Dr. Michael Alan Manbeck

Dr. Manbeck has never met with me in his office, I find this odd. He set up my procedures both upper and lower GI through a person in his office. He spoke with me both before and after these procedures - not the most ideal time for me to comprehend. The most disappointing for me was when he ordered a CT scan, then had a person in his office call me about results and who suggested I may need surgery. That is the kind of news one wants to hear directly from the doctor in the office while reviewing the test results. Fortunately, I went for a second opinion and a followup test revealed I have cancer. Later I requested a copy of the first CT scan from Dr. Manbeck in which I learned it also detected cancer. Had I relied on Dr. Manbeck to discuss the radiologists findings with me I never would have known I have cancer. He had an obligation to discuss the tests findings directly with me even if the results are not in his area of expertise. He should have referred me to a cancer doctor.

Very knowledgeable and personable. Always available. Reassuring and up front so you feel you know what is happening with your situation. Explains things in plain language and feels as if he cares about you.

This doctor could of cared less about my bleeding after my colonoscopy I ended up in the ER which I was scoped again and then basically told I was fine and sent on my way.. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone even his front desk staff was horrible.

I have been going to Dr. Manbeck for the past 5 years and can not imagine ever seeing anyone else.

Ended up in hospital for several days after a routine colonoscopy. Doctor removed too many polyps, causing internal bleeding.

It's doctors way or the highway. I wouldn't show up with any opinion concerning your own care. My vet gives more time to his patients.

My veterinarian provides better care! As an established patient at Michiana Gastroenterology I expected to receive kind, compassionate care when I became extremely ill. Instead, I received the opposite. I called Dr. Manbeck’s office and spoke with Amanda when I began to have abdominal pain accompanied by bloody diarrhea and vomiting. I called multiple times before my call was even returned. When it was, I was scheduled a gallbladder test for a week away and told that “it is a waste of time to see you until you have this test”. Despite multiple calls and pleas for assistance, my symptoms continued to worsen and due to the extreme amount of pain I was in, had to visit the ER, twice! After each ER visit I called and spoke with Amanda and asked her to convey to the doctor how seriously ill I was and how terrified I was. Despite my illness lasting almost 2 weeks, I never even received a call from my doctor and was not permitted to schedule an appointment. Each time I called I was made to feel as if I was an inconvenience and treated coldly. When I was finally ‘permitted’ to schedule an appointment with Dr. Manbeck, it was cancelled the day OF without my consent or even notifying me! My veterinarian provides better care!
