Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Most down to earth doctor I’ve ever visited as a patient. Listens and willing to seek others opinions if she feels she needs! Never makes me feel my complaint is too minor!

Love Dr Manuel, straight to the point and down to earth. Extremely knowledgeable physician and there is no BS when you are dealing with her. She is very thorough in her exams and I would recommend her to anyone who is needing a caring, knowledge and compassionate family physician. Love her!!

I called to ask if Dr. Manuel is accepting new patients. Unfortunately, I did not book an appointment because of the secretary's lack of customer service and class. She asked me who my last Dr. was and I had only seen him once and decided to find another Dr. because his office was too far. Because I could not remember his name right away I looked him up online and after 10 seconds of waiting, the secretary said, "C'mon ma'am!" You lost a potential patient and I will spread the word. 1/27/2017
