I had hernia repair by this doctor. Have been having problems with discomfort in the area along with nausea for over 2 years. By viewing recent c-scan with contrast on bladder and kidneys by my urologist Dr.was able to view and stated hernia with mesh was in tact and could not provide any solution or referral to any other Dr. That may help with my symptoms. His response left me on my own to find an answer!! He had no answer or referral suggestions. I was surprised because I have alot of respect for Dr. Malgeri ,but due to all the publicity about the failure of hernia meshes I expected some response which I did not bring up which I should have but felt it was his responsibility to reassure me the mesh used was safe. I am not sure with all my nausea ,discomfort etc that maybe the mesh is partially or fully responsible for my symptoms. All I got was "I don't know". I hate writing this kind of review. I have been a patient for over 30 years and never wrote about a bad experience, could have but never did,I just changed doctors!

Dr. Malgieri is the primary reason I come to Hillcrest for breast health. He gives his full attention to what the patient is saying or asking as opposed to ignoring the patient and being engrossed with a computer screen. When he enters the room he actually listens and answers. This is a rare attribute with some providers.
