Alexander Maneffa, MD

My two sons use to go to Doctor Maneffa when they were younger. I think he is the greatest pediatrician ever!!! Now I have a grandson and I’ve been able to take him to see him a few times. He’s not his regular pediatrician due to his insurance. But I’ve paid a few times out of pocket to take him to see him. My grandson really really likes him. My son’s always tease that it would be cool if he could still be their doctor. I think he is amazing the way he talks and bond with the kids. If I could give him 10 starts I would. He’s the Best!!!

Dr. Maneffa is great. I was dreading taking my 9 and 5 year old for their school physical to enroll in a charter school. My children are not vaccinated and I was bracing myself to be hassled and treated like an ignorant and neglectful parent. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Dr. Maneffa set my children at ease and was very approachable. He treated me with respect and signed the personal exemption form without making a big deal about it. For parents who choose an alternative path, Dr. Maneffa is the perfect choice.

Dr. Meneffa is AMAZING. He is so patient (with this nervous mama), kind, knowledgable and awesome with my daughter. You and your family would be privileged to see this fantastic doctor.

Dr Maneffa has been the pediatrician for both my kids for 10 years. I love that he talks to them at their level and includes them in the conversation. Other doctors talk about kids instead of with/​to kids. He never seems like he is in a rush and spends as much time as we need to answer all of our questions. When my health insurance changed, my 10 year old said «we are still going to dr. Maneffa, right?» We think he is THE BEST. In fact, several years ago, me and a colleague at work were having a debate over who had the best pediatrician. Come to find out, her kids went to dr. Maneffa also. What a great doctor and great guy. I have full trust in his ability to help my kids.

Dr. Maneffa is been in my family literally for decades. He is my kids’ pediatrician, my nephew’s pediatrician, and was my husband’s and his brothers pediatrician (about 28 years ago). Dr. Maneffa is definitely aging well because you would be surprised just by looking at him that he has been in practice for well over 30 years.
He is informative and definitely cares about his patients and their family. He takes his time when he sees my children and none of my questions are ever left unanswered.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Maneffa. He is an excellent pediatrician!

I saw the doctor as a child and now my children see him as well I wouldn’t want it any other way. He is gentle and kind and the kids just love him. He is an amazing pediatrician and I highly recommend him.

I just saw Dr. Maneffa today for the first time and he was so informative. I’m super happy in the choice we made to have our son be seen by him.

Dr. Maneffa was my pediatrician when I was a child (I am now 26). I was very sickly and probably saw him at least once a month. He is hands down the best pediatrician I’ve encountered. I’ve been to a handful of other pediatricians personally and also a handful for my son who is 5. He’s so good with children and is always very calm and gentle.
Ex. — When he would check my ears he’d always tell me he saw the Little Mermaid in there waving at him!
Kids are already anxious about going to the doctor (SHOTS!) but as a child I looked forward to going, especially when I was sick as he was so caring. I only wish the practice he worked at took our insurance because he would most definitely be my son’s pediatrician. I would recommend him to any parent.

Dr. Maneffa has been seeing my little one since she was born (she is now 5). He is calm, considerate, and non-threatening…and he always has a pocket FULL of stickers (which my little one loves)!! (: He has a great «bedside» manner and always answers my questions, asks lots of questions, and overall is very positive and charming. He talks directly to me about things but he also asks my daughter questions every time we have an office visit… sometimes, she talks to him, sometimes (like when she knows she is getting shots) she doesn’t, but he attempts to engage her every time.
I briefly took my daughter to Kaiser (it was covered in hubby’s insurance from work), but ended up paying extra for her to get her own separate policy from another carrier just so that she could come back here and see Dr. Maneffa specifically. There is no belittling here, no «you are not a doctor» thing going on, and no «crossed lines» of communication.
You can’t go wrong with this Dr on your team to help you keep your kiddos safe and healthy!
