Dr. Madhavi Nitin Maniar, MD

My adivce is NOT to go to this doctor!! Her staff was so rude and disorganized! She had no bedside manners either. The wait was 30 minutes and the waiting room was dirty! Overall, not good!! I changed doctors immediately.

My comments about Dr. Maniar are the unfortunate result of what I like to refer to as "typical" doctor syndrome. Her limited knowledge of - not medicine - but of ails and their treatments and the human body as one composite organism, is a failing of many modern physicians. Until a few years ago, Dr. Maniar was the one and only physician I knew from infancy. Every thing I dealt with, from my bout of bronchitis that lasted the first 11 years of life, to the chicken pox and beyond, I saw her for. To my dismay, as I reflect back on what my parents who knew nothing of medicine and alternative treatments allowed, I was overmedicated with antibiotics (particularly Amoxicillin), and I am paying for it down to this day. Every cough, sneeze, twitch or move in the wrong direction meant a trip to Dr. Maniar that resulted in still more antibiotics. Dr. Maniar was.. is a nice woman. But she does not listen to her patients or their parents, and she does not venture beyond the scope of what I would… refer to as "the basics". The day I went into her office and dealth with her PA I realized how I had been robbed over the years. Not only did her PA treat me with more dignity, kindness and payed great attention to what I had to say. She suggested other, less invasive and less clinical methods I could pursue to alleviate my ails and get rid of some of the concerns I had about other aspects of my health. As a person, I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Maniar. She started off as an inner-city physician, who I believe is unknowingly exploiting the underprivileged and uninformed. She should give real thought to how she is ruining young children's health, giving them antibiotics when their affliction is viral.. It is a shame, a shame that she bears only partial responsibility in, and parents need to be informed.
