Whenever we see Dr. Manning, she is prepared for our visit: she remembers where we left off the last time we saw her and what (if any) contact I've had with her since then. She's warm and welcoming with my mom. She takes time to explain her thinking and our next steps. She listens to my concerns and notes about my mom.
