A Conversation with Dr. Mani
Growing up in India, I viewed becoming a doctor as a noble profession—one that offered the opportunity to help others and make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. One of the most rewarding aspects of being a physician is earning the trust and respect of both patients and colleagues, which reinforces the profound responsibility and privilege of caring for others.
I help patients achieve their body goals by understanding the frustration that can come with relying solely on diet and exercise. Through surgery, I can provide solutions that align with their desired outcomes. My expertise allows me to artistically and skillfully enhance their physique and help them feel more confident in their appearance.
When I’m not in the operating room, I love spending time with my children, especially taking them to their soccer and golf games. Watching them play and even joining in when I can make for some of the most memorable moments. Sports have always been a great way for us to bond, stay active, and enjoy quality time together.
I prioritize being readily available for my patients, ensuring they feel supported at every stage of their journey. My commitment to superior results is matched by my dedication to clear and compassionate communication, not only with patients but also with their family members. Additionally, I personally check on my patients on the first day after surgery, reinforcing my hands-on approach to care and recovery.
