Patient Reviews
Apr 06, 2024
Dr. Richard Mendoza is an ' OutstandingDoctor' I have no complaints about this Doctor, he is excellent in his field & also because he knows how to treat all his patients I'm sure, becausehe is very very kind & explains everything in detail concerning my examinations for the last 31 years.My concern is, I believe he has only '1''Optometrist' that works with him? Not sure?And that would be ' John J. Kinney O.D.'Are there other ' Optometrists' I can see other than ' Dr. Kinney ?' Because I reallyhate to lose a ' Really Good Doctor' likeDr. Mendoza. I do not want to be examined by a ' Optometrist' who has no respect for me.I would feel too uncomfortable going backto this particular ' Optometrist'As for the ' Other employees', they are friendly but one can't take the employeesseriously because when I was there all I heard was ' Constant laughter' I have been employed before & if anyone behavedthat way they would be fired. But my main concern is with Dr. Mendoza's'Optometrist
