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 an excellent, caring doctor
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!
