About Peggy Manuel, MD

I became a physician because I wanted to help others, especially to prevent health problems. I love practicing pediatrics in a preventive manner and enjoy discussing optimal nutrition as well as integrative health approaches. I strive to give patients the care I would like to receive for myself and my family. Since I work part time every day, I am able to care for myself and share my knowledge more easily. I believe that laughing helps us live longer, more relaxed lives. Outside of work, I like to walk, ballroom dance, explore a variety of foods and farmers' markets and research nutritional and integrative health studies.

Dr. Manuel is the best! My son is sixteen, and she has been his pediatrician since birth. She always takes the time to listen to any of our concerns, and she consistently makes helpful recommendations. My son said he will be really sad when he is too old or leaves San Diego for college and will no longer be able to see her. I doubt he will be able to find anyone else comparable.
