I would like to warn other patients about my experience with Dr. Richard Shapiro. In my opinion,…read morethis doctor seems more focused on money than patient care. Please read every document very carefully before signing anything. Make sure you fully understand what procedures are being done and what you are being charged for. In my experience, the moment you question or disagree with the doctor, the relationship changes immediately. I felt that concerns were not handled professionally, and I was told very rudely that if I did not want to pay, I should find another doctor. The customer service was also very poor. I found the staff rude and disrespectful toward patients. Patients should ask questions, request copies of all paperwork, and keep records of everything. This review is based on my personal experience.

At the last visit he spent three minutes in the room with me. I was not able to ask questions. When I did his response was vague. I have an HMO insurance that was excepted in his office. However I started receiving bills. At the most recent visit he fully was aware that he needed an authorization. He never followed up and the billing was denied. His biller informed me I would have to pay for the labs and the office visit. She was uncooperative about resubmitting the claims and put it on me to argue with the insurance company. This a doctor in my opinion is clearly just interested in the money. His bill will never be paid out of my pocket for his fumble. Avoid this place.

Dr. Bellman has been my urologist since 2018 when I first began having problems with my prostate…read more Eventually, I couldn't go at all and my bladder filled to the breaking point. I called his offices and Christina heard the desperation in my voice and scheduled me in. A catheter was immediately inserted which saved me. Dr. Bellman began treating me for an enlarged prostate and eventually it was evident that I needed something more all encompassing and permanent. Dr. Bellman performed a "Rezum" procedure that changed everything. I was finally free of constant discomfort every day with poor flow. I finally felt "normal" which can make quite a difference regarding a persons quality of life. Fast forward four years. I moved from Woodland Hills to Maui, Hawaii. I was there a short time when I suddenly developed extreme pain in my urethra. It persisted for a week and then two. I called every urologist on the island and none wanted to see me. They just said to go to the emergency hospital. As the pain intensified, I finally called Dr. Bellman's office, and as before, Christina told me to come in. I got on the next plane and saw Dr. Bellman the next day. He immediately began a series of tests and ruled out a number of possible causes that really scared me. He then prescribed antibiotics. He treated me for the next seven days while the antibiotics took affect and prescribed medicines for me to take back to Hawaii. I fully recovered. Dr. Bellman is a knowledgeable, caring and compassionate man who is willing to take the time to help those in need. His staff is always courteous, kind and professional. Anyone in his care is in good hands and very lucky.

He may have 45 years experience, but it's quite clear he would rather be on a golf course or sandy beach rather than tending to patients. With that being said, I'm not sure why he isn't retired?! My first kidney stone surgery was a fail. It required another surgery in which the Dr and the staff at the hospital definitely had some personality issues and a lack to communicate. Long story short, it was the most chaotic experience I have ever endured and the day I was being discharged Dr Leff asked if they had removed my catheter?!!! Lack of communication led to NO cathiter and NO sleep! But, I can bet that I was charged for it!

He is patient, kind, thorough, incredibly knowledgeable and an expert in Urology & related. He took the time to answer all of my questions, i never felt rushed and went above and beyond to expedite the process from consultation through surgery & after care, which I deeply appreciated. Nurse Practitioner: Heather Smart was equally outstanding--thorough, knowledgeable and attentive. She took the time to address all of my concerns during my initial consultation and made me feel informed and comfortable every step of the way. Jenny at the front desk, Alex, and the entire staff were exceptionally kind, patient and professional. Everyone made me feel welcomed and cared for throughout my experience. They are all true rockstars and I cannot recommend this team highly enough. You will not be disappointed. Thank you all for your exceptional care and support! Much love & gratitude!

I asked if they are accepting Medicare. She said, "Yes, but need a secondary", which we do. She asked if it is PPO, and I said, "Yes". Then she said, you need a referral from a doctor". So I said, "What? We have PPO not HMO". Then she said, "We are so busy you need a referral". What the F? So, I said, "Thank you and goodbye".

Right in the middle of it, I turned 40. I noticed longer recovery times, more chronic pain. My wife and I navigated postpartum challenges, and as we looked deeper into these changes, I realized men's hormonal shifts are very real too. A "tough time" would be an understatement. Physically and mentally. Instead of trying traditional methods like SSRIs and their potential side effects, I looked into and decided I wanted to try TRT. After calling and visiting a few other TRT places in the area, The Man Clinic was exactly the thorough, no-nonsense team I needed. They got me in quickly, labs, and I was off and running. The X factor at this place: BIG shoutout to Eli, who helped me navigate some initial (user error) side effects. I called in with a few questions and concerns. He "met me where I was", answered all my questions and reassured me that my experience is typical and all would be well in short order. He was right. He KNOWS his $h!t. The thing that stuck with me... I called on a Friday, RIGHT at closing time, and he answered. But he then gave me a ring on Monday, just to see how I was feeling. He simply didn't have to do this. Class act. In addition to the Doc and the rest of the team, he solidified my staying with Man Clinic for these years, and they're lucky to have him. I feel like TMC is an ace up my sleeve. I felt compelled to write and share, because I can recall reading numerous reviews to help me decide where to start this journey. If that's you, you can breathe a sigh of relief and stop your search. They get it. And will take great care of you. I'm really glad I decided to start TRT, and grateful to have found The Man Clinic. Good luck, Gents.

I have to remind him of my medical history. In addition, just a few minutes into the visit, the office manager, repeatedly knocks on the door, urging him to wrap up every five minutes so he can see the next patient. That said, the front desk staff are always nice and friendly, which makes checking in and interacting with the office pleasant. Experiencing a doctor who is frequently late, unprepared, and rushed feels unprofessional and leaves me concerned about the quality of my care.
