Megan Jane Manthe's Online Review Report Card

Top notch, she did a full knee replacement on my fiance Mary, very professional, so happy, a year later and she's like robo lady now with that knee thank you Mercy and Dr Manthe♥️

From meeting her the first time, through the surgery. Now three weeks after the surgery. I couldn't be more satisfied with her and all the Mercy staff. I just left PT day twenty one after the surgery. I couldn't be more happy with my progress. I am completely happy with everything.

Great experience for having to have surgery. Dr. Manthe and her team were fantastic. I am very pleased with my hip. Hospital care was awesome also. I hope I dont need any any more surgery, but if I did, this is where I would come.

i am not impressed with Dr. Manthe. My knee replacement is okay but nothing to write home about. I had very little contact with Dr. Manthe. My recovery was excruciating. If it hadn't been for the hospitalists at Mercy Rehab Hospital I don't know what I would have done. I need to have my other knee replaced but I can assure you that Dr. Manthe will NOT be doing it!

Dr. Manthe did my total knee replacement a little over a year ago. I will have her do my other knee, hopefully later this year. She did a great job and the scar is barely visible.

Dr. Manthe performed both of my hip replacements. In addition, she performed a knee replacement for my business partner. I am 18 months out from surgery #1 and 12 months out for hip #2. I could not be happier. It has been a miracle for me and has had a major impact on my quality of life. My partner is equally happy with his knee replacement. If needed, we both agree we would travel to her new location to have procedures done by her again. It has been a huge loss to our community to have her move.

Manthe has the ability to command a room. It's easy to get caught up in her strong presence and confidence. At 51, needed L and R hip replacement. Unfortunately, the hip replacement surgeries Manthe did went poorly. Here are just some of the many challenges we experienced: 1) hip kept dislocating after surgery 2) office didn't call back the 1st time it happened for 24 hours & when they did call, they ...

Manthe has the ability to command a room. It's easy to get caught up in her strong presence and confidence. At 51, needed L and R hip replacement. Unfortunately, the hip replacement surgeries Manthe did went poorly. Here are just some of the many challenges we experienced: 1) hip kept dislocating after surgery 2) office didn't call back the 1st time it happened for 24 hours & when they did call, they said to come in and pick up refill for pain pills(no urgency & wrong remedy)...by then we had been to ER & it dislocated 2 more times. 3 days later had 2nd surgery on same hip to fix 3) Manthe indicated, after the 2nd surgery to fix the dislocation, she was "going to do some research on wether it was the best approach for this type of genetic hip issue." ...This "research" was something that we fully expected prior to the 1st hip replacement surgery, not following the 2nd to fix. 4) After 2nd surgery, went septic w/ blood infection. Not realizing it, 1st went to Drs office telling them something was very wrong (office is luckily steps from their hospital). Standing there declining with uncontrollable shakes, clearly confused and having trouble standing just 3 days after "the fix", Office Manager was apologetic & indicated they could schedule us the following week for a follow up. No one said "you need to go to the ER now"....luckily spouse met up in parking lot & insisted ER as 15 minutes later couldn't stand as 4 ER nurses began sepsis protocol as body began to have seizures with all over severe pain, fingers turned blue. Manthe came in ER 3 hours later, her overly confident self, indicating hips looked good & she's "done her job, leaving town and leaving it up to hospital o do theirs". 5) confirmed sepsis, called Manthe to alert her. Office indicated she knew but it now out of town. 6) We waited 7 more days until she could return into town to do "her job" and remove infected part from hip. 7) In the end, Manthe had left town to finalize her new job offer out of State, left no partner on call to take over doing her job after hearing her patient went septic and causing a 7 day delay in treatment (removing infected part) & a 10 day hospital stay...good for hospital billing, bad for AHCA outcomes. NOTE: 2 weeks later we were 1 of 3 patients who arrived for our 8 am appointment. All post op patients, being rescheduled as Manthe cancelled her day without having office call patients. She left town again ( 2 months later patients received a letter she took a job out of State). Sadly, those patients were 15 months and 13 months post op stating they were still having issues since surgery. BOTTOM LINE: We liked Manthe and so disappointed in this experience. Her over confidence is getting in the way of successful outcomes. She's a natural, persuasive, dynamic person and she may want to downplay selling / watch out for over promising. Also, when necessary as for any physician, brush up on research prior to a surgery as no patient needs to hear you are doing it after surgery.

I went to her with a broken wrist. By the time I realized it was not right and went to a wrist specialist. there was nothing that could be done. He said it was absolutely terrible and he doesn't understand how it happens. It is my dominate hand and I can no longer do a lot of activities that I used to enjoy.

Dr Manthe speaks with a commanding, passionate, firm resolve, which is comforting at 1st. 5 months hips post op, there were continued, significant problems including hip dislocation. I recognized she began to minimize the issues, contradict other Drs (from the hospital stay) and refusal to own up to her error in her approach with surgeries. Just as significant is the lack of urgency when things when wrong from both the staff and Manthe. Manthe didn't show up for her appointments 1 day. As we stood in line with 3 people to reschedule appointments, All 3 were complaining they had hip issues. One was 15 months post op. The Dr didn't show up, as she was out of town but didn't call & alert any of her patients. Perhaps Manthe has good results with a straight forward surgery. However, if there are any complications, she seems to lack the ability to address the complications, shows a lack of urgency & dodges the truth. 5 moths post op still struggling dealing w popping both hips/pain in 1.
