Dr. Bendre was wonderful to work with. X-rays were taken right in the office, and evaluated during the appointment, which helped diagnose the issue real time. The doctor was down to earth, listened to what I had to say, explained my condition, and offered options on how to best proceed based on his assessment. I received both treatment and a supportive device as part of my visit. I received clear written instructions at the end of the appointment, including directions for a follow up call to inform him of my level of relief after my treatment. I was very happy with my level of care and would highly recommend this physician. I'd also like to mention that I was able to get an appointment the very next day after my initial call to his office to get scheduled, which was both refreshing and appreciated.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
