Patient Testimonials (Former and Current)
“Dr Lon is everything you want in a Doc. He is kind, he listens carefully, he is wicked smart, he knows how to find the answers and truth to get to the root of your problems. I want Lon’s opinion on everything medical/wellness as I know he will thoughtfully and responsibly sort through the noise of the moment to discover what really works for people in general and me in particular. I am a lively 79-year-old psychotherapist. I take no meds except Homeopathy and food supplements. I am so glad to have Lon on my wellness team.”

“Simply put, Dr. Manson was the best Doctor I've ever had! I'm still mourning the loss of his move to Florida, though I am happy to know that the new patients he takes on will be in great hands. He is attentive, courteous, understanding, puts one at ease, communicates in an effective manner, has a great bedside disposition, is comprehensive and considerate in his approach. He always responds quickly and thoughtfully and really listens.
We live in a time and place where medical gaslighting is a real problem and he might be the only doctor that has NEVER done that to me. I never felt "dismissed" in his care - quite the opposite. Dr. Manson treats everyone with respect and it's clear that it's because he genuinely cares about each and every patient. He is a patient and practical man and always acts professionally while still being extremely personable and relatable.
After he educated me on what functional medicine is and his new endeavors in Florida, I'm only sad that I can't continue a doctor/patient relationship with him, due to the fact that we now live on different coasts. He truly is one-of-a-kind and Florida and his new patients are fortunate to have him!”

“I had the privilege to be under Dr Manson's care through Scripps for about 3 years. I would describe Dr Manson as the most empathetic, smart, innovative, compassionate doctor I have ever seen. I always felt like he listened to me and really tried hard to find the source of my symptoms and not just relief. He was great at following up and always remembered our visits because he took good notes. He would always had some new research about medicine to explore. Which made me realized he continued to educate himself to be a better provider to us.
Intermittent fasting was the last thing we talked about that he had recently discovered had amazing results not just for weight loss but to regenerate cells in the body. I always felt like Dr. Manson adjusted his care to my needs. He was very quick to answer my medical concerns through the portal and always seemed genuinely concerned for my health. I truly miss him and wish he were closer. I will consult him through video as I trust his expertise and value his opinions.”

Dr Lon is one of the rare physicians who doesn’t just practice “one size fits all” medicine. Instead, he first listens, really listens! Over time we realized he also remembers all previous conversations, our unique medical histories, and any other relevant information we’ve shared. He continually researches and discusses new options to address any ongoing symptoms or medical challenges that are not easily resolved. His curiosity and dedication to continue learning are such valuable assets.
When I first met Dr Lon, I had multiple medical challenges hit all at once. I had just retired and found it all a bit overwhelming. But, Dr. Manson’s confidence, encouragement, compassion, humor, and medical expertise definitely helped me keep my perspective. His insights, kind listening, and up-to-date knowledge of the most current research gave me confidence that we were making the right medical decisions and that all would be better in time. He was right!
Dr Lon is absolutely one of the best physicians we have ever had. We could not recommend anyone more highly! He is genuine, gracious, compassionate, and respectful. His passion for life, his family, his patients, and his work shine. His expertise, professionalism, and bedside manner are excellent. Appointments with him feel like visits with a great friend who just happens to be able to give you brilliant medical advice! We can’t begin to describe how much we miss him here in San Diego but are confident he will be making the world a better place for everyone in his new practice in Florida.

“Dr Lon is a great listener, that is sometimes hard to find in doctor. I feel he truly takes his time to listen and assess what your concerns are. He is very knowledgeable which makes me value his opinion even more. I would recommend my family, friends and anyone looking for not a good doctor but a great doctor. I want to quickly share one of my many great experiences with Dr Lon.
I had COVID and he gave me great tools to get through it. I got through COVID just fine applying what he suggested I do. He helped ease my mind as I thought COVID would be a death sentence for me because due to some of my conditions. If you are seeing Dr. Manson then you have made the right choice! Thanks again Dr Lon for your passion as a doctor and the real concern you have about your patients health!”

“Dr Lon is the only one who explained I simply needed fiber and an improved gut microbiome. I dread ever finding a new doctor and dealing with someone who sees pills as the main approach.”

“Dr Lon treats you like family. He takes time to listen to your concerns and formulates treatment recommendations based on your individual needs. He has been my physician for years and has earned my trust as a fellow healthcare provider.”
