Manalo Bayani L

Doctor Manalo was my family’s general medicine practitioner for over thirty years until he decided to concentrate on internal medicine, which is his specialty, and teaching at Georgetown University. During the past thirty years Dr. Manalo has performed three colonoscopies, two sigmoidoscopies and two endoscopies on me. In each case my recovery was outstanding and I did not experience any problems. I have felt fully confident in his diagnosis which has led me back to him each time. He is a calm professional who treats his patients with the utmost respect and does not skip around the facts. He will explain in clear terms any condition he may find and provides solid recommendations for possible treatments. He does not push his patients into making decisions and ensures that they fully understand the pros and cons of how symptoms could and should be treated.
During his time as my family’s general medicine practitioner his diagnosis of any problems we had, his recommendations for treatment and his treatments were all spot on. On one occasion a pulmonologist recommended a treatment when a small spot was discovered on my lung during an x-​ray taken during a military reserve exam. I consulted Dr. Manalo and he explained that the recommended treatment would definitely remove any problem with my lungs but that the medications recommended would probably destroy my liver and kidneys.
