Patient Reviews
Apr 14, 2024
We recently moved from another state to this area. I was nervous about finding a new provider to help manage my UC. I explained my history and the office worked hard to find me an appointment that was convenient for my schedule. Dr. Mendu has been amazing through the process. She takes her time to explain things and allow for questions. She has also been very thorough. Fingers crossed my medications keep a flare at bay, but if they don’t I know that I will be in good hands. When it was time for my colonoscopy everyone in the procedure area was extremely patient and kind. You can tell they run a well oiled machine. It stinks having UC but having providers like Dr Mendu make it a lot less scary!
