I purchased a Groupon from this Doctor. I called to make an appointment and I was told by the receptionist that this was the first time they had used group on and she wasn't sure yet how it worked. I went into the office today to try again to make an appointment and the only person in the office was the doctor. There were two women in the waiting room.

After finding out that he was alone I said I would come back. He then asked what I wanted. He became very agitated and rude. I have never had a professional talk to me like he did. I Immediately cancelled by Group On and I will NEVER go into that office again! If you have purchased a Groupon from him be very very careful.

My family members have been patients for over 25 years. I decided to see if Dr. Manago could help with neck & shoulder pain. I am thrilled with the results. I am free of neck & shoulder pain & have seen significant reduction of the knee pain I have lived with for decades. Dr. Manago & his wife, Valerie, run a clean, efficient and cheerful office. I would refer this service without any hesitation.

I'm just really glad I found this place! A big thanks to them!

Manago Chiropractic changed my life! In 2010 when I was 14 years old, I had scoliosis surgery. Though the surgery fixed my scoliosis, it created a lot of chronic pain throughout my back and neck. It wasn't until years after the surgery that I was introduced by a friend to Manago Chripractic. I am 23 now and cannot imagine going to any other chiropractor! Dr. Manago has always been extremely kind and caring.

He created a long term treatment plan for me and it has WORKED! I have gotten so much pain relief from the treatments and adjustments that Manago Chiropractic offers. Also the receptionist, Valerie, is super sweet and accommodating! I highly recommend Manago Chiropractic to everyone!

Absolutely a miracle! I've had neck and back problems for 15 years. I am 42 years old and I live in Texas. My neck and lower back pain has caused me to have issues in all aspects of my life. I finally couldn't put it off any longer. I saw a specialist in Texas and everyone I spoke to recommended surgery. Being relatively still young I was very scared and skeptical about doing that, but I felt like I had no other options.

My mom in California recommended me to fly out And see Dr. Manago. After speaking with him and meeting his staff I knew I would be in good hands. He said he could help me, but I would have to make the commitment to fly in from Texas multiple times. I knew I had no other choice but to try. I started treatment in July and flew out to California every other weekend.

It is absolutely a miracle on my progress. My neck pain and back pain are completely gone and my range of motion has drastically improved. I feel like I have my life back. I no longer think about my pain anymore. My life has completely changed. I wish I would've started treatment years ago. Not only does his treatments work but they are the most caring people I've ever met. Dr. Manago, Valerie and Stacy Truly care about your health and progress. They are all amazing And I am forever thankful.

I was referred to see Dr Manago by my uncle. This was perfect because I had been experiencing migraines, neck stiffness, and back pain. I found that I have early stages of scoliosis and began treatment ASAP. I received help with coverage and 3 months in, I started to be able to play sports again with limited-no pain! It's been a year of getting to know him and his lovely wife, learning about stress management and other educational topic we talk about. Seriously great office and technique!

Dr Manago has perfected the system in working with the body that enables the body to heal itself. I've (unfortunately) seen my share of chiropractors and by far, this is the best method I've experienced. Add that to the fact that everyone in the office cares about my welfare. Why go anywhere else? I won't.

I came to Dr. Manago highly recommended by a friend. I had extreme upper back and neck pain with limited mobility along with lingering lower back pain. Two and a half months later I've never felt better! I quickly regained full mobility in my neck, my upper back pain is completely gone and my lower back feels better than it has in years. Dr. Manago really knows his stuff but more importantly he's genuinely passionate about helping people live a healthy pain free life.

Along those lines, education is a big part of his practice as he wants his patients to understand how the spine impacts every other area of the body. Couldn't be happier with my decision and couldn't be happier with the results!

I am so grateful for Dr. Manago and his Light Force Adjustment Method. For ten years I tried five different chiropractors with no lasting relief.some hurt me more. I thought I was going to be in pain for the rest of my life. Dr. Manago's method has given me hope and relief. If I have questions or concerns, Dr. Manago and his staff always take the time to talk with me. My family encouraged me to see Dr. Manago and I'm very happy I did. I have my life back. Thank you Dr. Manago.

With out a doubt the best chiropractor doctor I have ever been to. Not only gives a very thorough examination but also provides education every step of the way. I came here barely able to walk with constant pain after a motorcycle back ident after a couple months of treatment I back to my normal routines. Thanks you to the Manago team I appreciate the detection and the great service.

I had never been to a chiropractor before coming here but I do work with chiropractors in some capacity so I know a little about it. They use a different method than just cracking your back to achieve their results. Dr. Manago and his team are very kind and welcoming and really care about making sure their patients see results. So much so that they do before and after x-rays of your spine.

I have seen drastic results in straightening my spine but also with being able to sleep. I have insomnia and although it's still hard to fall asleep, I don't wake up in the middle of the night anymore and can stay asleep which means a lot to me. They really believe in what they're doing and really care about providing results for their patients.

My entire family receives care from Manago Chiropractic. For 23 years, Dr. Manago keeps me healthy and pain free. I appreciate the personal attention and flexible care plans that allow me to schedule with convenience. All three of my child began care with Dr. Manago within a few weeks of birth. As teenagers, they are healthy and strong athletes that rely on quality care. The light force adjustment technique works for me and my family and we appreciate the professionalism and level of care at Manago Chiropractic.

It is frustrating when you are looking for medical assistance or wellness care and what you find a group of people like Manago Chiropractor that are mainly oriented to making money out of each patient's need. Something was not smelling good on the first visits I had at this location. Dr Manago and his coleague make you come 3/4 times (1hr each) before telling you the full diagnostic.

Day one x-rays and a whole evaluation and what they call "education". Second day, quick adjustment and the story that you have multiple conditions and that you need to do treatment right away, Third day, another quick adjustment (they don't show you the x-rays yet nor any kind of estimate for copay, etc) even though I requested it, and forth day like a suspense movie they ask you to bring your spouse or significant other they tell you so she/he can understand your condition and commitment, but It is to put you on the spot and make you sign and contract up front for multiple sessions for several thousand up front.

Finally they show you the x-rays. They do not like to work with insurance. Actually I had coverage and they didn't claim my visits ( I found out later) they just took cash. Besides it has been the most expensive "copay" I have ever paid. Do yourself a favor and find a doctor that provides light force adjustment in your network or another place.

Save time, money and peace or mind. Alicia Chiropractor in Lake Forest is an excellent option and probably for half of the cost of what these people ask. I found another doctor that provides same care but that truly cares about patients and treat them fairly and with respect. The only thing I saw positive is the information they share about the condition you may have.

They have pamphlets that are helpful. But again all these are marketing tools that at the end you are paying for with those expensive payments. That is what they do. selling! Sad there are so-called doctors that see patients like an open check book.

Horrible customer service. Don't personalize any treatments to the individual, they don't take the time to get to know you and your situation and how they can accommodate or assist you better. Bathroom is a little dirty and has ants around sink and on walls and floor. Receptionist are very rude and blunt to their customers. Scheduling is difficult. Their hours are very limited.

Been a patient here for many years. Started coming when I suddenly had lower back pain. I had been going to a back cracker chiro who would provide temporary relief and yet my back always came back to being painful. Here is what I found with Dr. Manago. He takes measurements of coccyx and atlas bones. This is the last bone in your spine and the bone at the top of your spine in your neck.

The measurements are assigned a number. The goal is to get close to zero. I started at high 90s for both numbers. This number represents the amount of subluxation in your spine. After a low pressure adjustment my back was measured and over the next six months my numbers reduced close to zero. As the number reduced so did my back pain. As the pain reduced and the number reduced I was able to have adjustments less frequently.

I have now been pain free for 5 years and I go every 6 months. The low pressure adjustment is done with a device that puts gentle pressure on the coccyx and atlas bones. Then Dr. Manago reads the amount of inflammation radiating from your spine. Is it cheap-no Is it effective-definitely yes Finally, Dr. Manago wants to partner with you in your health.

If you come here ready to learn and to be dedicated to your therapy this is the place for you. My wife and daughter come here and they both have excellent back health just like me.
