She engaged with me and my wife in discussions and options for treatments. I left with a clear understanding of the next steps and how surgery may necessitate changes to the plan of care. During all of this Dr. Mendelow helped me through a difficult first visit for my condition. Thank you.

She listens and I feel like she validate me. I trust her and her professionalism is outstanding. She has established open orders for me to to go lab to provide a urine sample to culture it and see if I have any bacteria forming or infections. This has allowed me the flexibility to do as I generally do not have any systems for UTI's until it becomes worse and bordering a Kidney infection.
