5 /5 Bette Pritchett: Dr . Manuel is the best. I hated to give him five stars. I dont want him to be so booked up that he cant have time to see me for my knees. Seriously, April of last year, I had him do a hip replacement. Id been in a wheelchair for 4 months. I entered the hospital at 8 a.m. in a wheelchair, surgery started at 10 a.m. and at 2 p.m., the physical therapist came and got me to walk down the hall. Three days later I was moved to the rehab section of the hospital. This was the most painless of all the orthopedic surgeries Ive had, and Ive had 18!!!
