Patient Reviews

Patient

I set the appointment needing two specific tests which was explained prior to arriving and at the time the appointment was set. Upon speaking to Mangla regarding my specific condition and offering literature due to it's rarity, he was dismissive and refused to shut up and listen while trying to man-splain over me while I was telling him WHY I needed the specific two tests. One being for a base-line for a degenerative disease and the other which is a comorbidity of the rare disease mentioned above. I told him I would do the tests he wanted but I also needed the tests I was there to get. He kicked me out of the office and said he "had sick patients to deal with". The lack of professionalism is astounding especially since when asked if he knew anything about the rare condition I have he said he did and that a different doctor (which he named) sees those patience. That was a lie. Amazed at the arrogance. UPDATE: After having received a response to my review an entire year later and the responder using the word "misconception" as defined as an erroneous conception; mistaken notion and then lying saying they tried to contact a primary care doctor (which I do not have because my insurance does not require it) after refusing to even look at the documentation I mentioned in my initial review which included the specialists diagnoses and contact information as well as thewhite papers for treating said rare diseases as well as having been treated so disrespectfully I do not accept your half-assed apology and your rating stands.

I had an appointment at the office today at 10 o'clock. I was told to arrive at 9:45 to fill out paperwork which I did when I arrived. The receptionist at the desk said that the doctor wasn't there and I was disappointed but since I had already driven an hour, I agreed to see the nurse practitioner. At 11 o'clock I went up and asked the receptionist when I was going to be seen because it was already an hour past my appointment time. I told basically I wasn't their only patient and they were looking for a room for me. Several people that came in after me had been seen and already out the door. Why they were looking for a room for someone that had a 10 o'clock appointment and it was 11 o'clock. She was extremely rude and very unprofessional. I suspect since I was seeing the nurse practitioner because the doctor wasn't there she was squeezing me in among other patients, and I was going behind patients that were scheduled after me. When I was taken back at 11:30 the young lady that did my vitals and went over my records was very nice knowledgeable and professional. Then the nurse practitioner came in and he was great but if I had to base my experience on first impressions when I walked through the door, I would never go back, because I had such a good experience with the other two. I am very happy, but not looking forward to having to deal with that receptionist again. The only reason I gave a one star was not because of the two professionals that I saw, but because of bad experience with the receptionist first impressions mean a lot and that was a very bad first impression

Patient

★★★★★

This doctor has been my cardiologist since 09. He has always been very thorough and professional yet very kind and friendly. His staff is always #1 because that's what he surrounds himself with and requires.

★★★★★

Dr. Mangla has been very conservative with my care. He won't do a procedure unless he truly believes it is necessary after trying medication first. He is very knowledgeable about all options and explains them patiently. I recommend him highly.

Very nice people. Good at their jobs and very accommodating with scheduling.
