Dr. Michael Mangan, MD

I can’t even to begin to explain how awful he was. He was condescending and disrespectful. I was so uncomfortable and could not wait to leave his office. He should not be practicing medicine!

My regular doctor sent me for a routine colonoscopy as I am over 45. I provided familial information (father has polyps but genetic testing showed no genetic link) as well as the medicines and supplements I take (including iron for heavy periods). Dr. Mangan has not allowed me to see my colonoscopy results but I was told via phone that I had a few hyperplastic polyps (low cancer risk, considered normal). However, I was told that I need to come back for a colonoscopy in only 2 years and that I should do an upper endoscopy for celiacs because I take iron supplements. I consented to the bloodwork which showed no celiac antibodies and a normal iron level and chose not to consent to the upper endoscopy. Dr. Mangan has sent two or three letters to my home (copying my regular doctor) wanting me to consent to testing I already refused.

This is the grumpiest doctor I've ever met. He has the bedside manner of a testy old house cat; and maybe its time he reevaluate why he became a physician or work in a lab where he doesn't come into contact with patients who truly need his help. I would not with a good conscience refer any of my friends or colleagues to him as I'm sure there MUST be friendlier physicians in his group.

did not listen to anything i had to say, didn’t care to offer me help for my disease. kept trying to leave the room before i could even ask my questions.

Very impatient, started walking out the door while asking him questions and he stood with his foot holding the door open while rushing through the answers. I'm pretty sure there's a good case against them for predatory billing, will find out for sure Tuesday, March 24.

I’ve been struggling with IBSD for nearly 10 years and finally decided to see a specialist and went to see Dr. Mangan. When I discussed all the treatment options I’ve tried and found no results, he insisted that over the counter anti-diarrhea pills would work while I assured him they had stopped working for me for some time. He treated me as if I was a child (I’m a younger looking 24 yo) and berated me saying that the OTC medication would work if I took it. He dismissed my chronic diarrhea after EVERYTHING I ATE and brushed it off as if I was crazy. While I can no way peer into his pea sized brain, I would imagine one might find sexism, ageism and an inferiority complex the size of Texas. This man shouldn’t be allowed to practice medicine, as my mother said, anyone who would voluntarily shove cameras up buttholes certainly has more than a few things wrong with them.

He's knowledgeable and knows his information. However he's not very patient. Doesn't really allow the patients to get all the answers they're looking for. Doesn't express what he thinks the problem is with the patient's symptoms which can get a little frustrating if you're a worried patient. He clearly knows his material but he's just not helpful in explaining the issues to his patients and just says to wait for test results.

He is kind and knowledgeable, and allows the patient time to discuss issues. Great bedside manner.
