I had been living with pain for nearly 2 1/2 months, which had been mis-diagnosed. by another orthopedic physician. I saw Dr. Manalac and within 30 minutes he had provided me with a diagnosis (after X-rays). I am most appreciative with observations and I should proceed. He is very clear and exact about this. The time he spent with me was more than most of my providers whom I see. I cannot say enough positivity about Dr. Manalac and his staff. Each and every one made me feel respected and comfortable.
