Dr. Michael Mangelson, MD

Dr. Mangelson was fast, but he is so fast that he isn't thorough and he is shallow in his evaluations. I am still having issues, but he won't do more tests and recommended I see a nephrologist, even though the issue is more bladder related. He ordered a simple CT scan, and when that came back normal, he was done, even though I am still experiencing blood in my urine. My brother, who is a doctor, said he should have done a cystoscopy to see what the CT scan can not show. I am making an appointment with another urologist who will be more thorough and give me a full evaluation before sending me to another specialist. Save yourself the bother of going through this and start with another urologist who will take your issues seriously and get to the bottom of things.

This is my experience. Dr. Mangelson was overconfident in his abilities from the start. He failed to keep me locally anaesthetized throughout the entire surgery causing a lot of pain. The vasectomy took a little over 2 hours from start. He failed to find the vas deferens so he made an irreversible cut to the epididymis. One of the incisions is about 3 inches long because he was very invasive with the surgery taking out and reversing my testicle and making many cuts. All of this was done without consulting me at all. The stitches left were very messy and uneven. After the surgery he left immediately while the nurses continued cleaning me. We had to call him 2 hours later due to continued bleeding and he told me to meet him at a nearby ER. At the ER I learned he forgot to stitch one of the incisions and he said, "I don't know how that got there". Running out of characters so I'd like to say, I could not walk for 6 weeks and am still recovering 3 months later. Find a doctor that will care

Front office staff is completely rude and condescending. After a horrible 4 minute call with them, I decided to go to another provider.

Gives excellent time and attention to me. One time my urine was reddish blue. He got me right in, scoped me, and then I remembered I had eaten a quart of blueberries that morning. That's what made the urine go reddish blue! We laughed, but he has taken care of prostate removal, and kidney stones. Very attentive, and his bedside manner is outstanding.
