Antoun C Manganas, M.D.

Antoun C. Manganas, MD approaches psychiatry with a foundation of respect, collaboration, and an appreciation for the full life story of each person he serves. Mental health does not exist in isolation—it is shaped by medical conditions, relationships, culture, past experiences, and the natural transitions that occur across adulthood and later life. He strives to create a thoughtful, unhurried space where patients feel heard and understood. Care begins with careful listening and comprehensive assessment and a collaborative individualized treatment.

In working with older adults, Dr. Manganas is especially mindful of the complexities of aging. His goal is to support not only symptom relief, but also dignity, autonomy, and quality of life. When appropriate, he partners with families, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated and compassionate care.

Dr. Manganas views psychiatry as both a science and a human relationship, a partnership built on trust, honesty, and compassion. He aims to provide care that is ethical, transparent, and grounded in evidence and guided by empathy—helping patients navigate difficulties while preserving meaning, purpose, and connection.

Dr. Manganas’ professional interests include geriatric psychiatry, consultation-liaison psychiatry, and teaching.

Dr. Manganas is a member of the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the California Medical Association, and the Stanislaus County Medical Association.

Outside of his professional work, Dr. Manganas enjoys gardening and traveling.
