New Physician Cares for Patients of All Ages
|  |
Family Medicine
Specialist
"I had planned
to become an
adult internal
medicine
physician, but
while in training,
I realized that
I loved working with kids, too,"
Dr. Mangoba says. "I decided to
specialize in family medicine so I
could treat patients of all ages and
focus on helping them stay healthy.
One of the most rewarding parts of
my job is seeing patients take control
of their own health, whether that
means starting an exercise program
or reducing their dependence on daily
medications."
|  Luther Mangoba, M.D. |
A typical day for Dr. Mangoba includes performing checkups for children and adults, treating colds and minor injuries and helping patients manage diabetes, heart disease or other chronic conditions. He also refers patients to specialists and connects them with social and community services, like home health nursing. He aims to develop long-term relationships with patients and their families, and says he's proud to be the trusted professional his patients turn to first with their medical concerns.
Dr. Mangoba received his medical degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine and completed his internship and residency at Riverside County Regional Medical Center.
Losing Weight for
Better Health "Some people have an idea of
what they need to do to lose weight,
but they need specific advice and
someone to hold them accountable,"
Dr. Mangoba says. "We put patients
on a three-month plan that gives
them structure and the tools for
safe, healthy weight loss. We've
had patients who have lost up to
60 pounds and kept them off."
Care for the Whole Family
For many patients, getting healthy
involves losing weight. Luther
Mangoba, M.D., offers structured
weight-loss programs that help
patients learn how much they should
weigh and provides individualized
diet and exercise plans.
