Alison Mann

horrible dr. and horrible person. She actually hurt my kid. i will never go back and i strongly suggest don’t take your kids here.

I will give this doctor 10 STARS!!! The most caring, thoughtful, helpful, enthusiastic, pleasant doctor ever! She brightens up the room with smiles, giggles and positive attitude and my child– now 13 year old LOVES her (as we the parents do) from the moment we met her. She had us at «hello» and became our doctor when my child was about four years old. After meeting her my child was insisting on changing doctors and this was a great decision and perfect fit… Dr. Mann always makes herself available and is always considerate. Doctors like this one are hard to come by nowadays. She truly cares about her patients and makes them feel secured and comfortable. I can be sure we are in great hands and that is the most important thing you want for your child. I highly recommend Dr. Mann.

So many great things for just one review!
Dr Mann is just the best! Not only does she treat us like family, but her staff as well. I have 2 boys under 3 and every time we come in, someone comes to either hug my kids or myself. I’ve never felt so welcomed at a dr office.
Dr Mann has such a great attitude and my children just love her. She came to my house to do my 1 week baby check up and she is willing to meet us at the office on an off day if something is wrong. They even have lactation consultants in the office you can see.
Any Dr at balboa pediatrics is great but Alison Mann is my personal favorite.

The best of the best of the very best!

She’s been my triplets’ doctor since their birth and we are so lucky to have her. I’ve been fortunate that my children mostly see her on their well-​visits, but on the occasions where they were ill and we needed her, she was there 100%. The last 10 years with her as their doctor have been wonderful. I truly respect and value her in our lives and HIGHLY recommend her.

We met Dr. Mann at a Tarzana Hospital pregnancy class and we were immediately drawn to her upbeat & enthusiastic demeanor. Our daughter is now 8 years old and we are as happy with her now as ever. We also appreciate the support from her office and staff who are very helpful and accessible. We highly recommend her to our friends and family.

After reading the Reviews I might not be able to come upwith anything better to say!
Dr. Mann is over the top wonderful. I am the Gma and my Granddaughter has the best Peditrician ever! Dr. Mann’s love for kids shines right through her. She is ALWAY accessible, has saved my daughter (1^st time Mom) alot of grief and worry. Doesn’t matter if it is big or small she takes the time and has the Patients (no pun intended) of a Saint. What Dr. calls you on a Sunday to follow up or takes your calls in the late evening? My daughter lives in Santa Clarita and don’t think twice about the drive! Hands Down, we found our lucky charm… wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Thanks Dr. Mann !!

The best doctor I’ve ever met.
Dr Mann is so kind, knowledgeable, and truly LOVES being a pediatrician. I can’t say enough good things about her. She gave us so much confidence as new parents and she has helped with every question and issue we have about our baby girl. She puts being a doctor first… as many know by the open hours she keeps and willingness to accomodate other’s schedules. She is also very informed on natural ways to treat things… she always gives me sound advice and prefers to try a few options before prescribing medication.
I feel lucky to be with her. My friend just called to join and was told her waiting list is so long that she isn’t accepting new patients right now.
Our family LOVES Dr. Mann!

Let me prefix my review by stating, that I probably needed to find a doctor who practices integrative medicine (since I have a strong belief in holistic/​alternative medicine, but also understand the importance of conventional medicinal practices). I thought Dr. Mann was nice and bubbly and kind when I first met her, however, after almost a year of having my son see her — I just switched pediatricians. I had told her from the start, that I am a bit of a «worry wart» and will have a lot of questions and also believe in a holistic viewpoint (including with vaccines). She said she was okay with all this during our initial interview, however, as time went on — it showed that she was defensive. At some point, I stopped asking her questions or bringing up my concerns because it seemed to just cause a strain. Bottom line, I didn’t feel comfortable with her.
The last straw occurred when my son was due for a vaccine. She told me «oh good we had some of the good ones left». Turns out the one she was referring to was the worser of the two choices because it had a lot more aluminum in it. Once I got home and realize this has occurred, I called the office. The nurse that answered, laughed when I told her the situation. She said they’ve been out of the good vaccine for awhile, and apologized for Dr. Mann’s response. Soon after, I called Dr. Mann to ask about her response, and the first thing she said was «If you don’t trust me, maybe you need to find another pediatrician.» She said she felt I didn’t trust her — and when I brought up the vaccine situation — she said she just made a mistake and thought there were some «good ones» left. Basically, I feel Dr. Mann is fake. and pretends to be nice and kind but is actually very pretentious. I’m sure she won’t miss my business because she is a very busy and popular doctor whom you have to book months in advance for your checkups. And wait forever for during your visits,

LOVE Dr. Mann!!!
She goes above and beyond. I have a 6 & 8 year old and they have been with her since they were little. I prefer to take a more integrative approach to their medical care and Dr. Mann is supportive of this, gives me the information I need and we are able to work together for the best care for my children.
My kids love her too!
And… they have renovated the office. It now has a great kid friendly vibe! LOVE it.

We love Dr. Mann, she is always really informative, patient, caring and so sweet. Even though I have moved all the way to Stevenson Ranch I still drive all the way to Encino to see her cause she is the only doctor that I trust with my kids. I have even sent her photos of a rash that my newborn had to see if it was serious and luckily from the photo she could tell that is was a newborn rash that just comes and goes (saving me a drive). Love her!!!

Fantastic caring professional who really cares.

Dr. Mann is one of the most giving and thoughtful doctors I’ve ever encountered. She answers each question thoughtfully and without making us feel rushed. Our daughter actually LIKES going to the doctor just to see her.

I have been taking my kids to see her for about 9 years now. We were refereed to her by another Dr. She goes above and beyond. She is truly the best!!! Anybody who takes their children to her, should feel comfortable in knowing she will do what ever it takes! Bedside matter, look it up, it will have her picture next to it!
Dr. Mann WE LOVE YOU!!!

Dr. Mann is amazing. Our OB/​GYN in Beverly Hills recommended her when I was pregnant because we live in the Valley, so we went to her blind. She has been a wonderful physician and support for us, and me especially, as a new mom. She actually came to our home to do a «house call» when our daughter was newborn, to get a sense of our family environment. We were just floored. She is a wonderful communicator, very calming influence on us and our daughter, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Our daughter is almost four years old, and I attribute her healthy growth in part to Dr. Mann’s care.

We have been going to her for 10 years. She takes care of all my kids. Even though we moved out to Agoura Hills, but there is no way we are changing doc’s!!! she is truly the best! Loving, careing, funny, and great, I mean great bed side manner! She is there for your child, and doesn’t talk to you like you are stupid. L O V E HER!!!

Dr. Alison Mann is superb. She is the most caring and wonderful doctor. She doesnt rush you out of her office she really let’s you get all of what you need to out. She has a heart of gold and the knowledge to go with it.

Went to this Dr after ready the two reviews… just had a gut feeling. My instincts were correct. My first visit was out of necessity and desperation to get real help.
The bottom line is my search is over and I am staying with Dr Mann. She is attentive and caring and easy to converse with. She does not take the «Dr. Knows all» stance and is open to an actual collaberation in the health care of her patients.
My 5 year old daughter loved her from the first moment as did I.
great doctor… great office staff.

Dr Alison Mann is the most patient, kind, genuine doctor you could ever chose to take you child to. I interviewed numerous dr’s and she is without a doubt the BEST!!! She is always current on the most relevant medical studies and data. Her bedside manner is unparalleled. You can feel confident that your family is in good hands.

There are some people who are seemingly made out of sunshine. Usually, I dislike these people intensely. However, for a pediatrician, it works.
Dr. Mann is simply a joy. She promptly returns calls, is thorough, truly loves kids and will go out of her way to help you. You can tell she sincerely loves what she does. She’s just about the best kid doctor around, and most parents know how difficult a good one is to find.
If you’re anywhere in the SFV, it’s worth the drive, I promise. Your kids will thank you for it.
