Dr. Mendoza is amazing! I actually met him while I was still pregnant because I interviewed peds before my daughter was born. I thought I was never going to find a ped for my daughter and then I walked into Foothills Pediatrics. Dr. Mendoza blew me away in the first interview and I have been hooked since. I actually started taking my daughter to him from day 1. He came by my hospital room to meet Annabelle on her birthday. That really impressed me.
Dr. Mendoza spends a lot of time with each patient and will answer all of your questions, even when there are a million of them. I am a first time mom and don't know what I am doing, so I always have questions during my visits, so he always earns his pay with me. He never makes you feel rushed or hurries you in any way. You feel like you are welcomed and part of the family. You can even call 24 hours a day if you have any questions and you always get someone or get called back quickly.
The nursing staff is also quite friendly and warm. They seem to enjoy being around the little ones and making them comfortable. The front office staff is friendly too. It is just a nice place to be.
The only negative is that sometimes you have to wait a bit even when you have an appointment. I once had to wait 30 minutes after my appointment time to go back and then waited another 30 minutes in the waiting room. Again, it isn't always like that, but it has happened a couple of times. This is the only reason why I didn't rate it a 5.
