4.0 star star star star star_borderShe seems knowedgeable about Congenital heart disease. She showed care and concern. I need to follow up with her after I get tests done to discuss test results and coordinate care with the electrophysiologist. So I need to wait to know how to proceed after test results.

5.0 star star star star starI highly recommend Dr. Marla Mendelson. I had to schedule an appt. with her and when I did, I was told that it would be like later months, Jan or Feb, can't remember. A day later, I received a call from her staff and said, that Dr. Mendelson wanted to see me sooner and to schedule me in. Less than a week, I had the appt with Dr. Mendelson and all went well at her office with her exam and tests she had instructed in her office. She is thorough and informative. I really like Dr. Marla Mendelson. She is a great asset to NM.

5.0 star star star star starHer approach is very by the book. She was pleasant to talk to you but unyielding about her beliefs against medication that I am used to taking. That probably makes her an excellent doctor, but she does not have my buy in completely. She’s also insisting that I repeat a stress test because it was done along time ago. I think I could provide the record but she didn’t seem interested.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Mendelson has always been and continues to be great. I’ve been seeing her since about 2012. Trust her completely and her expertise. She has an amazing bedside matter and although thankfully I don’t have to see her that often when I do she completely puts me at ease.

5.0 star star star star starFriendly, efficient, knowledgeable staff that took the time to talk to Stephanie. She’s cognitively impaired and left the visit understanding her health a bit more and feeling empowered to make some changes to life the best life she can. A HUGE thank you!!!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Mendlesen was extremely thorough and spent a lot of time with me to discuss and understand my symptoms. Feel better during my pregnancy/delivery knowing she will follow my case and be available in the event of any cardiac issues that arise between now and my baby’s delivery.
