asking how much longer it would be. Surely the staff knew about it before 3 hours had passed. Plus, both our children had left their jobs to be there with us! Not mad but very disappointed with the whole experience!
Very kind and caring doctor. Gave me all my options in an understandable manner.
Great bedside manner! Explained my medical problem very well. Took his time and answered all my questions.
Excellent Doctor with a great bedside manner along with expert knowledge of my situation
