OVERVIEW

Michael J. Monzel, MD, joined HSPB in 2007. Board certified in gastroenterology, he has practiced for 24 years in Lewiston, Maine prior to moving to Florida. While in Maine he cofounded one of the largest regional referral gastroenterology practices in Northern New England. He founded one of Maine's largest chronic liver disease treatment clinics and subspecialized in therapeutic endoscopy. He was director of the endoscopy department at Central Maine Medical Center for 15 years. He served as President of the Maine Gastroenterology Society and was an advocate for physician and nursing education. Recent research interests included outcomes in screening colonoscopy and outcomes in community based treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Dr. Monzel graduated from Marietta College with a bachelor's degree in biology and was awarded membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Medical education was completed at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio where he was awarded membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society.

In 1980 he was awarded resident of the year honors at that institution. He spent two years in the US Public Health Service practicing in an Appalachian community bridging his internal medicine residency and gastroenterology fellowship. A prime reason for moving to Florida was the opportunity to participate in a practice which focuses on acute care gastroenterology and hepatology as well as the opportunity to participate in the internal medicine residency training program at JFK Medical center. His practice is based at Palms West Hospital. Professional interests include therapeutic endoscopy and chronic liver disease. He has expertise in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, colonoscopy, ERCP , and liver biopsy performance and has performed several thousand of each of these procedures.

"This review is not targeting the doctor but rather his staff (although may be because of his instructions). I had a serious issue that required me to meet the doctor on a short notice. A nurse said doctor is not in that day and suggested to go to the emergency room which I did. They told me at the ER to immediately see my Gastroenterologist the next day. When I called the next day, while still having serious issues, another nurse (jennifer??) will not honor the HCA website on-line appointment that I made the night before and said the doctor can see me in more than 30 days of the day we spoke. I explained that my condition may cause serious percussions and even blood poisoning. However, she was very rude and will not allow me to see the doctor. She said" you haven't seen this doctor in almost a year ( as if I have a contract to see the doctor even when I am well). What is the use of having a doctor if a patient cannot see them when under emergency? I I was very disappointed and will look ...
for another doctor. "

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
