Elsie Sheryle Manuel, FNP

Patients appreciate

The overwhelming majority of reviews for Elsie Manuel, FNP, highlight her thoroughness, knowledge, and compassionate bedside manner. Patients repeatedly praise how she takes time during appointments to listen carefully, explain conditions and treatment options clearly, and answer questions without rushing. Many reviewers specifically note feeling "heard" and comfortable asking questions, and several describe her as caring, patient, and empathetic. A number of reviews also credit her clinical diligence with catching serious health issues early, including one patient whose perforated appendix was identified through her requested CT scan, and another whose pneumonia was diagnosed after she pursued further testing despite initial exams appearing normal. Patients frequently mention her professionalism, warmth, and ability to make even young or anxious patients feel at ease.

Patients also share

Opportunities for improvement mentioned were relatively minor and infrequent. One review noted she could be more personable and proactively ask if patients have additional needs or questions. Another patient felt she did not acknowledge a family member who was present and wanted to contribute to the discussion during the visit. A couple of reviews raised concerns about documentation accuracy, stating that after-visit summaries listed topics (such as a Pap smear discussion or vitamin D screening) that were not actually discussed or offered. One isolated negative review described a visit that felt rushed and where the patient felt given inaccurate information in an alarming manner, though this appears to be a rare exception rather than a common theme.
