RODOLFO MANALAC

Has been my dr for over 41 years. Kind cares about your health and explains diagnosis to you.

Great Doctor and great staff

Great Doctor, He Always listen to you and is concerned about your health.

Dr. Manalac is always accommodating and and approachable. At times he personally calls to follow-up on the status of his patient. If a specialist is needed, he refers us to the best one in Baton Rouge and neighboring areas.

Awesome doctor, takes care of his patients. I've been knowing Dr. Manalac for years.

Dr. Manalac is a great doctor who listens to and is concerned with patient care. Great doctor and a friendly staff!

I have gone to the Doctor for 20 years . Very pleased

Dr. Manalac and staff are so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I feel so at ease when I visit them. They treat me like family and for that I really appreciate the whole staff. They understand all of my problems and really seem to care. Dr. recommends the best specialists available when needed. Words cannot express how I feel about this physician.

The staff is great. The doctor is arrogant, rude, dismissive, confrontational and judgmental. I gave him 3 visits before I decided that his attitude is not worth the aggravation. I may not be the perfect patient; but when you have to ask why your doctor seems unconcerned as to why your hair is still falling out while on a medication - thus my request for additional testing, and when every question is met with irritation, and when he often doesn't respond at all and then is again irritated when I ask a question repeatedly (my joints are hurting, do I need to see a rheumatologist? do I need a referral?), and when he insists he prescribed something to you and is irritated you haven't been taking something that he must NOT have prescribed, despite his notes, because I took the prescription HE wrote to the pharmacy, and took what they gave me as prescribed......well, you get the idea. I asked him why he was irritated, again, and he said it was because I questioned him about his determination that I needed an additional test to continue to take a medication I've been on for 8 years (7 in another state). I had accepted his determination, but he was still all pissy. He said it's because I won't stop smoking. He's seen me 3 times total - there is no long history of anything for him to judge me harshly on. I'd like to quit smoking, but haven't found the strength yet (just buried my dad a few months ago). I had mentioned a lump in my breast and that I had an appointment later in the day for a mammogram. He barely paid any attention to it other than to say he could have written a referral for that. Finally I said that if he didn't want me for a patient, to just say so. I then said, nevermind because he had been rude from the moment I had met him, and I was done. I "fired" him, and walked out. I am in my 40s with grown kids and grandkids, so I have dealt with plenty of doctors - and he has the WORST bedside manner of any of them. Avoid!
