About Us

MendWell is a place for surgery patients to learn how to optimize their experience and have the best recovery possible. While there is no shortage of medical research and publications created for medical professionals to give the best care, there is shockingly little content made specifically for patients to show up prepared for surgery. We are dedicated to creating easy-to-read, informative content for everyday people to face the challenge of surgery.
