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.

Thrilled with the care I have and continue to receive from Dr Manner and his PA Peter Hall. He gave me a shiny new custom 3D printed Conformis knee (100% custom made to match my exact anatomy). on Dec. 3rd and this recovery has been easier than the ACL reconstruction I had in my 20’s (now 48). I’m 40 days post op and doing great...I highly recommend anyone with a knee replacement in their future to make an appointment with him, not only for his excellent care but because he is only one of a few surgeons in WA using the Conformis knee...after all of the research I did on it I don’t understand why someone would want anything other than a knee that is made specifically for them.

Doctor Paul Manor botched a hip replacement on me. He used the wrong part, broke my thigh bone and my legs were uneven (one shorter than the other). Obviously, I had to have it redone......by someone else. Afterwards, I contacted the NW Hospital risk/legal department and after many letters and sending in documentations of out of pocket costs, living expenses, lost pay, they said they would act accountable and pay up. I should have sued them for malpractice. Two months went by, so I called the risk management individual who was attending to my case and he said, the compensation check would be mailed out before the end of the month. THEN, at the beginning of the following month he said NO sorry they have decided against it! I have no words, other than DO NOT USE THIS HOSPITAL OR THIS DOC. If you want more details, feel free to call me at 425-417-914. If I could have used less than one star I would have!

Dr. Manner gave me back a life.Replaced my left hip in 2006 & right in 2009. He set me up with UW physical therapy & I still do the exercises they taught me. Months after my 1st hip replacement I couldn’t figure out why I kept setting off a metal detector at a courthouse. The guards & I all laughed when I finally remembered I had a metal hip. I had totally forgotten—even after walking up a flight of granite steps to the entrance of the federal courthouse. In my 70s now & they're still wonderful

I saw Dr. Manner at NW Hospital. I felt rushed, didn't feel I had a complete understanding of the diagnosis for my hip, and was confused. Later I needed to clarify a medication dose and how long to use crutches. Didn't hear back for 8 days!!! I left messages online and called several times. The second visit wasn't any better. Very rushed, I left confused and upset. The notes he wrote (available online) from both appts was inaccurate. I do not recommend Dr. Manner.

My experience in the care of Dr. Manner has been nothing short of outstanding. Every stage of my surgery was handled with care, professionalism, and expertise. The results are remarkable--fast recovery and I'm able to return to an active lifestyle. I can't thank Dr. Manner enough!

Dr Paul Manner performed two separate hip replacements for me. I could not have been more pleased with my results, his compassion, humor and his willingness to share the process and answer any and all questions. My recovery was amazing and I have been able to continue with my active life style as an international flight attendant, kayaker and swimmer. Because of my positive experience with this great surgeon, many of my friends have also successfully seen him for hip and knee replacements.

I have had one hip done already by another dr., Dr Manner was the best, he listened , educated and put me completely at ease. No comparison in results this was so much better! Everybody associated with him is wonderful and they all work seamlessly with each other, a well greased wheel. I cant imagine anything but the highest score there is really. Christy
