Mandiberg Joseph J MD

I’ve seen Dr. Mandiberg for knees, and my dad has seen him for Back issues. His recommendations and treatment are sound. Reviewers that don’t like his personality can go find someone else and fly a kite.

A friend suggested I see Dr. Mandiberg for my knee. I recognized the name after having worked in hospitals for more than 25 years. I called to make an appointment which didn’t work out, so I had to reschedule.
When I came into see him, he introduced himself and began to talk about my case. After about 10 minutes, he said, :“I don’t do surgery anymore, this is only consultation. I’m going to have you go down the hall and schedule with Dr. Hoff.” I was stunned. Not ONE of his staff told me he didn’t perform surgery any longer. I simply wouldn’t have wasted my time and money. It is a direct bait & switch tactic they use to lure people into his office so he can make money. They had a direct responsibility to tell all patients calling he no longer does surgery.
His bedside manner is curt and rough. He is over retirement age. He told me to go down the hall and make an appt with this other doctor who I didn’t know or have any information on. (on a sidenote, Dr. Hoff, who is also at retirement age, has uncontrollable, serious tremors in his hands, which I witnessed when I actually went to see him. He shouldn’t be performing surgery on anyone.)
Here is the end to this disgusting ordeal: I have insurance that has my co-​pay. Somehow his staff found out that I still had a deductible to pay, so they had that $ 250 deductible on top of what Providence Health Plan is paying for the office visit. This was only a brief consultation. As a comparison, his was the third opinion I sought. None of the previous two physicians (and who do perform surgery) ever sought more than the standard co-​pay.
This clinic is full of dishonest, unprofessional people with a complete lack of ethical behavior. With a bloodlust for money.
DO NOT SEND YOUR FAMILY TO THIS PLACE. YOU WILL BE SORRY
