Dr. Sean R Mendez, MD

Dr. Mendez is a doctor who truly listens, takes notes, cares, and follows up with his patients. A few months ago, I felt a sharp pain in my chest while at work. Although the pain didn’t last long, I knew I needed to get it checked. I went straight to the ER, where they ran tests—including troponin levels to rule out a heart attack—and did a chest X-ray. Everything came back normal. I also shared with the ER doctors that I had been under a lot of stress due to my brother’s recent passing. I found Dr. Mendez through a simple Google search for cardiologists affiliated with New York Presbyterian/Methodist in Brooklyn. What really caught my attention were the detailed reviews noting that “he listens.” That quality mattered immensely to me, and I was able to get an appointment literally the same day. From the moment I met him and his PA, I felt I was in caring and capable hands. They were both thorough, asking all the essential questions, and arranged necessary tests that same day. A few… days later, Dr. Mendez personally called me with the results—he never sent me a generic portal message or told me to check my chart. I greatly appreciated that personal touch. He recommended an echocardiogram and a CT scan of the heart, which were especially important given my family history. After each test, he called within 48 hours with the results. The office itself is spotless, and the front desk staff are welcoming, friendly, and efficient, which makes every visit comfortable and stress-free. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Dr. Mendez. You listened, took action, and provided reassurance when I needed it most. I will gladly tell everyone I know about your care. Exceptional doctor, exceptional person.
