HORRIBLE TREATMENT and OUTCOME from work of MANISH SHAH..., Feb 29, 2012 IMY OPINION? I was DAMAGED FOR LIFE by this urologist. He did a failed prostae microwaving on me followed by 3 failed TURP or transurethral prostae operations. I not only was not fixed, as I had been assured I would be, I was not warned of the posible damage that could result that has been horrible and is going to be life long. I have nad to have 3 additional operations because of damage caused by his work. he used insulting language about my physical condition in the presence of his female nurse, who was laer my student and what I thought was being discussed in confidence with him DID NOT remain confidential. I filed charges against him and tookl him to court- know that what hapened to me could hapent you-- MY ADVICE? Never let him touch your and do NOT go to CLINICAL UROLOGY ASSOCIATES.. with offices in Gadsden,Boaz and Ft Payne Alabama |

Dr. Aldea Bamboozled Me, Don't Go to his practice!..., Jan 28, 2012 DO THESE THINGS BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO SURGERY WITH DR. ALDEA: 1) Ask for the refund policy before you pay ANYTHING. You might not be provided the refund policy after you've paid the deposit. There are many outs for him not to return money if the surgery doesn't happen. 2) Don't be fooled by the good reviews out there. Some sites allow surgeons to only display the good reviews and not the negative ones. 3) Research to see if there are any lawsuits filed against him first. My experience with Dr. Aldea was NOT pleasant. He showed up 1 hr late for my surgery. Many of the nursing staff at St. Francis commented that he's frequently late and his surgeries always run over (which means you'll pay much more in the end!) On the OR table we both learned I had an irregular heartbeat. Dr. Aldea canceled the surgery but agreed to do it later if cardiac clearance was obtained. I got clearance which said that my condition was benign and to proceed with surgery as planned, but he never was satisfied, he found every excuse in the book not to do it. He dodged my calls for months! I wanted to get specifics from him on what he needed from the cardiologist. He kept having his patient coordinators say the same vague thing, "Dr. Aldea needs to know the surgery is safe for you." No cardiologist in their right mind will write "safe" in a letter. They will only say low-high risk. BTW 2 cardiologists wrote that I was low risk for the surgery and at no higher risk than a person who didn't have an irregular heartbeat. After many unreturned calls from Dr. Aldea, I got upset and asked for the truth and a refund if he didn't want to operate. He responded and said that I was ungrateful and here's your refund minus $750 deposit and he said that I didn't want the surgery. I responded that I did want the surgery but was tired of the run around and asked that he personally return a call so that we could clear up misunderstandings. His coordinator responded that he would not do the surgery until he got |

My family Refuses To See Her Again. Very Disagreeable!..., Jan 5, 2012 My family will not be seeing Dr. Shah again. If we had not researched her credentials after the fact, we would have sworn she was not even a doctor. She argued with us over refills for medicines that we take for diabetes and thyroid disease though we have taken these medicines to treat these illnesses for several years. She was very disagreeable about everything. It was so hard to deal with her that one of us just agreed with her about everything to keep from having arguments again so as to be able to leave her office promptly because the entire visit had been such an ordeal. We do not recommend her. |
