Dr. Manning greeted me in the waiting area by name and a genuine smile. We then walked into her office. She asked me about any concerns I have and we discussed a couple of issues. I did say I have one concern I.e. coughing in the morning from the lower throat, upper chest area while still in bed.. She said do you have a cat and/or a down puff. I have both, she immediately answered yes and she suggested a prescription of a nasal spray. I got the spray and Now the coughing is gone. I use the spray just before bed each night. Dr. Manning is caring and so knowledgeable. This is just one example of resolving any issues I have had, that have been resolved due to her wisdom and knowledge as she listens.

Mary Manning is a great doctor . It's tragic that there aren't more Dr Mannings for the 1000's of people that do not have a PCP because there are not nearly enough of them. They are not considered as important as specialists, yet they're critical for each of us. She epitomizes what a physician should be.
