Get to know Surgeon Dr. Deborah Manjoney, who serves patients in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. 

Board-certified thoracic surgeon, Dr. Manjoney, is the Founder and Medical Director of Wisconsin Vein Center & MediSpa in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, which she opened in 2002.

Wisconsin Vein Center & MediSpa is a physician-owned and operated facility dedicated to providing the most effective treatments and products available with the highest standard of care. Dr. Manjoney and her experienced team offer state-of-the-art non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures in the Milwaukee area medical spa that actually give patients’ results that they may have thought were unattainable or only achieved by costly plastic surgery. Their specialties include treatments targeting lines and wrinkles, texture and tone, volume loss and facial contours, veins, and body contouring, all of which are designed to improve patients’ skin and enhance their overall appearance and comfort.

A recognized leader in office-based treatment of varicose veins, Dr. Manjoney has performed over 2,500 endovenous laser ablation of saphenous veins and over 8,000 ambulatory phlebectomy and sclerotherapy procedures. She was the first female surgeon to bring the “medispa” concept to the area, and although it was difficult to leave a high-powered career as a heart surgeon, she saw a need for the services she now offers. Her vision was to offer premium care in a state-of-the-art facility that had a comfortable, calming environment.

The doctor’s model of excellence is continually implemented through offering the best training and education for her staff.  Her high standards are evidenced by her expert staff and the quality of care she offers her patients. She provides the most advanced medical and aesthetic treatments and has a strong desire to continue helping women and men to feel great. Recognizing the need for helping women manage and overcome perimenopausal symptoms, hormone imbalance, as well as sexual and bladder issues, she joined forces with Dr. Joi Davis, formerly of Age Defy Wisconsin. This portion of the center offers bioidentical hormone therapy, FemiLift treatments, and more.

Pertaining to her educational background, Dr. Manjoney earned her medical degree from the Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine at The University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont in 1978. She was elected to the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha National Medical Honor Fraternity in her third year, and was the recipient of the Senior Surgical Research Award. She completed an internship, residency, and chief residency in general surgery at the University of Vermont Medical Center before pursuing and finishing an additional residency in thoracic surgery at the University of Chicago.

She then served as Assistant Professor of Surgery at the State University of New York in Brooklyn and as Chief of Thoracic Surgery at the Kings County Hospital from 1986 to 1990. She subsequently worked as an attending Cardiothoracic Surgeon in Erie, Pennsylvania before moving to the Milwaukee area in 1992.

Once in Wisconsin, Dr. Manjoney served as a Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeon on staff at several area hospitals in both Milwaukee and Waukesha for over 10 years, with an active practice until 2004. That is when she left her hospital practice to devote all her medical efforts to the treatment of varicose vein disease and performance of minimally-invasive aesthetic procedures.

With years of experience in her field, Dr. Manjoney has been a speaker at regional and national conferences on the subject of heart disease in women and a nationally-sponsored educator of physicians on laser therapy of varicose veins. She has lectured extensively to audiences on local, national and international levels,  and has been featured in magazines, news articles, radio and television. She continues to educate the public on both medical and aesthetic procedures through regular appearances on The Morning Blend television show and through lectures at colleges and local seminars. She is a firm believer in educating the public on taking charge of their own health and well-being.

Honored as a pioneer in both business and medicine, she received the Milwaukee Business Journal’s prestigious Entrepreneur “Woman of Influence” Award in June of 2009. She was also cited as the “Nurses’ Choice” for Best Cardiothoracic Surgeon in The Milwaukee Magazine, and listed as a “Top Doc” in the January 2013 edition of M magazine in the area of vascular surgery.

A Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Manjoney remains a member of several professional organizations, including the American Vein and Lymphatic Society, the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery, American Medical Spa Society, and the National Association of Professional Women. She was board-certified in surgery by the American Board of Surgery, in thoracic surgery by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, and is a diplomate of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine.  She also is a Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation.

Her current appointments include being a preceptor/lecturer for Dornier Med Tech, and editorial board member for Vein Therapy News and Luminary for Alma Lasers. Moreover, she has been extensively published in a variety of medical publications, including Phlebology, The American Journal of Surgery, The Journal of Surgical Research, and The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery.

Among her philanthropic endeavours, Dr. Manjoney has served on the Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital Foundation Board. She is an active sponsor and participant of the Go Red for Women movement of the American Heart Association and she is a supporter of many local and national charities.

In her personal life, Dr. Manjoney resides in Nashotah with her husband, Dr. Scott Stanwyck, an orthopedic surgeon. She has two adult children, Cole and Lauren. She credits her family as her motivation to change careers and is appreciative of the love and support they have given her.
