About The Provider
As the son of an orthopedic surgeon and a nurse, Stephen Manale, MD, FACS, general surgeon at Our Lady of the Lake Ascension, says that healthcare is simply in his genes.
After earning his medical degree from the Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Dr. Manale completed his residency in general surgery at the University of South Alabama School of Medicine. Today, he enjoys practicing medicine in the intimate setting of Our Lady of the Lake Ascension.
When he is not focused on his surgical practice, Dr. Manale spends time performing outpatient wound care. Having completed his surgical training at the University of South Alabama, a regional burn center, he is uniquely trained in wound management.
Dr. Manale enjoys traveling when not practicing medicine. Before COVID-19, he spent two weeks in Italy soaking in the sights, sounds and flavors of his Italian roots. Dr. Manale also likes to exercise, garden, play the guitar and go to concerts when he can.

Dr. Manale is an educated, compassionate, and kind provider who is invested in my care as his patient. He takes the time to explain both problems and potential solutions with regard to my health. I appreciate having a doctor who is equally knowledgable and passionate about patient care.
