Dr. Manish Damani, MD

Why do folks leave the same reviews and complaints for the last several years, having the same thing complaints years apart, need to find a better doctor or specialist who is better and more qualified, and yet this guys is still seeing patients and licensed? Its a disgrace that clearly aren’t evaluated. Imagine what happens when educators have parents call and compolain, test scores are poor, and multiple complaints..they get put on an action plan and either become a better teacher or get fired. This is a disgrace and there is proof that he is not fit for this position. I wish I got my 80 dollars back and time. This review is a waste of my time because clearly no one has looked him up on google and have seen that 90% of his reviews are so bad Would love to hear a response from someone that is high up and help save folks from a bad doctor and a waste of time.

If you and your partner and trying to get answers regarding male infertility or plan on doing IVF… STAY AWAY. Serious lack of knowledge regarding male infertility. Dismissed valid concerns and did not even order any lab work for my husband who is clearly struggling with infertility and hormone imbalances. Dr. Damani told him to return in 6 months after cutting out protein from his diet. He made no attempts to help my husbands fertility and only made comments such as “this is just Gods plan”. Not sure how a “ferility expert” can make these statements so soon prior to running any tests. PLEASE don’t waste your time. Not sure he has the knowledge regarding male infertility if he continues to dismiss questions or put off needed tests or surgeries.

Truly a doctor that cares more about a paycheck than patient care. My husband was referred by our fertility doctor due to poor outcome in ivf for defragmentation and vericocele. Dr. Damani spent a maximum of five minutes with my husband, felt around two seconds to dismiss my husbands questions and concerns and tell him you’re all good and sent him on the way with no labs or ultrasound. 2 years later and 2nd round ivf unsuccessful. My husband was sent for second opinion with another urologist. Tests were actually ran, ultrasounds done.. both defragmentation and double vericoceles found… dr damani wasted our time, our money and delayed our family due to not taking care of the issue that was presented by our embryologist and fertility doctor as main source of our fertility issue. On to a 3rd ivf cycle with scheduled surgery for my husband to fix what damani should’ve have done to begin with.

Dr. Damani was non-responsive most of the time and rude/dismissive when he (or his team) did respond. I have never received worse health care.He was late to our appointment, did not answer any of my questions or concerns, and was (upon getting second opinions) was grossly un-educated on the issue I am dealing with -- I am luckily receiving care from an actually educated provider now and my symptoms are improving.

Semen analysis revealed male factor fertility issues. We were referred to Dr. Damani who, within two minutes of the appointment, claimed I had a Varicocele and highly recommended a surgery to repair it. We chose to trust him, which was a big mistake. Surgery resulted in no change to semen quality and set us back 6 months on our fertility journey. Not to mention that the recovery was BRUTAL. Now, one year later, I have acute pain in my scrotum where the repair was performed. Had an ultrasound done and it revealed that I have two Varicoceles and the site of the one Dr. Damani "repaired" still has open veins, along with a blood clot, scar tissue and inflammation. It's been 12 months and I can't run, jump rope, or even spin for more than 30 minutes. Messaged Dr. Damani about it and he recommended another repair. If you're struggling to conceive, skip the Varicocele repair and jump into IUI or IVF.

I highly recommend avoiding Dr. Damani if you’re navigating any fertility issues. We were referred to him for a semen analysis, and couldn’t have been more disappointed with his lack of professionalism and empathy. He maybe spent a total of 6 minutes with us, after waiting 3 months to see him. During the appointment he chalked our fertility issues up to dietary choices, despite struggling to conceive for over a year. He made extreme statements such as “God intended for us to reproduce naturally” and told us that dietary choices (like drinking electrolytes) were ruining our chances of becoming pregnant. Mind you, we are a young, active, and healthy couple. While I agree with living a healthy lifestyle, his approach is extreme and opinionated, hardly rooted in facts. He places blame for infertility on his patients. Dr. Damani clearly has an agenda and his personal beliefs impact his ability practice ethically. Had we read reviews prior to seeing him, we would have saved time and money.

I went to visit Manish Damani 1 yr ago, and had a terrible experience . I wasn't going to say anything but I had two friends that had the same experience, so I need to speak out. I come from a family of physicians. My visit with him last all of 5 minutes. I went to go see him because my wife and I were trying to get pregnant and I was doing a semen analysis. My results from my semen sample all came back normal. He asked me if I drink or smoke, and I told him I have a few drinks a week and that I very occasionally use Marijuana. He immediately got up and said that if I don't cut that out we will never get pregnant. He judged my lifestyle and asked me some very judgmental questions, questioning my priorities in life. He also told me that every hit I take would set us back 3 months. He then told me to cut that crap out and left the room. I hope he hears that we are now about to have a baby, and I never cut back. His analysis had zero data or facts to support. Don't go see him.

Would not recommend Dr. Damani for prostate issues. Pushed for 12 needle biopsy and was not willing to consider a PET-MRI or PSMA prior to biopsy. Was not familiar with the Prostate Cancer Research Institute and told me to stay off the internet.

Similar to another reviewer, Dr. Damani rushed to tell me I needed varicocele surgery after a 3 minute consult for a screening related to infertility. His office was no help in determining if my insurance would cover the procedure or if my claim would be rejected and I’d have to pay a higher amount out of pocket, pressuring me to just paying the reduced rate with cash and not trying insurance. Maybe pure luck, maybe a misdiagnosis, but I just celebrated the one year birthday of my daughter, who was conceived before I could get to my scheduled surgery date. Leaving this review to encourage others in a similar position to not rush to surgery and explore their situation.

AlI would not recommend Dr. Damani as someone to go see if you have issues with sperm / fertility. He pushes extremely hard and fast towards surgery (varicocele) as a first resort without additional labs and/or testing. Immediately upon my visit, he reviewed my lab results (which looked bad), did a quick check of varicocele and from then on was 100% on the surgery track, no questions asked. He pushed me to schedule a varicocelectomy (earliest 3 months out) and figure out if it's covered or pay the fee up front. Needless to say I was shocked, but decided to reach out to others in the fertility area in the meantime. I eventually got a 2nd opinion at UNC Fertility, and had 2 more labs and bloodwork done, all of which came back NORMAL. I wish Dr. Damani would've taken the same care and thoughtful approach, I wouldn't have had to go through so many others to find out the truth, that I didn't need surgery in the first place.

Highly recommend Dr. Damani. He has excellent bedside manners, took time to answer all my questions without seeming rushed, though I'm sure he has a full schedule. Dr. Damani explained everything in as much detail as I wanted. He helped me while seeking issues with fertility as well as with a vasectomy after having our 3 children. I have been a registered nurse my entire career and can state without a doubt Dr. Damani is a true professional in his field. I recommend him to all my friends.

Dr. Manish was extremely proficient with my procedure and I could not have been more comfortable with him. I always appreciate any professional whom is highly skilled with their work. He was direct enough with me, yet very respectful. I will seek his services again if needed and I highly recommend him!

Awesome Dr.!! He and his staff are so professional and personal and treated me as if I were family!!. I feel at ease with this Doctor. He truly cares about my health! I'm a new patient with him and I definitely am going to keep him as my urologist from here on out! F. Bulvgari

Greatest doctor on planet Earth! Retired cop, Marine, and Dr. D has been my urologist for over the last 6 years. Early detected several severe problems I had experienced, and has provided me with exceptional followup and preventive care. He's very up close and personal and even though I only see him now on a yearly basis, each visit is just like I was there only yesterday. This is a very real review, of a person who has gone beyond every thing I would have expected from a doctor. SemperFi!

I have been going to Dr Damani with serious issues for almost a decade now. He has taken excellent care of me, and manages my diagnosis, and is even willing to fight insurance for the right medicine for me!!

If it weren't for Dr. Damani, I wouldn't have twin boys. Dr. Damani has extensive knowledge on congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens. He is an amazing Urologist and highly recommended. Surgery went smoothly and his personality is what makes him stand out from other physicians. Highly recommend!
