Very friendly and direct in explaining everything. After the procedure I felt much better than I had expected which seems a testament to his skill. Everything went as he indicated, which provided great confidence.

A really nice and friendly man with a great sense of humour. He was very quick to find exactly what my problem is and requested mri scan to pinpoint where to treat. He said he will ring me with the results in order to save me the long drive back and will organise whatever treatment is required.

Dr Mano recently did my spinal fusion. We have been on a year long journey to solve my spondylolisthesis issues. He had been frank, pragmatic and given options with no influence on decisions. I have anxiety disorder so I ask a lot of questions and like to understand the details he's been wonderful with that and in explaining to my family. He came to see my before surgery, after and even the next day on his day off. His personal touch is fantastic. His level of care is next to none staff cannot say enough nice things. He was very frank about the level of pain I would be in and what that will be going forward. Whilst I had a spot of trouble getting the medications he advised for after being in hospital, he gave me all the info I needed esp in terms of worried around damage and rehab. Whilst it will take a year to know if my graft has been successful and I have a long road ahead I feel confident that with Mano I will get the care and experience I need. He's the doctor everyone should get to have.
Thank you so much for the kind words!

My case is complex. Whilst I am not the most severe case by any measure I'm sure, dr Mano treats me with utmost important. Our first treatment was mostly unsuccessful he has gotten to the root by finding an alternative possible future option. He takes the time to go through steps and ensure it's the right thing and not rushing into surgery. He takes time to answer all my silly questions

Truly the best doctor. Explanations are wonderful. He makes everything clear and concise and gives options without swaying in any direction. He empowers great care choices. He's the doctor everyone should get to have.
