Professional and personable-explained all procedures and listened to patient’s concerns and questions- pain management was addressed when more was needed
Very nice listened about my problem gave me some solutions and a shot I did not feel.
Dr. Manifold provided me with great care before, during, and after surgery. He answered all my questions and made the experience stress-free and even enjoyable because of the friendliness and concern that he and his staff showed me!
He’s very patient and isn’t in a rush. He has an amazing bed side manner that is rare.
Felt somewhat rushed through the appointment, by both the aide and the doctor. They were pleasant, but seemed in a hurry.
Didn’t see him, but his assistant was great.
Extremely attentive with excellent bedside manner. Actually listens to my concerns and answered all questions with kindness and understanding.
Very thorough and informative
Excellent service
A outstanding doctor
