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.

Dr. Manzo is kind, caring and a great surgeon. I recommend him highly. Healed great from rotator cuff surgery in January 2023. The staff is also friendly & efficient.

My visit with Dr Manzo was not what I expected. I had heard such great things about him as a person and as a doctor. I found him to be arrogant and not very thorough. He sent me for blood work (bc my hands were sore and swollen) and I never heard from him or his office regarding the results. I called the office and it took him 2 weeks to get back to me. During our discussion he told me that he would like me to see a rheumatologist for further blood work as my ANA level was high, meaning an autoimmune disease, and would send a referral. I never heard another word from Dr. Manzo. Never received that referral. I am so disgusted with the way he gave such disregard to my issue. I have since found my own rheumatologist and endocrinologist and have found that I do have an autoimmune disease which is wrecking havoc with my body. No thanks to Dr. Manzo, I finally know what is happening.

I saw Dr Manzo for a chronic problem with my wrist. He diagnosed and treated me with great care and compassion. I finally have relief! I highly recommend him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Manzo for several years. The care and concern for the patient's well-being by Dr. Manzo and his staff is evident and real. They are the best. As a guitarist, long boarder, and model aircraft enthusiast, to say I need my hands in top shape is an understatement. Dr. Manzo and his staff are the people I trust 100% with my hands.

Here is a doctor who is really concerned with meeting patient needs in a friendly, responsive manner. Dr. Manzo thoroughly explained a condition to me and provided definitive answers to my concerns. Prior to seeing him, two other practitioners seemed to have little interest in taking the time to work with me. Dr. Manzo was in no rush during the visit. My needs came first. He answered all of my questions and took the necessary steps to provide a treatment plan that worked.

I had thumb joint replacement surgery and have been very pleased with results. I find Dr Manzo receptive to answering questions and his office staff are helpful when you call with issues.
