Excellent care and treatment. Highly recommended.
Love that I don't have to wait for a long.Timing is always wonderful. If
I could not be more pleased with the reverse shoulder replacement procedure Dr. Manifold performed. Two weeks out and the shoulder is doing fine.
Amazing Dr
He done a great job and I’m completely satisfied,now it’s the long journey of physical therapy to get me back to my normal routine.Taking my time so he don’t have to go back and redo the surgery.But his work and follow up visit is well appreciated ,staff in the office are well mannered and they take their time with the questions and it shows they take their job seriously.Very professional
He’s direct, kind and caring! I’d refer any of my family and friends to his practice!
Very nice, gave me all the options and we came to a plan.
I love that Dr Manifold gives you options during your treatment.
Not pleased with outcome of knee replacement. Feel like I wasn’t properly informed and educated. I was also knot knee and feels like a straight knee cap is sitting in a knot knee cap like it’s going to break. Limited mobility of knee. Feel like my concerns wasn’t heard.
Dr Manifold was very available and engaged in my health and wellbeing. He was very honest and didn’t lie or pretend anything. We came up with one easy solution to my shoulder problem and agreed to give it some time and to return to see if we solved the pain and problem. If not, we explore further.
