Patient Reviews

Dr. Manering's support staff is very efficient. They are very timely and mindful of the physician's timing, perspective, as well as the patient. And I think that's an important thing to ensure that patients are seen timely, efficiently, and effectively. Thank you.

The service is so good please keep it up

Long time (months) waiting for an appointment. It is ridiculous!
October 08, 2024
It takes much too long to get an appointment and when you do get an appointment it's like 4 months to the date when you got the appointment,
October 08, 2024
the 2 negative responses were because it took 6 months to get an appointment = not enough neurologists maybe? Then on the day of my appointment I was asked via text to be 15 min early for the appointment so I got there 25 min early. Then was told he was 1 hour behind. Evidently his first appointment had some real challenges and his visit went way over. I'm glad that he was able to be cared for, provided good care and I was understanding. The staff kept me informed and let me know why this was happening. Doctor Manering was really wonderful, Professional, Patient and kind!

I was originally seen by Dr. (name removed), In the evaluation I explained that my major problem was neck pain (Arthritis) and my feet were a problem but, I knew what was wrong with my feet. Dr. (name removed) does not do testing so he sent me to Dr. Mannering, H said he was only authorized to test nerves in my feet, so I never got my main problem " Neck" tested. back to square one.

Doctor and Staff are very professional and pleasant.

Dr. Manering is absolutely a blessing and he is so patient, kind, and takes the time to make sure he's thorough with his patients. I enjoy having that connection with him. However, the process for procedures is a minus to get things done. The waiting period is pretty extensive. Overall, though, he's a great doctor.

Dr. Manering was very, very kind and I would answer all my questions and yes, I would definitely trust him with anything, any need I have in the future and refer him to friends and family. I was very happy.

it takes months to get an appointment.

August 16, 2024
Dr. Manering is an outstanding doctor and listens to his patients. I have only wonderful things to say about him.
August 16, 2024
I wish every doctor treated their patients the way that Dr. Manering treats his.
August 14, 2024
Dr. Manering is a very caring and kind person. With all the patients he has I am always impressed by how much he knows about my case, that is very comforting. He explains things clearly so it's easy to understand. Thank you, (PHI removed).
July 10, 2024
Enjoyed my visit with Dr. Manering always pleasant and through when seeing him.
July 10, 2024
Don't understand why I was called into the exam room just to sit there for :30 minutes until the doctor came in to see me.
July 10, 2024
Dr. Manering really cared for me as a person, not a disease!
June 18, 2024
Always have quality time with Dr. Manering. Because I am doing so well, I don't get to see him as often as I use to.
May 20, 2024
The only negative I have experienced with PIH is the long wait after the referral for the specialists. In March, I waited 2 months for an exam to qualify for a test; and after the exam in May, the earliest appointment for that test is October. Doctor needs the test - can't be treated without it - seven months is really too long to put my health on hold. Wouldn't you say so?
May 16, 2024
He is a terrific and very thorough Neurologist who truly cares about helping you through the process of grtting you feeling better.
May 07, 2024
This is my first time seeing Dr. Neil Manering and he came in, just where he carried himself, he was a gentle spirit, he really showed respect and compassion and it was continuity because I had seen Dr. (name removed) first, then he passed me on to Dr. Mandering and I just was very impressed with his thorough and very respectful meeting me and helping me see what's going on with my legs. He gave me hope. Thank you.
April 26, 2024
I was very impressed with how thorough this doctor was and how competent he was, but I have to admit that he made me cry. I'm just not used to doctors being so compassionate and so caring. And it really touched me and I'm really grateful that I got to see a doctor who not only helped me with my medical problem, but emotionally too. And I thought it was a really good experience.
April 26, 2024
Both Waze and Google GPS took me to the wrong location. I called the office from the wrong location, and said I was lost. She said they had a 20 min grace period. I was crying because I waited a long time for this appointment, and I didn't want to miss it. I made it just in time. (You might want to get ahold of both Waze and Google Maps and get that fixed. Yes, there's a way to do that).
April 25, 2024
Dr was very friendly and listened to me without acting like he was in a hurry. He took his time and explained everything clearly to me. The staff was also very kind and friendly. It as a very positive experience. the only issue is getting appointments
April 23, 2024
The doctor was very patient and understanding. He gave me many alternatives to help with the pain.
April 22, 2024
Dr. Manering, and his staff, is awesome. Thank you.
April 08, 2024
I enjoyed my visit with Dr. Manering and I appreciate the way that he was very accommodating to my driver that was there my friend and I definitely will go back to him constantly. He's a good specialist and his staff are always good to me, as well, (name removed), as well. Thank you

March 29, 2024
Dr. Manering was very nice and listened to what I had to tell him. He gave me information and guidance as what would be helpful for me.
March 21, 2024
Dr Manering was exceptional. Explained things, easy to understand and very helpful. The experience was as close to perfect as it gets.
February 28, 2024
The second appointment for detailed test has been given after 4 months. Should have been ideally given quick appointment say in the next week or so.
February 21, 2024
Dr. Manering is a great doctor. I've been to him before and I would recommend him to anybody.
February 21, 2024
Dr. Manering was very attentive, informative, and he explained everything in simple terms for me to understand. Dr. Manering was prepared and he diagnosed my problem and we looked at some of my options and he listened to everything I had to say and very respectful, very knowledgeable, very good manners, and he offered solutions to the future for my condition and he ordered some new tests and new MRI and he got everything done quickly, efficiently.
February 21, 2024
Very good Doctor. He cares about you!
February 16, 2024
Not sure what the result of the test revealed
February 15, 2024
Dr. Manering is, without reservation, one of the best doctors in the PIH family. He is thoughtful, professional and compassionate. Most importantly, he takes the necessary time to address all of his patient's and their family's concerns.
February 01, 2024
I was nervous, anxious and had so many questions after just having my stroke. Dr. Manering put me at ease and explained things in terms that I was able to understand. I truly appreciated Dr. Manering actually taking his valuable time with me (almost an hour) and making me feel comfortable and not like I was just another "number"! I felt he actually was concerned and cared about my feelings and well being! I'm truly grateful and blessed Dr. Manering will be my neurologist.
January 31, 2024
Oh, I just want to say I wish all physicians were the type of Dr. Manering because he's excellent.
January 30, 2024
I had to wait about 4 months for this procedure because there were no appointments available sooner. I had to wait for around an hour in the exam room for the doctor because he had a complicated case with a patient
January 26, 2024
Doctor Manering exhibited professionalism, care, and compassion. He listened and showed interest in all questions that I had.
January 26, 2024
Dr. Manering is a completely... completely compassionate doctor with my husband. I recommend him to all my family if needed to do so. Thank you so much. My name is (name removed). My husband, (PHI removed), is the one that sees Dr. Manering. Thank you.
January 24, 2024
Dr. Manering has made me feel he completely understands the symptoms of my neuralgia. The medication I'm currently on has kept my pain under control and he did not see the need for an adjustment. Thank you Dr. Manering and staff.
January 23, 2024
I am frustrated with the time it takes to get an appointment. While Dr. Manering is worth it, my conditions require that I see my specialist as soon as possible, not in six months or in a year.
January 18, 2024
Very friendly staff. Dr. Manering explained things well and answered my questions. He is always kind and respectful.
January 05, 2024
Thank you.
January 03, 2024
Dr Manering listened to what I had to say and did not hurry me along. Answered all my questions attentively.
January 02, 2024
It took me five months to get an appointment and it's taking me another five months to have a test ordered by the doctor done to me. The appointments are way too far apart. For that reason, I am most likely not to recommend this doctor.
December 26, 2023
Dr. Mannering was very thorough and very personable. His nurse was also great. However, I need a follow up appt for testing and could not get an appt. I really like the care I get from PIH, but the appointment desk or calling for an appt for any doctor is really frustrating! Please work on getting the scheduling desk to better serve your patients. Thank you.
December 06, 2023
Yes, for this provider it takes a long time to get an appointment. It takes a very long time to get the recommended test also. So it's disappointing in that sense that it takes forever to get the appointment and scheduled test.
December 05, 2023
It takes 4-5 months to get the appt. then 4 more months for the next. By that time I have had the problem for almost 3/4 of a year.
November 30, 2023
The doctor was very nice, Dr. Manering, and he did listen, but the one thing I'm concerned about is he was going to send in a prescription to my pharmacy, and the pharmacy never received it. And I called into the office and spoke to a nurse or someone, and she said that it wasn't in my chart that I was to receive one, and I haven't heard back anything. My next appointment isn't until April, so I'm wondering if I have to wait that long to even get one. Thank you.
November 29, 2023
A very good experience.?
