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.

She is careless and reckless. Her behavior is unprofessional and she truly does not care for her patients. She is drug pusher and absolutely the rudest human I have ever met. Shame on you for treating your patients the way you do.

Rude
Horrible bedside manner. Seems to not understand certain diseases and doesn’t have explanations for test results. Has a narrow view of what diagnostic criteria applies to something. Spoke over me repeatedly and eventually wrote off my positive autoimmune tests as a result of weight.

I would not recommend Manickam, I felt she had no real knowledge of certain autoimmune disorders. When asked certain questions which I know to be correct,(from other RA doctors) she told me I was wrong. My insurance only allows me to see certain doctors, my choices are slim.

Dr. Manickam is fantastic! She explained my condition in great detail, which no one has ever done before. She took the time to make sure I understood the whole picture. Her demeanor is so pleasant, I felt like I was talking to a friend!

The absolute best Dr visit I've had in years. Very focused on getting me better. Very thorough with explaining what's going on. She is leaving the multicare system in January, I've already contacted her new employer requesting to be one of her patients. Anthony Williams
