Excellent job repairing my shoulder. Thank you!
First visit with Dr Manifold, and very happy with my visit. What I have found, it that the Dr's in this practice actually listen to their patients! Give suggestions and options. Dr Manifold was no different, and I would recommend to anyone in need of an orthopedist!
Awesome experiece. He has the understanding of the pain you are experiencing and explains your issues.
He listens to what you have to say and genuinely feels badly when he cannot help
He is an excellent Dr! In less than 3 Yrs he as given me 2 total knee replacements and I couldn’t be happier.
Very nice and professional.
Very courteous and professional!
I have seen Dr. Manifold for several problems, excellent experience and recovery success every time. Will always choose him!
Great doctor very caring easy to talk to explains everything to you. Before you have surgery.
He is a very kind and considerate Dr. I've had 2 surgery's done by him and they turned out good I wouldn't go to anyone else for my surgeries
