About me

Welcome, and thank you for taking an interest in getting to know more about my practice! My name is Dr. Manuel Tu, and I am eager to work with you to develop a comprehensive care plan for all stages of life. As a family medicine physician, I am committed to ensuring you thrive.

Biography

Healthcare has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am one of many in my family that have chosen to dedicate their lives to helping others through medicine. Born and raised in the Philippines, I worked hard to go to college and become a registered nurse (RN). After a year as a nurse, I took the step to go to medical school at the University of the City of Manila in the Philippines and became a physician in 2002. After practicing there for almost a decade, I migrated to the United States in 2012 and worked as an RN before being accepted by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program in Bakersfield for my internship and residency. Since joining Kaiser Permanente in Kern County, I am ready to continue meeting the healthcare needs of our diverse community.

About my practice

I was always drawn to family medicine because it uniquely positions me to assist members through every milestone of life. From taking care of newborns and pregnancy to navigating the changes brought on by age, every stage of life deserves equal, quality, and affordable healthcare. It is so fulfilling to be able to extend a helping hand to members, especially those with chronic wounds, complex medical conditions, and hospice/palliative care needs. As your physician, I want to foster an environment of open communication and collaborative life planning. I am more than willing to extend a helping hand to all members that need my help.

How I thrive

Nothing helps me thrive more than balancing work with the love and strength showered on me by family. I am blessed with a supportive and beautiful wife and 2 wonderful children. Family time keeps me centered, and we love to take road trips to visit different national parks together with our dog — a lovely corgi. I also enjoy cooking, doing housework, and watching movies.
