Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Hope you don’t get this Dr while at Grossmont Hosp
Dr. Medegar's clinical demeanor leaves much to be desired, with a notable absence of empathy and professionalism. His interactions with me, a female patient, and my ailing husband, both of Caucasian descent, have raised concerns of potential prejudice, be it rooted in racism or misogyny. Furthermore, while three other medical practitioners have collectively endorsed a specific course of treatment, Dr. Medegar staunchly opposes it. He claims to have initiated an order for the treatment he supports, yet forewarns of its probable non-execution due to staffing constraints. This situation has led to prolonged hospitalization as we await consensus among the medical team. Additionally, he has declined to synchronize my husband's discharge with the completion of his recommended treatment, compounding our frustrations

Not only just because he saved my life, he has everything to be a DOCTOR! Reliable attitude, determination, soul, knowledge, initiative , immediately understanding the patient’s differences. For so many things I can’t even count here he is definitely my number one off all, even, having doctor relatives myself!

Dr Mandegar took on my wife's treatment when she hospitalized from Covid very seriously in Intensive Care Unit. I remember how desperate we were then. However, with his wit, experience, knowledge and initiative Dr Mandegar was able to beat this evel disease and give my wife back me: Life or death; there's nothing more real than this!

Dr. Mandegar is an excellent doctor. He takes the time to listen, explain and answer questions regarding the care plan. He is very thorough and my family and I cannot express how grateful we are to have had Dr. Mandegar.
