Dr. Manchua is truly an outstanding rheumatologist. She takes the time to really listen, explain things clearly, and make sure I feel comfortable with my treatment plan. I never feel rushed during appointments, and she shows such genuine care and compassion. Her knowledge and attention to detail give me so much confidence in my care. I am grateful to have found a doctor who combines expertise with kindness ,Äî I highly recommend Dr. Manchua to anyone in need of a rheumatologist.
