I was completely disregarded with my comcerns of symptoms and felt chastised because I was not currently having a flare. No history was reviewed because he took one glance and said, “that’s just too much!” I was then told he sees people that “can’t walk,” and was very dismissive of my photo diary of facial flares and handed me a sheet to read on a positive ANA not meaning anything; my PCP referred me because an allergist had already ruled out any allergic reaction! He proceeded to order a complete ANA panel when I was reduce... read more

No. He acted like I was a bother to him. Barely let me get questions out. I had to drag info from him. Not a pleasant demeanor

Very poor visit. I was referred to this specialist by four physicians who thought I need to see him. He acted as if I was referred to him for no reason. Basically saying why was I there for today's visit. Very disheartening and I have decided to walk away from the clinic as a whole after this encounter. I am still having the same issues and symptoms that garnered the referrals I received. Yet no answer. I feel like I have wasted plenty of money and time to end up with the definitive answer.

Was first seen by a young PA or Med student. He made me feel humiliated about my weight. I was there for reasons beyond my weight, but he kept staring at my stomach and referring back to my weight about everything. Dr. Mena did not seem interested in why I was there. I was referred to his office by my Primary Care. I would not recommend nor will I ever return to his office.

I was late because of traffic so it was understandable that I had to wait a while to see him since he had other patients but when I tried to explain why I was having problems and with what I was having them with he really condescending about the whole thing and dismissive about my symptoms and his attitude towards me basically told me he thought I was being over dramatic about my pain when I wasn’t I don’t know if he was having a bad day or what but my appointment was horrible with him.

He was rude, argumentative about changing his gloves and he mumbled incessantly. He was late to work and he felt I ( a new patient) should reschedule even though I was already there. He has zero bedside manner and extremely callous regarding my concerns

The scheduler was very rude to me. I had to speak to her supervisor. Dr. Mena’s nurse was mediocre at best. Dr. Mena himself was fine. He took time with me & then I had an appointment with an orthopedic Dr. Dr. Mena had told me to get back in touch with his office after I saw the orthopedic which I did. Dr Menas nurse said she did not have info from the orthopedic. I waited several days & Dr Menas nurse told me the same thing. I asked if she could look on my record & she said no, it had to be faxed. It’s been a week & still ... read more

Staff was very helpful and very time efficient. They were very attentive to me. However, my opinion of Dr Mena is not a very good opinion. But because of his age, and his years of being a doctor. I don't feel as if a very descriptive explanation of the examination would make much of a difference. Overall, not a terrible opinion of the visit. But not a very good one.
