"The procedure went well. My only drawback is the prep. There has to be a better way. The care prior to the procedure and after the procedure was top shelf. I was treated as uf I mattered, and in today's society that is very, very rare."
"I have been going to see Dr Mendelson for over 27 years. He and his staff are always first rate. In simple terms, they make it easy to go see the doctor. I trust Dr Mendelson fully."
"Dr.Mendelson is the best ever! He is very friendly and kind, he really does care about your health. He has been my doctor for many many years and I would never change that. If you need a great GI doctor he is who you should use, you will thank me! Just had another procedure with Dr.Mendelson June 2023...still amazing customer service and he has the best personality and just an amazing doctor!"
"The Doctor and staff were all kind and hospitable. Doc has a great sense of humor and checked up on me after the procedure. Would definitely recommend to others."
"Dr. Mendelson is knowledgeable, caring and took his time during my visit. I feel like we, together made a plan for my health and that's not the norm these days."
"Dr. Mendelson is a great Gastroenterologist. He has been my doctor for at least 10 years. The question was: Would I refer him to anyone I know. Well, I definitely would if I thought he would still be practicing for at least 10 more years. He, like me, is getting close to retirement and more than likely someone else may not want to establish a relationship with a doctor that may be retiring soon. But no other doctor has the confidence that I have in him."
"Dr.mendelson is great, never rushes you threw the office. He takes time to listen to you and best of all he hears what you say. Excellent personality. I have gone to him for years. Always solved my issue with one visit. His office staff are very helpful also and pleasant."
"Dr. Mendelson was very helpful and explained everything that was happening with my health issues. I've had many doctors ran a bunch of tests just to tell me it is my anxiety making my stomach hurt so bad. Thankfully Dr. Mendelson is actually taking steps to help me and not just blame it on something else. I would recommend him to anyone who is having stomach troubles."
"We had a wonderful experience. He is very knowledgeable and informative. He was very compassionate about our situation. I would highly recommend him."
"I have been a patient of Dr Mendelson for 40 years after he diagnosed me with Crohn’s. Under his care I have been able to keep it pretty much under control. He and his staff have always been very quick to respond to any issues I have had. I would recommend him to anyone."
"The Doctor and Staff did a great job. They made me fill Comfortable put me addies everything went as clock work. I had nothing to worry about. Thank you Doctor Mendelson and Staff. Keep up the Great Work that Ya'll do. Dean."
"Had to have an EGD to help diagnose a GERD issue along with an issue with my esophagus. Dr Mendelson and his team were awesome. Found an issue with my stomach and biopsied it along with fixing an area of my esophagus that was constricted causing me trouble with swallowing and fixed it. Would highly recommend Dr Mendelson and his staff if you need this type of care."
"Dr.Mendelson is a kind person and is an expert amongst the experts in his field. I very much appreciate that he isn’t one of those physicians that automatically gravitates towards the most expensive treatments out there when there may be something tried and true that will also work. Additionally, it was a welcome bonus that he seemed to possess a rather decent sense of humor for helped to put me at ease. This latest encounter was my second colonoscopy and first esophageal duodenal gastroscopy (EDG) that he has performed for me. I anticipate continuing to employ his services and expertise in the coming future. My expertise includes 25 years of nursing in which 17 years have been in critical care mostly in emergency. As a patient I feel the same since of vulnerability at times as a lay person. I find Dr.Mendelson extremely principled and trustworthy. I highly recommend Dr.Mendelson!"
"Dr. Mendelson took his time. Although I’d been seeing Gastroenterologists for at least 20 years this was the first time I felt that a Dr took the time to explain everything well enough for me to understand. He did not start off with expensive meds. He started me on the least invasive/expensive solutions. Every time I see someone I ask them if they need a gastroenterologist and then I say, “ do I have a guy for you“! His nurse is also very personable and patient and kind."
"Have been going to Dr. Mendleson for many years. Great doc and takes excellent care of me. Highly recommend him. Great to talk to also very easy to talk to."
"I love Dr. Mendleson’s attention to detail and willingness to hear your experience in an attempt to understand the purpose of your visit. I did not feel mis-assessed due to being rushed as a side effect of scheduling. My biggest past issue with doctors is being assessed without concern for my understanding of what is taking place. He takes time you hear and understands you while also offering his 50+ years of experience to your current understanding of the issue or assessment. That helps me to understand how to navigate around my experienced issues. He is highly booked and it may be an extended time to see him which is similar to most specialists. But, I am willing to wait long as needed for this type of experience, communication and service."
"Dr. Menselson and his entire staff were one of the most gracious, courteous, and professional people that I have had the pleasure of being serviced by. Both he and his nursing staff were excellent putting my mind and concern at ease prior to and after the procedure. I wholeheartedly recommend both him and his staff for their extraordinary customer service and cordial demeanor in their dealing with and treatment of patients!"
"I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy performed by Dr. Mendelsohn and both procedures went very smoothly. Quite honestly I could not tell that I even had them as I had no discomfort at all after the procedures. I was even surprised how alert I was after the anesthesia and how quickly I recovered. This was my third colonoscopy and second endoscopy with Dr. Mendelsohn. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing these procedures. Also his staff was very professional and were very attentive to all my needs. Excellent experience."
"Dr.Mendelson right to the point Dr. he listened to you about you medical condition he will give the best medical advice involving your medical condition very good team."
"Dr Mendelson and his staff are awesome. They take their time with you to make sure you are comfortable and understand everything. You won’t feel rushed. They listen you!"

You were not only professional, you were personable and compassionate regarding my needs. Thank you for one of the greatest services I have had in many many years. I appreciate you all!!"
"Dr.Mendelson is the best ever! He is very friendly and kind, he really does care about your health. He has been my doctor for many many years and I would never change that. If you need a great GI doctor he is who you should use, you will thank me!"
"I would recommend Dr. Michael Mendelson to anyone? I am one of Dr. Mendelson‘s younger patients and he never makes me feel ashamed or embarrassed of coming to see him. He remembers exactly who I am and he remembers my history which is important. He has a way of calming me down when I think my body is breaking apart. He has an excellent way of not using medical jargon when talking to me she breaks it down to where I can understand what he’s going to do or what possibly could be wrong. He is the best example of how a doctor should treat their patient and if you are looking around look no further. He is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and I plan to keep going to him in the future. Thank you for what you do Dr. Mendelson it means everything."
"Highly Recommend Dr Mendelson....can not say enough about this physician. Very compassionate, competent and doesn't give up until he can help you. His staff is wonderful. If you have any GI issues do not hesitate to call on Dr Mendelson"
"I had to have a colonoscopy and I have always gone to Dr Mendelson. He takes the time to come in snd visit with me before the procedure and then after I am in recovery will come in and go over everything with me. He is very conciterate and cares about the concerns of his patients !"
"Had a colonoscopy done and also had visited Him in the past for an issue. He was very thorough when he asked me questions years ago. He made me think wow a doctor that asks tons of questions…awesome. The prep for this procedure had very detailed instructions and the staff / nurses at the center were very nice. Only thing that was a slight issue is we had to call the pharmacy to ask them to fill the Rx because it was on hold. We figured that it would already be done and we didn’t know we had to call ahead."

"i think dr. michael mendelson is great. i went to him quite a few years ago when i began having trouble swallowing and keeping food down. he performed an upper endoscopy down my throat several times and that did the trick. it remedied the stricture or narrowing of my esophagus. have had no problems since. my primary care physician recently wanted me to get a colonoscopy done. i mentioned dr. mendelson's name and she said that who is who she uses. i went for the first interview before the actual colonoscopy and i was blown away at dr. mendelson's meticulous detail to every procedure and medicine i have ever taken. i mean the guy was thorough. very friendly too. i was impressed since i had not seen him in a few years, maybe ten. and the colonoscopy was the most pleasant of the three total i have ever had and that is saying something."
