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.

Amazing doctor.
This doctor was recommended by my daughter that is a Nurse Practitioner in Houston. My husband has PAD, which is when the arteries and veins in your legs harden. His cardiologist locally said there was nothing he could do but amputate the leg. We went to see Dr Maniscalco and he did bypass surgery on the leg and my husband is good as new. Please give this doctor a chance before you make drastic decisions concerning your health. He is the best!

Life Savor
I went to Dr. Maniscalco after having many complications at another will know facility . Best thing I could have done. He took my case and preformed multiple surgery's thus pulling me out of a downward health spiral. Dr.Maniscalco also set me up with all the necessary care doctors I needed. Best description is putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.I feel very blessed.

VARICOSE VEINS
My 1st appointment was for a eco in my legs, performed by a technician, and a 2nd appointment was to review the results with the doctor and discuss procedures. For the 2nd appointment, after waiting 40 minutes in the examination room and complaining about it, I got a nurse practitioner that wasn’t familiar with my case at all and gave me the Google search kind of information anyone can get with internet connection. She literally said: any of those treatments might be the one I’ll do in your leg, I’ll now better when I see the results of your test - So basically I drove there and paid for a consultation only for her to tell me that she didn’t take the time to see my results. (And she’s the one supposed to perform the surgery? Nope thanks)Pretty sad to feel so unimportant not only to the doctor but to the team that he puts in charge of procedures to the point of disrespecting my time, money and my condition as a patient.

The best in my eyes!
Dr Manny came across so confidently that it almost surprised me. He made sure to give me the time I needed and answered any and all questions I had. His staff is great, and I really enjoyed his interaction with all the folks in ICU after my procedure. (he had no idea I was listening, but I was awake)

Dr. Maniscalco repaired my husbands aneurysm below the kidney through the groin and while he was operating, he found two surprised he was not expecting. He saw that both the renal arteries were blocked that the scan did not detect. He put a stent in and said now his blood pressure and kidney function should go back to normal numbers after dealing with BP and kidneys for years. He is the best! I would HIGHLY recommend him!

I am 73 years old and was trying to get some that my new puppy had. When she stopped and just looked at me. I knew there was something wrong. So did my sweet little Chloe my new pug puppy. I mediately knew I had to call 911. Dr. Maniscalco was my doctor in the hospital. I had 3 blockages. He did surgery and I'm healing very well today. I thank Dr. Maniscalco for saving my life. He is a very caring doctor. His staff is so kind. Thank you again. Gloria Ross

Dr. Maniscalco is a Christ-follower & very confident & brilliant Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgeon without being arrogant or narcissistic. He accepted me as a patient when all other surgeons feared I would die on their table, including my 1st surgeon from 11 years ago, & rejected me. I was also thrown under the bus by all cardiologists. So, my brilliant PCP, Dr. Robert Jeremy Laningham, also a Christ-follower, sent me directly to Dr. Stephen P. Maniscalco & before he saved my life, he prayed with me. Before this second by-pass, I felt like the "walking dead" because I was just that. This Thanksgiving 2021, & for the rest of my life, I thank God for Dr. Stephen Maniscalco & Dr. Robert Jeremy Laningham! & thank you both Dr.'s Robert Jeremy Laningham & Stephen P. Maniscalco. I intend on being a walking, dancing, living testimony of JOY because of ya'll PTL PTL!!!

My husband had 6 bypasses, valve replacement, valve ablation, and heart wall ablation. Dr. Mani was kind, compassionate, and forthcoming. I would recommend him to do ANY surgery, especially the complex ones. He was born to do surgery humbly and with excellence. We simply cannot thank he and his wonderful staff enough during our stressful time.

Dr. Maniscalco is professional, has a good bedside manner and is prepared to see his patients. Nurses from other organizations recommended him over the cardiovascular surgeon at their facility. They recommended Dr. Maniscalco because he has great attention to detail, care of the patients, skills and is attentive to his patients. After my visit with Dr. Maniscalco, my fears were lessened and trust was developed. The day of surgery, the pre-op and anesthesia staff only had wonderful things to say about Dr. Maniscalco. After a successful surgery, I am very grateful for Dr. Maniscalco. During the post-surgery visit he answered all my questions and more. I would recommend him to others. His staff are professional, nice and very helpful. Thank you Dr. Maniscalco and staff.

Dr. Maniscalco is an amazing surgeon. He replaced my Aortic valve without cracking open my chest! He used a 3 1/2 inch opening in the top of my chest along with an opening in my groin to do the job. I was in the hospital 3 1/2 days and didn't need but 3 pain pills after I got home. I was back at work 1 week after my surgery. Dr. Maniscalco & his staff were all friendly & professional, answering all of my many questions. They didn't even get upset that I was Mooing at them.
