I love Dr Alice Mendelson. If I can give her 10 stars, I would. She didn't rush me into getting my knee replacement surgery at all. She told me when I get ready to let her know. Well I let her know that I was ready. That was in March, 2019. I told her I would like to have my surgery in July. Dr Alice said okay. On July 2, 2019, the surgery went great to my surprise I had little pain on Day two. I was walking around my apartment complex with my therapist on day six without a walker. I really felt great, and I owe it all to Dr Alice Mendelson. Thank you for being such a great doctor and for being there for me. I would recommend Dr Alice and Mendelson Kornblum Orthopedics to everyone. Martha D..

I have been seeing an orthopedic surgeon for 2 years. Every-time I went for excruciating knee pain I was told I needed surgery and given an injection. Dr Alice is the only Dr who told me I have fluid in my knee and then extracted that fluid. I have been 75 % more mobile since then.

All of my experiences at the Mendelson building and my hip replacement at St Mary's hospital have been very good. It will be 5 weeks tomorrow with 3 weeks of therapy to go. I feel great. I highly recommend these people. Clarence

Dr. Alice is great, and I was happy she was able to see me so quickly. As a woman I think female dr's take my pain more seriously, and treat it accordingly. Very happy with my experience.

Dr Alice has helped to smooth over the unpleasant injuries i recently sustained. I trust her judgment and skill. Her staff is awesome and extremely friendly. Being in the position of having the surgery alone during COViD they made me feel safe and took care of any needs I had. Thank you!

I have been under the care of Mendelson Kornblum orthopedics and spine management for three years for various modalities. I highly recommend the expertise of Dr. Alice Mendelson, she takes the time to explain why pain is presenting in the knee and surrounding areas and explains what to expect after a knee injection - exactly what is contained in the injection itself. I want to spotlight .. Dr. Stephen Mendelson whom preformed a partial knee replacement - the best thing I could ever have done, damn you're good Doc! and Dr. Hall for her ongoing mending of my spine .. am fully satisfied with the care and compassion that is shown to me. Keep it up Docs and thank you for not just practicing medicine but getting it right!

I had agonizing pain in my right hip. Dr. Alice Mendelson did a procedure on my hip. I was able to walk out of the clinic with little or no pain. I will refer Dr. Alice Mendelson to my family and friends.

I always feel like I do matter when I have an appt with Dr Alice. She takes time to respond to my questions and thoroughly explains any procedure or situation, I feel she knows her stuff and I have improved under her care. Highly recommend!

An amazing experience! .All the staff were friendly and very efficient.The best part of this experience was having Dr.Alice Mendelson come in,and personally go over everything with me from reading the chart,checking my knees,to giving me the shot! After recent experiences with the "assembly line" process with perhaps a 3min rush in,rush out appearance by the Specialist, it meant a lot to me to see and talk to the doctor on my first visit.

First time seeing a specialist there. X-rays were done before seeing the doctor, didn't have to wait. The staff was warming and very nice. Dr. Alice Mendelson listened to me while I was explaining my chief complaint. Glad I chose that location.

Dr Alice and her staff made my osteo experiences with them so rewarding! Kindness, professionalism, and competency abound in their practice. I had 3 different problems, all resolved. 2 surgeries and even a rewarding experience with their OT therapist. I trust her with my well-being.

Wonderful scheduling process! The personal / professional atmosphere Dr Alice's team created for me melted my fear!
