Dr. John Manalo, MD

He reconstructed my and I have no pain. He personable, listens to all your questions and takes the time to answer them. I would recommend him to any member of my family. I drove 2 hours to have replace my hip and not a bit sorry I did. I would like to thank him and all of his staff for taking such good care of me.

Dr. Manalo replayed my hip after suffering from a degenerated arthritic hip. I've recommended him to family and friends with full confidence that he is the best. I'm 67 yrs old and am back to playing tennis, jogging and biking.

I wouldn't recommend John to no one come to find out I had a torn meniscus before I had knee surgery he put a stop in behind my new knee instead of fixing my torn ligament he never took a MRI before surgery Dr John never told me that their was another problem now the stop he put in broke off and I'm left with knee that hyper extends in a brace I'm totally let down they told me this doctor is the best never again I ask him why he that stop in behind my knee he never answered him I went back to see him he told me not to come back

Recently I had both knees replaced 4 weeks apart by Dr. Manalo and he is outstanding! He even calls you the night before surgery to see if you have any final questions! What doctor does that anymore?!? He goes above and beyond! His bedside manner is great and he is very caring. He also has many great team players that took an important role in making my knee surgery a success. From his nursing staff to Dr. Joe and Anesthesiologist Mansfield, they all were outstanding! Loved the extra care they gave during my second knee surgery. I was more nervous going into OR but the nurses and Anesthesiologist Mansfield cared and were able to get me relaxed enough before that I didn't even notice the spinal going in! Mansfield is very caring and also took great concern in keeping me comfortable. The team working all together made this surgery the best it could possibly be! Thank you, Dr. Manalo and staff!

Dr. Manalo & team were excellent! Dr. Manalo has great bed side manner & very genuine. Appreciated that he personally called me the night before surgery!

Dr. Manalo and his team did a great job and the recovery process has been very smooth.

Dr. Manalo was very personable, efficient and caring. He explained things very well and listened to what I had to say. His pre-op care was exemplary from Joint Camp to PACE Clinic. Each staff member I encountered was friendly, caring and professional. I went home the day of surgery and felt confident that I knew what to do and expect since everything had been explained and was in writing also. He had daily follow ups after surgery with his app. When I had a minor setback after PT, he called and suggested a change which greatly helped. I have been in healthcare for over 40 years and was astounded by how seamless everything is with his organization and staff. The patient is truly first for him. I would highly recommend him to anyone having Orthopedic problems.

very good

I am 10 weeks post TKA surgery with Dr. Manalo. I have been so satisfied with the process. At this point in my recovery. I am able to bike for an hour, both on the stationary bike and my real bike. I am able to use my ERG machine for 30 minutes.I recommend FWO and Dr. Manalo to everyone I know who is thinking of knee replacement. The pre-surgery PACE clinic and Joint camp were extremely helpful in terms of helping me understand the process. The 6 weeks pre-surgery exercises I did in preparation were critical in my recovery after surgery.I was so impressed by Dr. Manalo’s interest in me. He phoned me the night before to talk with me. I have NEVER had a doctor do that. He is an excellent surgeon and I had less pain after surgery than I had prior to it. The surgical scar is minimal, thanks to the zipper closure he uses.I have nothing but good things to say about FWO and Dr. Manalo. We are fortunate to have a surgeon of his caliber in Fort Wayne.

Dr Manalo has a great bedside manner. Great listener that really does care about the results. Followed up my full knee replacement with an app to keep in touch with me. Great surgeon that did a great job. I now walk 4 miles a day with no pain or limp.

I never had any long waits from the time i first contacted Dr. Manalo's scheduling through the same day discharge to go home from surgery. Everyone was friendly and professional from each step . I liked the daily messages from DR. Manalo checking in after getting home for 2 weeks for tips, what to expect, and issues i might encounter.

My husband and I have both been patients of Dr. Manalo. He informs us of options for our care. I would highly recommend Dr. Manalo for ortho care.

Dr. Manalo is a top ortho (Knee) surgeon in Ft. Wayne area! I'm 70 retired and active. Exceptional across the board. Explains the problem using Xray, scans, encourages questions.

Dr Manalo is an exceptional surgeon who won my TRUST. You can TRUST him! 5 STARS

No complaints from the moment I was getting prepped for surgery until I left that evening.

Dr Manalo, his staff, and everyone I have dealt with at FWO have been wonderful. The level of preparation in all phases is above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. Would highly recommend to anyone contemplating this surgery.

I had great care from the time I got there in the morning until I went home in the afternoon

Dr. Manolo has done 3 "replacement" surgeries for me in the past few years (one hip and two knees). Each time the surgery was thoroughly explained, pre and post surgical care was determined in order to make me ready for the surgery and to assist in a quick recovery. One of the things most appreciated was Dr. Manolo's call the night before surgery to see if there were any questions that I needed answered. I can honestly say that Dr. Manolo is one of the best doctors I've encountered! He takes the time needed to be sure everything is clearly explained, questions are answered and makes sure the patient is comfortable with the upcoming surgery.

It's been my experience that Dr. Manalo genuinely wants the best health outcome for you. From the initial visit to the end of your recovery, Dr. Manalo stays in touch with you making sure you have all the tools to recover in the best way possible. I have no hesitation in highly recommending his services.

My overall experience with Dr. Manalo and FWO / Lutheran for a knee replacement has been very positive. I didn't want to feel pressured into having the surgery, and from the first meeting and discussion with Dr. Manalo, it was stressed this was my decision. FWO has an excellent program providing support for patients requiring joint surgeries, and their staff is very good about answering any questions or concerns. From the surgery consultation to the post op care, my encounters have been with healthcare professionals that showed compassion and care for me and my family. We so appreciate the personal attention they have given us and continue to provide, helping to make this a positive experience.

I had a partial knee replacement and from day one he was always there for me if I had any questions. The surgery itself went well and recovery has been faster than everyone thought it was going to be. He is very good at what he does.
