Excellent doctor. He operated on me years ago - that operation was a complete success. I've spoken to a few other people who had the same procedure and I'm sure I've come out of it better than all of them. I wanted Mr Mendoza to check the surgery site as I have been experiencing some pain. He was able to examine me and provide reassurance that there is nothing seriously wrong. He gave good clear advice for the future. Highly recommend.

Last year, I realised I couldn’t smell and saw an ENT specialist who picked up I had a 5cm brain tumour via a MRI scan. I was referred to Dr Mendoza. On first meeting he explained what I had, potential risks, providing me with options to move forward. He was incredibly empathic, apologising for the circumstances of our meeting. I've since had surgery led by Dr Mendoza, and the outcome was the best I could have hoped for. I feel very privileged to have been under Dr Mendoza’s care and the team that he assembled for me. I’m especially appreciative of the considered approach he took with my family. I feel very indebted to him for his services as it has been a difficult year for us. Now we can move on, work on recovery and look forward to happier times.
