My kids used to come here. Rude doctor it's his way or get out of his office, he refused to prescribe medication for molluscum contagiosum with one of my kids because he said it would go away on its own. It didn't go away it spread in outbreak with my other two kids. My daughter turned out to have a lot of Gastro intestinal problems, that he refused to acknowledge. I wouldn't recommend him. read more

Dr.Mendoza has been my family's pediatrician for over 18 years. He is an amazing neonatologist pediatrician. All of my daughter was born at 28 weeks his expertise & compassion made the NICU experience bearable. He made sure to check in with me weekly and he would visit my daughter daily throughout her hospital stay. I can't put to words what his support during such a scary time meant to my family & I. The front office is amazing! Candy is always so professional & sweet. She always gets it done. Daisy is always so patient & kind. I would highly recommend Dr.Mendoza's practice. read more

Dr Mendoza Best Pediatrician hands down. He's both my daughters Doctor and has been their doctor since they were born. He was at the hospital after both of my deliveries. He's HIGHLY recommended by the nurses at Long Beach Memorial Hospital, so far I'm very please with the level of care he's given both my little girls. The wait at his clinic isn't long. What impresses me about this clinic is when we call or visit they know who we are. Offering genuine compassion and understand. I had both my girls back to back therefore I'm essentially still a first time mom so at times I've called with questions, concerns and each time I call they're patient with me and forthcoming with guidance. I've called in a panic over a fever!! They helped me realize that every little thing doesn't warren a office visit. They understand. My sister also brings her daughter here and she's happy with their level of care as well. Parking: Available (FREE) right next to the building. Office: 2nd Floor ( Clean and kid friendly) Staff: Friendly (Bilingual) Dr Mendoza is bilingual as well. Tip: They only take PPO. read more

The best pediatrician that I know here, I always been so grateful to find him. He is so kind, very patient, explain every thing so easy to understand. I have BCBS PPO and I had a lots of problem because of that with others doctors... when my daughter born A LOTS OF DOCTORS REFUSE HER, even one don't want to give her a necessary second vaccine and they reasons was "because they don't have it", but was a LIE, they give it to other baby's at the same day and time, I was so devastated because she was only a 3 months baby, Come on!!! A baby!!!! It was not fair!!!! I was desesperated cause she is my only and first child and I didn't know anybody's here or many doctors. Thanks god miraculously I found him. Find Doctor Mendoza was a relief, every time she is sick or I need him, I always can talk with him, he is always in the care of her and of her recovery, even on the phone, I always can find him, the nurses are very nice, his assistant is really sweet, the office is perfect. Everything is perfect. I feel very safe taking my daughter to his office with them. 10000000% recommended. read more

I'm truly grateful to had found a great pediatrician for my child. I like that he takes his time to make my toddler feel comfortable specially before those vaccines. He also takes his time to give you a call when those test results have been received. And also I'm so glad he lets me know what is best for my child, because as a first time mom everything is just new to me. Thank you Dr. Mendoza. read more

It's hard to find a good dr this was my third pediatrician I had switched to because I did not like the service with the previous others and I'm so glad I did !! read more

This Doctor has poor bedside manner and refuses to work with you when it comes to medical treatments for your child, its his way or you get kicked out of his practice. Terrible. Found a great pediatrician near by who respects informed consent. read more

He's a really good doctor but they never answer the phone. I've been calling since 9am and the still have the answering service on and now it's 9:25. read more

This doctor does not respect parents opinions. He gave us only ultimatums, which we did not agree with and we were told to find a new pediatrician (We did) everyone has a right to medical freedom, it's called Informed consent. We do not recommend him at all! read more

Dr. Mendoza is a horrible doctor and he should just retire. Let me start with my older sister. He did not know she had Leukemia after several visits to the doctor about her health and never ordered blood work to be done. Luckily after 5 years of chemotherapy, she's alive and well. This doctor looks down on you and gets upset if you ask questions. My son is autistic and when I first suspected this, I told him that I think my son is autistic. He got extremely upset and told me to stop diagnosing my son and that I'm not a professional. He suggested I did better things to get my son to talk and eat different foods. When my son turned 3, I took him to get tested at a school and it turned out that I was right. My son was in fact autistic and if I would have had him diagnosed at an earlier age, he would have been able to get the help he needed earlier. Then at the age of 4, my son kept getting sick and Dr. Mendoza would refuse to give him any medication and I would practically beg him to prescribe him something. My son got so sick that I took him to the hospital and they did x-rays which showed that my son had pneumonia. He was about to die and Children's Memorial Hospital urged me to changed doctors because this could have been prevented. Luckily, surgeons said that the medication was working for my son and he threw up most of the phlegm and did not need the surgery anymore. Doctors told me that this happened because my son was not treated properly by his doctor. While I was looking for a new doctor for a year, my daughter got sick and Dr. Mendoza kept giving her antibiotic after antibiotic until he confessed that he did not know what was wrong with my daughter. I took her to the hospital and it turned out she had a respiratory infection. I asked Dr. mendoza beforehand if I should take her to the hospital and he said no. Also, when my daughter was about 6 months old, she developed a rash on her face only after giving her antibiotic and I called Dr. Mendoza and said that she's definitely not allergic after I asked him if it was an allergic reaction. Turns out that she was allergic to the antibiotic and the hospital treated my daughter. While he were there, I heard the couple next to us that their daughters doctor was also Dr. Jose Mendoza. It sounds like a lot of his patients go the the hospital due to his negligence. Dr. Mendoza has hanged up on me because he got annoyed that I was asking him questions about my son's fever and the next steps I should take. The next day his wife made him apologize to me. This doctor is petty and gets mad when you seek a second opinion and you should if he's your children's doctor for their safety. I now have a new doctor for my children and I'm happy to say that they are healthy and don't get sick as often because they're getting treated the way they're supposed to. read more

My daughter arrived at 29 weeks back in Feb. I met Dr.Mendoza in the NICU. He always answered all my questions even the ones I had already asked. 2 1/2 months later baby went home, at home I called to make an appointment with the pediatrician I had chosen for her to my surprise that pediatrician did not want to see her because she has "feeding issued-history". As a FTM and mom of a micro preemie the words Sorry we can't are the last I want to hear. They referred me The Children's Clinic which after asking what insurance I had (PPO) they said they didn't take my insurance only HMO and medical, I was devasted. Our Hospital Social Worker called me that same day to check up on us and I told her what was going on she immediately made some called and referred me to Dr.Mendoza, I did not know it was the same doctor from the NICU. When I saw him walk through the door my heart lit up with greatfulness. Dr. Mendoza has patience for the 100 questions I have every time I see him he really cares about his patients and takes his time examining them he makes me feel comfortable taking my miracle baby to his office and the staff is very friendly and approachable. I defenetly recommend Dr. Mendoza. read more
