How do you distinguish yourself from the competition?
“I have been involved in research projects evaluating preterm labor, fetal programming and fetal hypoxia. I was the primary investigator in a large laboratory study assessing the programming effects of growth restriction on the offspring kidney and blood pressure. I provide a unique prospective and ability to optimize maternal health and thus long-term offspring wellbeing.”

What does the future hold for your field?
“In recent years there have been numerous advances in the field of Maternal Fetal Medicine. With improvements in ultrasound technology and the recent availability of both maternal blood testing for fetal DNA and extensive genetic disease carrier screening, our ability to identify a fetus at risk has dramatically improved. These technologies continue to progress every year.”
FAST FACT Dr. Mansano received the American Gynecological and Obstetrical Society/ Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine award in 2008 for work focusing on the effects of the uterine environment on the offspring’s adult health.
When did you move to this area?
“I moved to Los Angeles when I was 8 years old and spent the rest of my childhood in the
San Fernando Valley. I am thrilled to practice medicine in the community where I was raised and where I am raising my five children.”
What advice do you give for preventing illness?
“Enhancing the health of the mother is crucial for a successful pregnancy. We work with every pregnant patient to ensure she is at optimal health during her pregnancy, and we specialize in pre-pregnancy consultations to improve maternal health prior to conception.”
In what ways does the technology you use enhance your patients’ experience at your office?
“We use the latest ultrasound technology, including 3-D/4-D imaging and high-definition imaging, to ensure that every patient feels confident that they’ve had the best diagnostic imaging available. Patients can watch the entire ultrasound on a large, easy-to-view screen and then take home a DVD to enjoy the ultrasound again with friends and family.”
