  • Dr Bender is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and can explain everything in terms we understand. Our daughter (8) loves to see Dr Bender! It makes stressful appointments less stressful.

  • In light of my son’s diagnosis and his primary nephrologists passing, Dr. Bender has done such an amazing job of addressing my concerns as well as making sure that his treatment is not lost in the mix of all the changes. His condition has been extremely complex, but she has always taken the time and care to make sure everything that can be done is done to help him heal. I don’t know what I would’ve done without Dr, Bender and the care team at St. Luke’s.
