“Happy I met Dr. Manoogian”

Moved from Indiana and I needed rotator cuff repair. I'm retired from the OR and I was highly impress with Dr. Manoogian. Very knowledgeable, took the time to listen to me and explain everything about my procedure. Very friendly. Highly recommend him.

“Best doctor I've ever had”

I was blown off by my assigned doctor in the hospital. On day 6, with no treatment and increasing pain for my septic arthritis. I requested another physician. Dr. Manoogian performed surgery the next day. I was not invisible. He listened. He was amazing. The most compassionate doctor I've ever met (I worked in the medical field for 40 years)

“Best Orthopedic Surgeon”

The most caring doctor I have had in my life!

“What a Doctor should be.”

I have been a patient for 8 years. Two knee scopes and one replacement. Dr. Manoogian truely cares about his patients and has always given me the time I needed and answered all questions. He goes over his diagnosis and treatment plan very thoroughly. He always gives all options and has a great personality and attitude.

“Best orthopedic surgeon in Lake County”

Dr. Manoogian is the best orthopedic surgeon in Lake County. I had the privilege of seeing his work personally when I worked at fl hosp waterman, and now I have the privilege of him treating me for my orthopedic issues. I highly recommend him; he has a dynamic personality, and a very warm and kind bedside manner with his patients; he believes in one-on-one care, and he has an excellent staff working for him. Please check him out for yourself.

“Dr. Manoogian and his staff were great”

Dr. Manoogian and his staff were great. It is hard to find doctors nowadays that are not all about money. You can see that he loves what he does and takes pride in his work. He is very professional and down to earth. He took the time to listen and explained what he was going to do. He was patient and answered all my questions. The surgery went well. The physical therapy went well and the physical therapist was awesome. I did a lot of research and I chose Dr. Manoogian and it was the best decision I made. He does have long wait times, but what doctor's office doesn't? The main reason for the long wait times, I believe, is because he takes the time to listen and explain things. I don't mind waiting if the doctor that is operating on me is the best. I highly recommend Dr. Manoongian.

“I would like to thank Dr. Manoogian and all his staff”

I'm doing this for my Dad Tim Tanner; he had suffered 12 yrs of hip pain and finally got in at Dr. Manoogian and got his left hip replaced and was immediately out of pain, never in 12 yrs. felt this good. I would like to thank Dr. Manoogian and all his staff for allowing me to be pain-free and able to be more active.

“I will forever be indebted to him.”

A year ago I went into the hospital with a severe infection in my elbow, not realizing how bad it was for me. My wife and my primary physician recommended Dr. Manoogian for a consultation. After coming in late that evening and realizing my condition, Dr. Manoogian canceled a trip and did surgery on my arm the very next morning at 6 am. His incredible compassion and caring went on for the next 3 months during my recovery. Dr. Manoogian is a great doctor and an all-around terrific person. I honestly believe if not for him I would have lost my arm and quite possibly my life. I will forever be indebted to him.

“Dr. Manoogian is very considerate and extremely knowledgeable.”

Dr. Manoogian is very considerate and extremely knowledgeable. I started seeing him as a soccer player in high school and recently needed his expertise again after a hiking incident left my ankle damaged. His staff is wonderful as well. I can’t imagine having a better team working to bring me back to full health. Thank you, Dr. Manoogian, for bringing me back to full health! Highly recommend this office if you are experiencing orthopedic problems.
