A quite competent endocrinologist
Very well informed. Pleasant and friendly. Open to having Video visits which I appreciate as I live far away.
Discussed what was needed. Questions answered professionally.
I was so surprised by the attentiveness. that doctor mani had that day.it was fantastic visit.
A thorough conscientous physician
I am very happy with my care by everyone at Stanford!

A conscientous informed doctor

She was.very thorough
Dr. Mani is an effective, expert communicator - I appreciate the consultation. The ability to have a video consult is very helpful, logistically.
She’s a good doc, interactive
She’s an awesome doctor
Explained medical issues well. Was very pleasant.
She did not bring up the testosterone test I had to mention that, I feel like she forgets she is managing that problem
Very professional, extremely knowledgeable in her specialty and personable. All of my questions were answered.
Dr Mani is a great communicator and is very helpful in explaining and answering all of my concerns.
She is a great doctor.
The doctor doesn’t have a great bedside manner. It makes it very hard to feel like I’m receiving quality care.
Dr. Mani seems very knowledgeable, but the topic of my fertility and hormones are something very important and sensitive to me. I felt she was extremely condescending in the way she dismissed my concerns. I had two appointments with her and in neither appointment did she reassure me or empathize with me when I was distressed. She seemed more frustrated that I wasn't able to properly recall the tests and menstrual schedules I had when I was diagnosed or perhaps misdiagnosed 15 years ago. She never acknowledged I was experiencing atypical symptoms and was only focused on the fact that she didn't believe I had PCOS. I'm not stupid nor histrionic, and came away feeling both. I felt like patient #n on her list and didn't even mention other questions I had at the end of the appointment, knowing how dismissive she was at my attempts to understand what was going on with my body. I'm sure she has much more important patients to deal with, but I hope she recognizes that how she treats people has a deep impact on their trust in the medical system and what might be going on in their lives.
She was GREAT as usual!!!
Excellent service
My first time at this facility and I was very impressed with EVERYTHING and EVERYONE!
I really like Dr Mani! She listens, she knows what she’s looking for and makes a plan. I get discouraged because we haven’t pin pointed what’s wrong with me as I get worse, but whatever it is, it does not look hormonal, although I still believe it is. She advised me to follow up with my PCP and ordered more labs. I appreciate her expertise and will continue to follow her instructions.
Dr Mani was professional and patient in explaining the reason for my doctor’s visit.
Dr Mani listens & go above and beyond

Thank you for this informative visit. See you next year.
I am sad that this will be my last visit with Dr. Mani. She has been one of my best endocrinologists I have had in my 28 years of T1D. She is so understanding, so thorough, so SMART, and so personable. I feel like I'm saying goodbye to a good friend. I hope my relationship with my new endocrinologist in Washington state is as good as the one I had with Dr. Mani. I wish Dr. Mani every happiness.
Dr. Mani is very knowledgeable and has a good manner with patients.

excellent job
On time and patient.
Awesome care!!!
Dr. Mani is very good. I like her. She gave me the information I needed. And scheduled a follow up visit. I feel comfortable with her care. Some of the survey questions did not apply to the type of visit I had.
Wow. What an amazing doctor. She is taking care of things that normally wouldn't be on her radar. I am SO glad she is my endocrinologist. She informs me of things I didn't even know existed, and then helps me face the challenges ahead and ways to treat unforeseen events. I recommend Dr. Mani to all the ladies in my Type 1 Diabetes Tribe. She is a gem. So smart, so kind, so human. Just a lovely human being.
The information changed from what I was told at the beginning of last year's treatment. I was told that the Reclast's continuance depended on the improvement seen on the DexaScan. Today I was told that I need to take it for three years in a row, seemingly no matter what improvement is seen, to be sure I gain enough bone density to last beyond the three years. Also, Dr. Mani becomes cold during the appointment and closes off. I realize she has to end in a certain amount of time, but this is like she's, I don't know, acting annoyed with my question. Could it be cultural?
Dr Mani is a personable, efficient and clear communicator
Dr Mani is very kind, a good listener, and an up-to-date expert in osteoporosis and other areas of specialization.
Dr. Mani was easy to talk to. She explained things well and gave me a chance to ask any questions that I had. Since we were mainly addressing the results of some lab tests, a video visit worked well.

I have recommend Dr Mani to of my friend
I haven't really had much experience with Stanford to judge it, but Dr. Mani seemed very competent and informative also.
Dr Mani could have been more forthcoming about my lab results. I had to ask her what my TSH results were from the blood work that she ordered. Otherwise, the video visit went well.
Very professional! Thank you.
My Doctor was very good at explaining the condition I seem to have. Took time with me and I feel confident in her diagnosis.
Was attentive and concerned about me.

She's great.
Very helpful
She is a through practioner
I’ve already referred a lot of my friends
I have been extremely happy with Dr. Mani as my doctor.
I would like her to please grow her patience with the patient. I was recapping what she said would be symptoms of advancing parathyroid problems and she cut me off. Obviously wanted to move on. Felt rude.
Patient, but persistent.
Communications and collaboration went very well for the most part, except There was a slight delay in syncing the information with the provider, after sending more than one related message via MyHealth without response. Also had the impression that the Dr. did not have enough time to sync up with decisions we made in previous sessions.
Dr. Mani was curt and failed to address salient issues concerning the medical safety of her recommendations.
Thoughtful, thorough clinician. A pleasure to have her as my doctor.
I find Dr. Mani to be an excellent doctor and an excellent communicator.
I already did this in the prior comment/question area.
Very professional and knowledgeable
Very Good.
Clear and helpful.
Excellent visit, informative.
She is warm and kind Amd seems well versed with diabetes care
She was thorough and clear in her explanations
I recommend Dr. Mani and Stanford Health Care to many of my T1D friends who are leaving Kaiser and going on Medicare. I feel I've had the most knowledgeable and sympathetic care from Dr. Mani that I have had since I moved to the Bay Area 17 (and three endocrinologists) ago.
Dr. Mani is sensitive to my needs and she answered all my questions taking time to do so. I did not feel rushed. She is also interested in how I am doing both physically and emotionally. She is a caring physician.
Professional, excellent, explains everything which leaves me reassured.
She’s great!
She was attentive and clearly knowledgeable, I am happy to continue as a patient as needed.
She is great. Very communicative and thorough. Always answers my questions and pays close attention to whatever it is that I may be experiencing. Weary of when she is out of office though, after a recent experience due to her being out of the office, I almost felt like my health care took a backseat for that time and it was a little slow and frustrating trying to get assistance especially when your not aware of your doc being out of office until days later. Lol
Dr. Mani is a favorite of mine. She's clear, concise, and caring. She has a lovely smile and a friendly manner. I have confidence in her opinions and instructions.
She was fine.
She is great
Extremely professional.
I'm confident that I'm receiving excellent care from Dr. Mani. She presents herself as a knowledgeable and compassionate clinician.

Felt very comfortable with Dr. Mani she heard my concerns . Dr. Mani was very Patient with me great patient care.
She was very helpful as usual
She is a great listener and expresses genuine concern about my health and well-being. It is always a pleasure talking to her.
She was very easy to talk with, very clear. She seems to be a fine doctor, and I'm very happy with her as the person who will be doing my biopsy.
Dr. Mani has done a terrific job updating my treatment plan. Her knowledge and approach is superlative.
Thank you for being a easy-going personable doctor.
great
Dr. Mani is an excellent doctor ,She is patient, professional, knowledgeable and Stanford should be proud to have her on board
I was very happy with Dr. Mani's care in all categories. She was very patient, engaging, articulate about the issues in a manner that I could understand, and empathetic. She impressed me as a very capable physician.
Very impressed with Dr. Mani. She listens, answers all questions, VERY patient.
Doctor Mani is unbelievable. Medical Doctor Of The Year by far
Cares about her patients. An excellent doctor.
While my provider was very polite, I felt as if she was a little rushed, not entirely attuned to me and already had an agenda for my treatment, which is understandable given her specialty. I think she is probably very competent, just has a different orientation than what I'd ideally hope for.
The care provider showed concern about my health and his advice how to cope with my health issues helped me tremendously.
she is thorough, friendly and at the same time swift.
Care provider does not communicate information without being prompted.
Dr. Nithya Mani is an absolutely outstanding doctor! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and thorough. She is a bright and shining star in the Stanford Health Care Universe!
Dr. Mani is excellent, communicates well, personable and professional, has my trust
Excellent care & explanations.
Dr Mani has been truly amazing and is a blessing to have while dealing with GD. Her knowledge and ability to listen is separate her from the rest. Thanks! Dr. Mani
No bad experience.
Dr. Mani is wonderful!
Always a great experience with Dr. Mani.
I already have e recommended Dr. Mani. In my 26 years with this disease, she is easily the best endocrinologist I have seen. She especially helps me understand some of the minutiae in tracking and responding to my data, explaining the reasoning for the adjustments and not just prescribing them. She also calmy reminds me about some practices that I might neglect without using a judgmental tone. Great doctor.
Very courteous! Good services.
I just felt that the provider did not seem to care. I also felt that she tried to minimize the impact this issue is having on my life and disregarded it as something very small.
Dr. Mani is an exceptional endocrinologist!
I felt as if the doctor only wanted to provide a prescription - there wan't much discussion on exercise or increase in calcium. and not receptive to my wanting to wait for next bone scan to see how exercise and diet might help. Just felt like I was getting on cycle of medication and blood test. Not helpful in recommending a personal trainer to get the type of exercise needed for osteoporosis nor very helpful when I mention my pre-diabetes concern. Stanford has some classes on this issue, but no mention.
Excellent, as always!
Dr Mani is a great physician and patient oriented
The doctor didn't show interest on my case, I had to look for the answers.
My experience has been excellent on every level. I am thankful for my primary position referring me to your facility.
I had 2 (two) appointments that day - one was good, the other not so. The visit with Dr. Mani was good.
The explanation of my conditions was clear and thorough.
she's a very knowledgeable and smart doctor. she explains things very well. very thorough. I understand everything she says. she's very concerned regarding my situation .
Dr Shah was very polite and helpful in her message reply.
She was excellent!
Dr. Nithya Mani was excellent in every way. She was very professional, friendly, and engaged.
Absolute excellence
Dr. Mani is great.
I have already recommended Stanford Health and my doctor Nithya Mani to two people since my visit.
Dr. Mani was professional but yet friendly. very helpful and considerate of my questions.
I felt like she only saw my thyroid. Which is what she is supposed to see. I complained of neck and ear pain she simply said "that has nothing to do with your thyroid". That was it. No physical touch to the neck area. I still respect and trust her. It was just different. I mentioned palpitations and dizziness. There was no sense of urgency such as "let's re-evaluate your TSH. or what other symptoms or side effects should I look for. Again I still very much respect her and her process.
Comprehensive exam & visit.
Very good endocrinologist! I liked her.
she's knowledgeable, caring and professional
Have good experience with care provider.
true professional, incredibly competent
In a endocrinologist, I look for a doctor who excels at looking at my glucose, sensor, and insulin delivery data to make decisions. Not only does Dr. Mani excel in this area, she also understands that I have a good understanding of the condition after more than twenty-five years living with it. As such, her explanations are clear and not too simplified. She also expresses a level of trust that I will apply the changes in care that she prescribes and modify them to the extent that I need, knowing that I will contact the office if needed. Dr. Mani is an attentive and well-trained doctor who uses great procedures for developing treatment plans and communicating them to patients. Simply put, she is an excellent doctor.
I quite like Dr. Mani and her asistants, altho they are a blur to me, are good as well. I have not yet seen the endocrinologist nurse practitioner but I will at my next appointment.
She is an excellent doctor and i would recommend her for anyone who needs a top notch Endocrinologist
Dr. Mani is fantastic in that she listens, acts and never shows (by words or body language) a condescending attitude. Having said that, She may be too kind. Frankly I think I have a significant non compliance issue and she is addressing it in a controlled and calculated way...good...but maybe not aggressive enough. Sometimes you have to put the patient on probation. I don't know if she is capable of doing that. Too nice.
Like Dr. Mani a lot.
I'm very pleased with the care I receive.
my first appointment with this doctor, tho I have been a patient of this practice for years. High confidence in the practice.
excellent
Excellent - even answered a question about a problem my wife is experiencing. Had a positive conversation about alternative medicine which is unusual with most doctors
forms and keying on computer are not conducive to verbal communication. Dr seems rushed to transcribe, read history, discuss, and examine
Dr. Mani is an excellent caring doctor.
excellent!
it really is a great experience going to SHC thank you very much!
Dr. Mani was very through in going through my past history, and current medications (this was my first appointment with her). Dr. Mani made changes to my medications, and explained how the new medications would work, and what the possible side effects might be. She showed real concern for my well being!
The amount of time allocated to the appt is too short to allow a patient dealing with a new and serious health issue to process the information and articulate concerns or to adequately think of questions arising from the new information.
This was my first visit with this doctor (my other doctors is no longer with this office) she (the new doctor) was very courtesy, took time to explain my test results and the need for new test to be done & why.
Dr. Manu verbally changed my basal insulin dosing but the office follow up notes did not reflect her new basal insulin dosing. The notes still read with the old amounts of basal insulin. I don't understand why the discharge paperes would not reflect her current advice and I need correct, current notes to be sure I get it right. I think I am using the right amount of Lantus but I am not sure because the notes do not reflect what she said to me. This is a problem I often have with this clinic: the printed notes on me do not reflect things accurately. I am always asked to update my meds but then the computer file on me never gets updated so what's the point of getting current med info from me if it doesn't go into the system?
Dr. Mani is smart, confident & kind. She did not appear rushed even though we know she is very busy. When she was in the room w/us she gave us her full attention.
I felt Dr. Mani was very dismissive of my concerns. She could not say anything without saying it's hormonal & I felt she patronized me when ordering labs - she expressed that she didn't think I needed. I felt she could not offer alternatives or really didn't consider my concerns that important. Very 'Western' medicine approach to health care. She had, I thought, a very lukewarm, aloof manner to her. Poor bedside manner. #1. Very aloof
Person was distant. Kept conversation narrow; didn't seem open to much discussion or offer much clarification. Business-like.
Care given was informative and competent. She was polite but had no warmth or eye contact. Spent time looking at screen.
I love this place and wish all of my medical problems could be addressed with this much ease and time.
I would refer any of my friends to Dr. Mani.
