TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- Dr.Manion was the most professional Knee surgery I’ve ever had (I’ve had 4 knee surgeries, 3 ACLs with different surgeons ). He gave me the option to take 5 months to enjoy the summer and then he talked me through the entire procedure. I don’t want to tear another ACL ever again but if I did, Dr.Manion would be my first choice. Before this I had the Denver Broncos knee surgeon and the USWNT surgeon and Dr.Manion still communicated way better. Andrew on his team was also outstanding and helped me get all of my paperwork in order prior to the surgery. The nursing staff at Alpine Surgical center were also super caring and had great bedside manner.
- OPA got me in quickly. Easy check in. Courteous staff. Dr. Manion is a rockstar. He took time with me and actually listened to my concerns/issues. He told me exactly what he was going to do. And the referral was done and appointment was scheduled within 24 hours. Highly recommend!
- So far this had been the most respectful doctor's visit I've had in a while. They are not condescending when informing you of your injury or options. This makes me trust their skills and gives me peace of mind for my surgery.
