I told her family history of non alcoholic liver issues. I don't feel like she heard me. The ultrasound orders were not rushed. Then I had to call for results. I should have gone to the hospital to get the care needed. I am still in pain. The Dr believes muscle pull although she just told me I have a fatty liver. Told me to exercise. Would love too. However in a lot of pain. Just had cataract surgery. Cannot see. I need my other eye operated on. I don't feel steady on my feet. And. Am in pain. Never bothered to check on me. No true care. Now I have liver issue. I am thinking that is the pain. No suggestion for follow up or liver biopsy. No suggested diet plan. I am hopeful my upcoming appointment with cardiologist will give me a plan of action. Again both my mother and sister died from non alcoholic liver failure/cancer.

Dr Manuel went over notes that Dr had sent her and she says call me if you need to me for anything. Being a diabetic I understand you are supposed to get blood work done at least every 4 months. Dr Manuel never mentioned anything about dormal blood work.

Extremely satisfied with my visit and experience
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/22/2025
The doctor was quite nice and listened well and answered questions. However, no apology for the wait time. We waited more than 20 min in the waiting room. Then waited more then 20 min in the exam room. Way too long with a baby in my arms and no where to put him. There wasn't a play area for little ones anywhere, and no exam room that catered to little ones. I left feeling exhausted and frustrated.
