My son is literally fighting for his life after Dr Mendeszoon preformed surgery on my sons foot. After my son had a surgery by Dr. Mendeszoon his stitches looked horrible and soon after the foot became infected. So Dr. Mendeszoon did another surgery to remove the infection that failed and the infection continued to get worse. He did everything in his power to stop us from seeing another doctor. He said not to take my son to the hospital that the medication he prescribed would work but it didn't. He lied and said an IV wasn't needed but now my son has a IV going directly into his heart. My son is now infected with several different bacteria including MRSA and the infection has turned into sepsis and he might loose his whole foot. Don't let Dr Mendeszoon touch your feet!
