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 Manriquez has been so great in my care. She takes her time in listening to my concerns with my treatment plans. Dr Manriquez really does care about her patience and I am very thankful.!

Atrocious
The experience we've had with Manriquez was completely unprofessional bordering on unethical. Insensitive, inattentive, and dismissive are the nicest thing I can say about her practice. Every concern my father, who was the patient, had went unaddressed. Appointments require him to appear fifteen minutes early with her arriving 2-3 hours late. Would require I make appearances at the clinic with my father which would have impacted my ability to work. Manriquez also thought it was appropriate that as his daughter I 'don't care' about him. I'm not the patient, why do I need to be there? She would send my father to other doctors to do her work for her, expecting them to fix him while she just talked down and belittled my father. You see Manriquez? Turn tail and run. Can't scrape even a little respect for her to call her a 'doctor'.

Horrible person
We waited three hours for my mom to speak to this lady. When we finally got to see her she was gaslighting my mom telling her she doesn’t have any knee pain. Then she also lied and told my mom she hadn’t been taking her medicine for 5 months so where was she getting them? Glad I was there cause I stopped her and corrected her telling her I literally pick up my moms medicine for her at this location and she has been taking them. Then some tech rushes in with some made up excuse and leaves us without answering any or our questions. She had an attitude from the second she walked into the room and was super unpleasant to talk to. I’ve worked in the medical field before and man have I met some rude doctors but this one takes the cake. Do not make appointments with her. Worst experience I’ve ever had.

Horrible! Worst provider ever!!!! Take it from someone whom works for a hospital and has been around various physicians. In my ten years as a healthcare worker, I have NEVER met such an unprofessional, unethical, disrespectful provider. She currently works for CentroMed (Walzem location) and I will definitely not put my parents health in her hands no more. Avoid her at all cost.

My ex-husband had a 145pm phone appointment to get a form signed for a surgery that he needed on his shoulder and this Dr. Manriquez didn't call for the appointment until after 3 pm. She got on the phone with an attitude demanding that his daughter gets on the phone instead of me. I informed her that his daughter was working so she couldn't wait for the return call from her. She refused to sign the form because she claimed he had missed an appointment that SHE CANCELED due to Covid-19 and never rescheduled it. She told me he needed to get the form signed by his cardiologist even though she is his primary care doctor. She was rude and totally unprofessional and I would NEVER RECOMMEND anyone select this poor excuse of a doctor. She needs to find another career with the bad attitude she has. Worst doctor ever!! Avoid her at all cost!!

Criticized the Dr she was filling in for (my PCM) then me that I had to see multiple providers for evaluations even though I had no new concerns or problems with my current treatment. Then I was told to take my blood pressure for 1 month (even though I had no history of high BP) and when I got to the follow-up appt., she called in the case manager and accused me of trying to fill multiple Rx's for pain meds which was untrue (I got proof from pharmacy/ insurance). Many other problems too.

THE WORST doctor I have ever seen, and I have seen many between me, my kids, and my disabled spouse. She is filling in for my PCM (whom I have seen for 3 years and whom I trusted 100%) and she decided to question and overhaul my medication regimen (refused to refill meds I have been taking for 3 yrs, thus leaving me hanging). She was accusatory in nature, asking about the meds I was taking, even though my meds were working and I didnt need a dosage increase or decrease. AWFUL DOCTOR. AWFUL.

As a 100% disabled veteran,15 years as a wheel chair bound veteran, I have been followed by the VA that time. For 10 years my multiple physicians have worked on my progressive disease with the goal of maintaining as much of my functional life as is possible. Recently, Dr. Cielo C Manriquez was assigned as my temporary PCP until my PCP returned. Dr. Cielo C Manriquez is a horror, She accused me of opiate abuse, sales and distribution in the first 10 minutes of our only meeting. Avoid her!
