Upon entering Dr. Vogels office, one can see immediately what kind of a doctor he and his wife are…read more
Literally every square inch of the walls and plexiglass partitions are covered with "DON'T DO THIS" and "DON'T DO THAT".
Threats everywhere.
I walked in for neuralgia issues on my face, massive scabs covering most of my face, and severe pain.
The first question? "Have you tried a TENS unit on your face and head?"
um..."where would I attach the pads? The pads won't stick to the scabs nor the hair..."
These insipid, irrelevant questions were asked AFTER we'd sat in the waiting room for two hours. Vogel is always overbooked, and his waiting room can't hold everyone. It smells very bad, like it's never been cleaned. Butt sweat and foot odor occupy the room like a pall of pollution.
Vogel's arrogance supercedes his knowledge by a fair amount.
He put me on questionable meds, and when I questioned them, he lost his temper and practically threw me out of the room.
I explained the meds were causing prostate issues and he claimed that was "impossible." He unnecessarily referred me to a urologist who barely did anything except hit us with a large bill. His response to my issue? "When you stop that med, the issue will go away. I cannot speak poorly of another doctor, but I'll tell you you're correct and he's wrong."
Vogel on the other hand, trashed the urologist. He insisted the medication wasn't causing the secondary problem, and told me to get used to the med, because "You'll likely be on this for the rest of your life." (I've been off it for three months now, no issues).
His office claimed one day, that they'd called me to move my appointment. We showed up on time and were told they'd called. I had received no call, and the call log on my cell proved it. His office essentially called me a liar, and indicated MY PHONE call logs were wrong.
Vogel made some smart-ass comment about "if you'd answer your phone, you'd know what time to show up."
He also was dishonest from the jump about the meds.
I'd had enough of his Swiss-German BS arrogance and narcissism, so looked for another doctor. Meanwhile, his office called and said they again had to move my upcoming appointment. They actually reached my phone, but the date they left had occurred three days previously. We called several times, but were unable to secure an appointment after they canceled one.
Turns out, Vogel had "fired us" as patients, because of my complaint about the two hour wait times, and the obnoxiousness of the staff.
Vogal may have received the title of "DOCTOR," but he's closer to Dr. Suess in ability, and closer to Dr. NO in terms of human decency.
BTW, my urology issues cleared as soon as i stopped the questionable medication Vogel put me on. I did not need to continue the medication, and I'm now entirely medication-free, something Vogel insisted several times, that I could not do.
This guy is not trustworthy in my opinion. In my opinion, he belongs in Eastern Europe, where bedside manner, talent, and human decency matter less than here in America.
Why pay a doctor to treat you like you're the scum on the bottom of his shoe?
Trust Jason N and SS I's reviews. The others are likely paid reviews.
