Dr Mendoza is great: thorough and kind. I saw a RN Practitioner at the UW Woodinville Clinic who I saw for the same issues. The latter performed no exam and told me to continue with a cream I had been using. She did refer me to GI, who declined the referral but that was never communicated to me. Dr Mendoza attended clearly to my issues, examined me and prescribed treatments.
Dr. Mendoza, is efficient but unhurried during our visits. I've complete confidence in her decision-making and have always found my visits with her informative, educational and very satisfying. I Feel fortunate to have her as my guide in healthcare.

Doctor Mendoza is incredibly caring, careful, and attentive. I came to her because her colleagues know her as capable of handling complex cases, even in the setting of primary care, not normally oriented to serving folks with many overlapping conditions.

I love Dr. Mendoza! She's just very on top of things, and has an amazing bedside manner. I feel very taken care of and listened to.
As always, Dr Mendoza was so attentive to my concerns and knowledgeable about the medical issues surrounding them. She took time to fully explore each issue (sun allergy, neck/back pain, plantar fasciitis), assess the severity of the problem, and prescribe next steps - muscle relaxant and follow-up with my rheumatologist for neck/back pain- exercises and ice for plantar fasciitis - and follow-up with my podiatrist- sun protection for sun allergy - and follow-up with my dermatologist. Dr Mendoza is thorough and focused on providing the best care for me. She Is so compassionate and caring. Both my husband and I are her patients. We are so grateful for her care.

I stopped in to the clinic to get some guidance about who I should make an appointment with (my PCP, urgent care, or self-refer to a specialist). Dr Mendoza came to the front desk while I was working with front desk person. She recognized me and took time to come o er to see what was going on. She worked with the front desk person to find a small window of time in her schedule that same day! She is amazing.

Dr Mendoza is very good. Always listens well and responds to any concerns.
I've moved a lot in my life, which has led to switching PCPs frequently. Dr. Mendoza is by far the most lovely, supportive, empathetic, professional, knowledgeable, efficient, effective, and experienced provider I've ever had. As a general practitioner, she is so well rounded and informed, and she just has amazing instincts. So much so that specialists I go to as a follow-up regularly compliment her assessments and recommendations based on their deep knowledge and expertise within that specific subject area. I have moved to [...] and still deal with the painful commute to shoreline which can sometimes take up to an hour because I don't want to give her up. She is AMAZING!
Dr Mendoza is always attentive and thorough. I am so happy she is my PCP. My health has vastly improved since she has been my PCP.
