Ease of scheduling due to contacting PSR at Mentor medical office NOT centralized scheduling!The gentleman at Mentor office was very courteous and assisted in getting a prompt appointment with Dr. Rex. I really appreciated that due to increased shoulder pain!

Dr Rex really listened to me and I really appreciate her caring approach. She was very thorough in her assessment of my shoulder issues and informative. I also appreciated being able to receive a shoulder injection during my visit instead of having to come for another visit.

Dr. Rex was very brief , did not give me time to discuss my problem, and did not explain her decisions. I was very disappointed with her. I felt like she had a timer in her pocket that was about to go off.

Could not have asked for a better physician. Very nice, professional and the needle in my knee did not hurt at all. Dr. Rex asked a lot of questions about my knees and suggested a follow-up to verify her prognosis. 10 out of 10

Both the nurse in the office and the doctor were careful to go through the drill of verifying name, birthdate, what I was there for, etc. While this can be irritating if you have lots of office visits, it IS good for quality control to prevent any mistakes. The visit was efficient and went well and I got good follow-up information for home.

I have had no problem with getting an appointment, having my emails responded to before 24 hours, many times within 1-5 hours; Dr. Rex explained stuff to me and helped with various treatments to get to the root cause of my problem, including scheduling an MRI. She is awesome, patient, understanding, and easy to talk to...along with her staff. All are welcoming, humorous, and friendly.
