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.

Dr. Bendorf treated me for respect and listen to me problems. He examined the areas of concern and explained what he diagnosed as the cause of the problem and recommended on how to treat it. I now have an understanding of what to do and have a plan to fix it. I am very satisfied with his assessment and path forward for my healing process.
