Patient Reviews

July 23, 2026
It was professional and very kind
July 16, 2026
I love Dr. MENDEZ . He is the best. I've been going with him for such a long time. He's never changed. He just improves. I love him and you should employ more people like him. He's the best doctor.
July 10, 2026
Dr. Mendis is the best doctor I've ever had and I like his honesty and his professionalism and I gladly go back. Thank you again. Joe Moynoy.
July 09, 2026
Yeah, my numbers were lower this time than other times. I think there's a letdown from the topper management. Thank you very much.
July 09, 2026
Dr. Mendez keeps his patients waiting way to long.
July 07, 2026
Very comfortable
July 06, 2026
Good job doctors
July 06, 2026
Wonderful office and staff.
July 02, 2026
Dr Mendez is always very courteous and listens attentively to my needs. He is thorough with his examination and shows sincere consideration when discussing any medical procedures or problems. I have been going to him for many many years and each and every time I leave feeling confident that my medical needs have been properly taken care of.
July 02, 2026
Doctor was very professional. Doctor was highly recommended to me by my brother.
June 30, 2026
I had a 3pm appointment and didn't see the doctor until almost 4pm. That is too long a wait.
June 30, 2026
Pleasant
June 29, 2026
Takes too long to get an appointment. Considering calling other doctors offices to see how long they wait list for an appointment
June 25, 2026
Unfortunately, I did not see Dr. Mendez on the date that I was supposed to see him. I did go to his office. I had an appointment at 2 o'clock. I got there about quarter to two. They took me back at two o'clock and by quarter to three, I still was not seen by him. So I was waiting in the waiting room for almost 45 minutes in his office to see him. Not in the waiting room, in an examining room. And I never saw him because I actually had another doctor's appointment 30 minutes later, so I had to leave. I did hear him next door because he was with another patient and had been with that patient well over 30, 35 minutes. And I was just kept waiting again, like 45 minutes. This is the first time this has ever happened to me with Dr. Mendez. I've been seeing him for over 25 years and he's always been a great doctor and he takes very good care of me and I really trust him.
June 22, 2026
Dr. Mendez is fabulous. Just fabulous. Unfortunately, he's too busy. Kind of like my Dr. (name removed). He's just too busy. But no, he's just the most wonderful doctor ever, and I would recommend him to anybody. So, anyways, I hope that makes you happy. I'm just going to hit the end button.
June 18, 2026
Very professional.
June 16, 2026
I have no problems with this office.
June 15, 2026
(Name removed) helped me with my vitals, he was also the phlebotomist that took my blood prior to the visit with absolutely no pain. Doctor Mendez always listens carefully to what my concerns are and explains treatment so I can understand it. Love him.
June 15, 2026
PIH needs to develop a system where the consumer can have direct contact with the office where the physician works. There is a huge break down between the call center and the office leaving the consumer in limbo especially for such things as prescription issues where there is an immediate need.
June 09, 2026
I waited almost an hour to see the doctor and I barely got 5 minutes of his time when he came in to see me finally. I was very disappointed with my visit.
June 08, 2026
I think on the last question, I hit the wrong button. It was supposed to be a four or whatever the best is, four for it. I hit a 10. I thought it was the same as the previous one. But Dr. Mendez is the best. I've been seeing him for years. I do not live in the area anymore. I live up in Duarte, California. And I drive the distance to go down and see him as my primary care physician. He is on the ball. He is always there for me. And I just can't sing his phrases enough. Yeah, I will not change doctors as long as Dr. Mendez is still practicing medicine. Thank you very much.
June 04, 2026
My only complaint is NOT about Dr Mendez but the length of time it takes to get in to see him!!! To have to wait 3/4 MONTHS to see a PCP is VERY disturbing!!!!
June 01, 2026
Alexander Mendez is a great doctor and I always feel that he cares about me and I think that's very important.
June 01, 2026
Dr Mendez is great at taking in a lot of information and helping develop a plan. Listens, cares and tries to help navigate complicated health issues. Great doctor.....he's just so popular he is hard to see.
June 01, 2026
I think everything is fine, with the people who care for the patients.
May 26, 2026
Dr. A. Mendez has been my primary doctor for nearly 20 years and appreciate his bedside manner and his caring nature.
May 15, 2026
Dr Mendez shows concern and listens to you. He cares about you.
May 15, 2026
Everything went well. Had a cancer on my chest removed
May 11, 2026
I arrived early for my appointment. Filled out additional paperwork. Waited 30 minutes past my appointment time. I realize the later in the day your appointment time is, the more likely appointments have been running late making my waiting time longer.
April 28, 2026
It's very hard to get an appointment when I need one. I usually have to go to Urgent Care Care.
April 23, 2026
Dr Mendez is an excellent doctor and his staff are the best!

All issues were explained to me and taken care of. I value and trust his directions.

March 19, 2026
Through the years and living in quite a few different places I had several doctors. I must say Dr. Mendez has got to be the number one doctor in my experience. He has a tremendous personality, is understanding of issues and explains things in a way that are easy to understand. I certainly trust him.

The nurse was very rude to me. She was questioning me on everything and purposely took my BP and did it very tight on my arm. And made a negative comment about the Dr.
December 30, 2025
Doctors and staff always friendly and professional.
December 30, 2025

Very worthwhile and professional
December 18, 2025
Dr Mendez always gives ample time to discuss whatever. Not in a hurry to move on, as some doctors are. Clearly explains issues.
December 16, 2025
great customer service
December 04, 2025
I really liked the way everyone treated me. I'm very happy to go to your office. Thank you.
December 04, 2025
I think your office receptionist and manager are very rude and condescending. They do not treat the patients with respect. They do not listen to the patient and they do not hear what they have to say. They just kind of like bully you into an answer. I don't agree with it. I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. I've been a patient of Dr. Mendez for over 20 years and it just progressively gets worse. But the doctor's fantastic.
December 02, 2025
Always begin and enter visits with confidence in all matters. But..... we the public are bombarded with survey requests.
December 02, 2025
I'm super happy and thankful to have Dr Mendez as my primary physician.
November 25, 2025
The staff at PAH have been very helpful. Dr. Mendez listened to me and gave me feedback for my annual physical exam. I'm pleased with the overall service. Thank you.
November 20, 2025
The office has hired a new staff member to assist and she was delightful.
November 18, 2025
I have been seeing Dr. Mendez now for quite a few years. I am extremely happy with him. He is the top in my book. I've moved up to Dwarf, California, and he's still my primary care doctor. I drive down there to see him. I don't trust anyone else.
November 18, 2025
Thank you for always taking the extra time with (PHI removed). You always make her laugh.
November 17, 2025
Dr. Mendez is the best. I've been with him over 20 years. He's great.
November 13, 2025
Dr Mendez and (name removed) are amazing providers. Not only did they provide great care but they were just fun to interact with. For the first time in my life a Doctors visit did not feel like a chore.
November 10, 2025
What needs to be done is to train some of the nurses because when they're caring for older people like me, sometimes we can't understand what they're saying because they speak very slowly, and sometimes they're wearing masks, which makes it even harder to understand them. And I've noticed that some of them seem annoyed because I keep asking them what they told me. It's just that older people don't hear very well anymore. When other nurses are very helpful, I can understand the doctor perfectly well too, but some nurses speak very slowly and ask you questions when their backs are turned, or they're doing something on the computer. It's hard to understand, so it would be good if they received a little training.
November 06, 2025
Making an appointment is ridiculously long and I do not like that.
November 04, 2025
Dr. Mendez was very patient and thorough going over my annual physical results. Thanks Dr. Mendez.

October 14, 2025
Simply not enough dr. at PIH.. not Dr Mendez fault.. other times it takes to long to get appointment.. also , specialist like eye. Or skin takes months for appointment.. reminds me of Keiser.. Dr Mendez has been our family dr. For 30 plus years.. he's great..
October 14, 2025
Doctor Mendez always explains things so I can understand. He has been my doctor for many years, love coming to see him!
October 07, 2025
My feelings about Dr. Mendez are great, he listens and explains things so that i understand. my problem is not with the DR. but with PIH as a whole. it takes to much time and effort to get someone on the phone to answer questions in a timely manor.
October 07, 2025
Dr. Mendez is very approachable and attentive. Firm in his approach and medical conviction. The nurses were caring. Will be sending my wife and son to see the Dr.

Very efficient and professional
September 23, 2025
The staff and Dr Mendez are very professional and kind.
September 15, 2025
I called maybe four times. Last week, this week, the nurses have left my primary doctor three, four notes by now. They put ASAP on the notes, you know, rush, whatever. Still no response from him. I'm asking for B12 shots because they helped me and I have not gotten a response back from him. I don't understand why. You know, it's B12. It's not a narcotic or anything like that. It, you know, it helps take away the tingling, numbing feeling that I had in my hands and feet. It helped tremendously with it. My senses have come back since. I'm just trying to get in to get more B12 shots or, you know, whatever.
September 09, 2025
Doctor Mendez was a doctor for various members of my family in the past and is now my doctor and my wife's. Dr. Mendez is, in my opinion, going to be my primary doctor. Thank you, Dr. Mendez.
September 09, 2025
Dr. Mendez is an excellent physician. He's compassionate and takes an interest in your well being.

September 02, 2025
My appointment with Dr Mendez was a great experience! He truly listened to my concerns and seemed genuinely interested! His professional manner was above and beyond. I was VERY IMPRESSED with him and most happy he will be my PCP!
August 26, 2025
Great office and provider.
August 26, 2025
Office (front office ) personnel could display friendliness and a smile would definitely go a long way.
August 25, 2025
More detailed followup would be nice. Left the office not really sure what to do after that.
August 21, 2025
My experience was great. I'm comfortable with my doctor and really feel that he listens, understands, and works to try and solve any issues. Everyone else must like him as well because it's difficult to get an appointment unless it's 4-6 months which can be a bit frustrating. Extremely happy with my doctor.
August 19, 2025
Excellent, very professional, clear understanding of Dr. Méndez's instructions, excellent treatment.
