CP Family Network Director


Medical Director Giles Manley

Giles H. Manley, M.D., J.D., F.A.C.O.G.

Dr. Manley brings to the CP Family Network more than 20 years experience in the medical profession. As a Board Certified OB/GYN with well over 2,000 deliveries, he is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of obstetrics. His specialty training was at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), which included a four-month rotation of high risk obstetrics at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Following successful completion of his residency, he served as a faculty instructor at GBMC, as well as maintaining a private practice. In 1996, he left this practice to become the Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Baltimore for the Mid-AAJntic Permanente Medical Group (the physician group of Kaiser Permanente). In addition to serving as OB/GYN Chief, in 2002, he also took on the role of Area Medical Director.

In addition to his extensive obstetrical experience, Dr. Manley also had a particularized interest in gynecologic surgery. His specialty was in the area of minimally invasive procedures. He was the first person at GBMC to perform a laparoscopic supra cervical hysterectomy, as was he the first to perform incontinence surgery utilizing a tension free vaginal tape. Both procedures allowed the patient to go home the day of surgery with only a one to two week recovery. He has lectured to physicians nationwide about these innovative techniques.

Dr. Manley has extensive medical-legal experience, and has served as an expert witness many times in both deposition and trial. He has done this both from a plaintiff and defense perspective.  Because of the medical problems and birth injuries he kept seeing, he decided to one of the best ways to correct the problems was to become a medical legal attorney.  He works of counsel with the nationally known law firm of Med Law Legal Team.

Throughout his medical career, Dr. Manley has served on a number of committees, including; the Obstetrical Advisory Committee at GBMC, the Gynecology Advisory Committee at GBMC, the Obstetrical Quality Review Committee at Kaiser, to mention a few. He is a fellow of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Dr. Manley is a member of the Maryland Bar, and has qualified for membership into both the District of Columbia, and Minnesota Bars. He is also a member of the American Association for Justice, the Maryland Trial Lawyers Association, and the American Bar Association.
