You can use some thing like this:

var userDB user
objectIDS, _ := primitive.ObjectIDFromHex(userID)
collectionUser := dBClient.Database("MyDatabase").Collection("Users")
filter := bson.M{"_id": objectIDS}
err := collectionUser.FindOne(ctx, filter).Decode(&userDB)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("errror retrieving user userid : " + userID)
}
