From the moment that I entered the office, every interaction with the staff was warm and accommodating.

Dr. Bender performed a rhinoplasty and septoplasty on my nose and from start to finish Dr. Bender and her team have been fantastic and very professional, putting me at ease throughout the process and I could not be happier with my results. I have never breathed so well in my entire life and I also feel it has reduced anxiety I had due to shortness of breath. Aesthetically, the appearance of my nose is much improved too which gives me confidence going forward in my life. I can’t recommend Dr. Bender and her team enough and will be forever grateful for the improvement on my nose and breathing.

Dr. Bender is excellent. I have a problem with the bones in my dose due to [an] accident and I am not sure that surgery can be done but she is superb in her giandosis and what we can try as surgery may not be advisable. She will take time with ou and explain. I give her 5 stars.

Dr. Bender…performed a septoplasty and functional rhinoplasty. I did not even know how much my breathing was impacted until after surgery! WOW why did I wait so long is all I ask myself. Dr. Bender is wonderful-she took time, answered all of my questions before and after with the follow up appointments. Her attention to detail is superb! If you are looking to have any facial plastic surgery, go with Dr. Melissa Bender!!

I highly recommend Dr. Bender. She removed a cyst above my left eye. Her manner was very calm and professional. She kept me informed of what she was doing and why during each step of the procedure. Her post procedure instructions were clearly explained and she provided a written copy as well. Overall, an excellent experience.

Dr. Bender took such great care during our daughter’s procedure and we cannot thank her and her staff enough.

My son and I were both nervous…any procedure small or large on the face is scary. Dr. Bender and her staff were calm, excellent demeanor, honestly answered all of my teenagers questions and made sure we were both ok. Thank you all so very much!
