"Dr Bender is a pleasure to meet with, as she is super friendly, knowledgeable and thorough with her level of care! My elderly mother, who also sees her, feels well taken cared of. And so do I!"

"I had a toe that bent under the next toe. And I had a few questions. The assistant who saw me first said I could only ask the doctor about one issue even though I had a few questions. The dr said surgery right away... I cancelled the surgery and I keep getting emails encouraging the surgery??!?!?"
