Great doctor! He actually listens to what you have to say. He is very informative if you have any inquiries. His office visits are usually pretty close to being on time. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new physician.

Dr. Bendorf is the best doctor I've ever been to. He asks if he can help with whatever we are dealing with. I've had to have a physical done for a job and he was extremely thorough with diagnosis of my current health and Dr Bendorf made adjustments with my meds to correct the issues that concerned him. He also did an in office surgical procedure and was very quick and efficient and he saved me from having to make an appointment with a specialist and then get scheduled for a procedure he just did it in the office and saved me a lot of time. I would recommend Dr Bendorf to everyone that I know because I trust Dr Bendorf to take care of my friends and family just like he does me and that top notch service and care.
