Dr. Mark Vogel, MD

My father-in-law was a patient of Dr. Vogel's. Dr. Vogel told us when my father-in-law had a catheter that there was absolutely no way to prevent infections caused by the catheter use. Later, I learned that studies have been ongoing since 2005 that show that the use of a checklist can drastically reduce UTI and other catheter related infections. Meanwhile, my dear father-in-law was check list free and getting what we thought were unavoidable and endless UTI's that drastically lowered the quality and duration of the end of his life. It is disappointing to trust a doctor and find out that what they are telling you is the opposite of the truth. Also, as a side note, the wait times in the waiting room were ridiculous.

If I could give him 10 stars I would. Dr. Vogel is a class act. A very caring doctor who goes above and beyond. He was the on-call doctor in the emergency room at Cedar Sinai when I went in for a lacerated kidney and he did everything he could to make me feel comfortable. What was remarkable, was his follow up care. He was not on my insurance, but made sure I was taken care of every step of the way, and ultimately he was the only one who could remove my stent quickly and painlessly. Huge kudos!
