The reviews listed below were collected independently of Swift Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Poor Experience— Unprepared and Disengaged. Waited for over an hour, came into the room no apology, no introduction first visit. I was referred to Dr Mendoza from the hip doctor in his office. Dr. Mendoza didn’t seem to have reviewed my records or MRI results. He requested XRays and never discussed the X-rays . I requested the MRI results multiple times and finally when he showed me the results, he brought me out of the exam room to a screen at a desk with multiple people around the vicinity with no respect to my privacy. Very disappointed, he was disinterested in treating me and rushed.

He was interested in my reason I was there. Polite and I told him how long I had the issue. I told I was not interested in surgery but physical therapy I would be.

I left feeling a little confused. A lot was thrown at me at once and I felt like I left his office not knowing what the problem was. I would have liked to seen the X-rays of my back and hips. But I guess that was my problem for not asking.

He believes spinal surgery is incredibly complex from both a clinical and technical standpoint. Proper patient selection and choice of procedure can be every bit, if not more challenging, than the surgery itself. Because every patient is different, determining who can actually benefit from the vast array of available procedures embodies the art of medicine. He takes a conservative approach and have a particular interest in utilizing minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures and motion-preserving techniques in patients who have exhausted non-operative treatments. His free time is largely spent with his wife, three children, and two dogs. He enjoys playing basketball, golf, and snowboarding.
