Doctor Mendez is amazing

Dr. Lisa Mendes explained everything very well including the future decisions about my plan of care. I would recommend her to other patients. I know I can always access her via MyHealth for questions. The only problem is she stays booked and appointments are several months away. However, she is backed up by wonderful nurse practitioners, and I have seen two previously. Both are very competent and able to access Dr. Mendes when needed. I feel like I am fortunate to have Vanderbilt Heart Clinic for my health care. Thanks.

Dr Mendes is always perceptive; listens well; takes time to explain things. She is worth driving to downtown, parking, negotiating the maze to the 5th floor, and wandering around to leave.
