She had a very good "bedside manner". was easy to talk to, was caring, friendly and genuinly seemed concerned about my health and getting me better.

National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2017
Why didn't Dr. Manka tell me how I did on the breathing test that was given to me, just before I saw her? Why didn't Dr. Manka read the entire questionnaire that I had filled out?

National Jewish Health Patient– April, 2017
All good +

National Jewish Health Patient– April, 2017
My condition had been almost ignored and I was made to feel like I was just a cry baby! When Dr Manka saw me for my initial appointment I thought it wold be the same, 30-60 minute waste of my time. I ended up spending 3-4 hours at National Jewish so Dr Manka could do a battery of testing to make sure her diagnoses and subsequent fixes for it were a long term fix to making me feel better. UNBELIEVABLE! She listened to me and asked questions and was so patient! She is my angel! Please take as good of care of her as she did me. Thank you.

National Jewish Health Patient– April, 2017
1st visit. Decided which tests to run.

National Jewish Health Patient– March, 2017
Great experience with Dr. Laurie. She was courteous, helpful, and is a 'keeper.'

National Jewish Health Patient– March, 2017
Provided complete review of analysis of medical history & present condition. Clearly communicated plan for further diagnosis and care.

National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2017
Concise, professional, layman terms.

National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2017
My doctors at NJH have helped me immensely - I always leave well informed and feel I'm in better health since coming here.

National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2017
I'm a physician also, so I don't need the same type of explanations as others might since I'm quite knowledgeable. My only concern at this point is that, after my last appointment, I received copies of the complete medical records from my [medical record] (which I'd requested from medical records). There are some results in those records that were not addressed or discussed during my recent appointment, about which I have a few questions and concerns. My guess is that Dr. Manka would say those results are not of any particular concern, but I feel they perhaps should have been mentioned in the recent appointment.

National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2017
Showed & explained results of breathing test done - (very detailed).

National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2017
Excellent Consultation

National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2017
Dr. Manka is extremely knowledgeable, informative and friendly. She fully meets and/or exceeds any expectations I could have of her. I am very satisfied with the care I receive from Dr. Manka.

National Jewish Health Patient– January, 2017
It is not possible to have a bad experience with Dr. Manka

National Jewish Health Patient– January, 2017
Dr. Manka is outstanding! Best medical experience ever!

National Jewish Health Patient– January, 2017
*Dr. Manka is an excellent physician! She has great interpersonal skills and she has been "spot on" in treating my diseases. I have recommended her to two other people.

National Jewish Health Patient– December, 2016
I was listened to and when things were explained, I understood. I appreciate that very much.

National Jewish Health Patient– December, 2016
Dr. Manka, is one of the best diagnosticians I have had the privilege to have been treated by.

National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2016
Of course I would like instant answers, but that is impossible in my current situation (waiting for results of CT scan from another facility). I am sure when Dr. Manka gets the results of the scan she will let me know asap. Just difficult waiting.

National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2016
*DR. MANKA IS AT THE TOP OF HER GAME SHE IS BRILLIANT, and CARING, but she sometimes uses big words that I don't understand. BUT THAT'S OK. SHE IS A GREAT DOCTOR AND YOU NEED TO KEEP HER!!

National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2016
Dr. Manka diagnosed my medical problem very quickly and her treatment has been very effective in preventing recurrence of problems.

National Jewish Health Patient– October, 2016
Very good experience.
