I have complete confidence in his judgment as my orthopedic surgeon, and I’ve known many when I lived in the Philadelphia area.
Dr. Manifold is always professional and accurate with his findings. I would recommend him to anyone for shoulder surgery anytime.
He took goog care of me.
My first visit and he was easy to talk to and questions answered. He was very thorough.
He is the best. Recomend him highly. Surgery on shoulder and knee went as planned. Office visits clears up any questions I have. I am 3 weeks out and improving. This is a long road to recovery.
Doctor Manifold is the best in his profession. His knowledge, skill, and direct approach is second to none.
Always professional and listening to my concerns
Always attentive and listens to what you have to say.
Felt so relaxed. He is personally attentive and actually listens . Love him and he is doing my knee with no fear. Thanks you for bringing real. Positive experience all around .
Dr Manifold is very pleasant along with his staff.
