Dr Mendiratta made it possible for me to see her for a condition that needed her attention. She has been a wonderful doctor for my husband and myself. Always follows up and is easy to contact. Her nurses are great.

Had a rash that was spreading. Got a referral to dermatology. When they called to schedule I couldn't get in until 3 MONTHS. This is not acceptable.
