About Me
Dr. Raul Mendoza began practicing as a cardiologist in 1990 and joined Mount Sinai South Nassau in the same year. After completing his undergraduate studies at LaSalle University in Mexico, Dr. Mendoza earned his medical degree from National Autonomous University of Mexico.

As a double board certified physician by the American Board of Internal Medicine in both Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease, Dr. Mendoza sees patients for all aspects of adult cardiology. Additionally, Dr. Mendoza is bilingual and can communicate with patients in English and Spanish.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
Dr. Mendoza was familiar with the Lumbar Spine surgery I was seeking Cardiac clearance for and provided detailed information as to what I could expect and the proper way to recover from the procedure based on his personal experience. It was amazing and informative visit totally relevant to my situation. I'm very fortunate to have had him in this process.
Dr. Mendoza is friendly. But caring and follow up with request. Very poor.
Very good
Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Mendoza has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
