Recommended Doctor
Robert Richard BENDT MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - Tennessee Clarksville

I saw Dr. Bendt after seeing numerous doctors for pelvic pain. His staff was kind and also made you feel that you could ask them questions. It was a very welcoming office. I had found out over a year ago during a tubal ligation that I had endometriosis and adenomyosis. I had horrible chronic pelvic pain that not only interfered with my daily activity and my ability to be the parent I wanted to be to my children, but also with my ability to be intimate with my husband. He listened to all the treatments I went through, gave me my options and then not only listened to my thoughts and fears but took the time to discuss them with me. I told him how I had been told to just "deal with it" previously and he explained that that was unacceptable, he actually wanted to improve my quality of life. I decided that a TAH/BSO was my best option and he carefully explained the pros and cons and the procedure and risks.

During my pre op appointment he answered all mine and my husbands questions. He explained everything and made sure we understood, he is not one of those doctors that rushed out of the room or makes you feel like a burden, he WANTS you to ask questions.

My surgery went great. I went in on a Tuesday and when he met with up in the pre-op area he helped both of us relax. He had a smile and was so positive, he reminded us of how much better I would feel. He made sure to come in and talk to us after the procedure, making sure we knew how well things went. I left Thursday and by my one week check I was in less pain then I had been in years.

During my post op check his staff was so very kind, answering questions and being patient with all my concerns. I still have more post op checks coming but am very confident that everything is going to keep going smoothly.

Nowadays it is so rare to find not only a thorough, kind doctor but also a wonderful office staff. I have recommended him to many of my friends and will continue to do so. When you deal with chronic pain you realize how important bed side manner is. Dr. Bendt and his staff are a 10 in every way.
