I seen the nurse practitioner, but Dr. Manning always come in and speak when I'm there I would recommend anybody that needs a gynecologist to see Dr. Manning and her staff, they are excellent and I started seeing Dr. Manning when she took care of my daughter when she was pregnant and she is really a good doctor. Thanks. Look forward to seeing Dr. Manning and her staff next year. Thank you for being so kind and gentle to me.

This was the best experience I've had in, ooh, some years now. The staff was awesome, sweet, courteous, and we laughed and joked about, you know, what was going on. So they made the visit fun and not scary. I would definitely recommend to other family members and friends. Like I said, it's the best experience I've had in some years, and we finally nailed and got to the bottom of my problem and my issue of what's going on. So definitely a 10 and a thumbs up. All right, thanks. Have a nice day.

The front desk and clinical staff was very courteous and timely in checking me in and getting me set up for my appointment. Dr. Manning was very personable and took time to help me identify resources to help plan my family. I really appreciate the help and guidance I received at the UAMS Women's Center!
