    How was your appointment with Dr. Mendelson?

    Feb 10, 2023
    My son needed a new allergist. Dr. Mendelson was recommended by our pediatrician. I was able to schedule an appointment easily and quickly. The office staff were very friendly and kind, but Dr. Mendelson stole the show. He was kind, friendly, fun, and great with my little boy. He was intelligent, efficient, and knowledgeable. He spent so much time with us and answered all of my questions. He even looked at a long list of foods I made that my son will eat. He performed the procedures needed that day himself and didn’t have someone else do it. Our experience with Dr. Mendelson was possibly the best doctor experience I’ve ever had. My son agrees! I highly recommend this doctor! My husband will be making an appointment with him soon for himself. I only wish I had some allergies so he could be my doctor as well.
