My ankle is still hurting from Schena’s misdiagnosis in 2008. I begged this guy to give me an MRI and he wouldn’t, insisting it was a sprain. It turned out I had a fractured subtalar joint. His inaction caused the joint to heal incorrectly and by the time I was able to see another ankle specialist, it was too late to correct it. Pain every day and a huge blister which forms on the lateral right heel when I walk, play handball, or try to run. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from Dr. Anthony Schena. Don’t be impressed by... read more

most untrustworthy doctor that I've ever known. Very selfish and does not seem to care about the patient's well-being at all. If you read through a lot of the reviews about him online, you will find that a lot of people are having similar problems of him not caring about his patient's well being. I honestly don't know why he's still in practice. He clearly is not qualified to perform surgeries on anyone. If you don't want your body to be messed DO NOT COME HERE!

Dr. Schena is a terrible surgeon that completed ruined my knee with a failed ACL graft. I am now getting an ACL reconstruction at a new facility with a much better surgeon to fix all the mistakes Dr. Schena made. I now have to get 2 surgeries to get my acl fixed again. The first surgery is to fill the whole in my tibia because the acl that Dr. Schena put in dissolved due to misplacement of the tunnel and infection. 1) He misplaced the tunnel for my graft. 2) He used biodegradable screws and st

His behavior is selfish, negligent, emotionally immature, and evasive. He has poor communication skills. I was his patient for a year. Him and a Specialist he referred me to made a decision for me regarding my care without my consent, he cancelled an appointment on me without my consent, lied about it, and only apologized once office management uncovered the truth. His behavior improved short-term then he went right back to behaving badly. He did not return an urgent call I had for weeks.

Not at all impressed. I specifically selected Dr. Schena because he was highly rated AND because he lists "Gait Issues" as one of his specialities. I explained the problems I was having with my gait; he had me walk about 15 feet down the hall and back; looked at my x-ray and told me to stop running. That was it! No exercises; no plan; nothing. I actually did stop running for 6 months -- and nothing has changed.

I went to Dr. schena as he was recommended to me by a client. I needed a 2nd opinion for an accident that happened 1 month prior. He diagnosed my injury by 100lbs dog as OsteoArthritis. I asked seriously, what is it going to take to get an MRI? He said I didn't need one because he knew it was my OA, I went to another Dr part of the Emerson Hospital and they agreed that an MRI would tell us more, and it did. I had a turn MCL for 7months with little to no improvement.

I came in on a refferal from my primary care doctor because she believed I had a torn meniscus. At the appointment I was referred to get and MRI and was told I would get my results quickly. When I called for my results they told me I had to wait a month to get them when I come in to see the doctor. When I persisted saying that wasn't unacceptable they told me my MRI was normal. My knee is still swollen and I don't know what is wrong. Made an appointment with another doctor.
