0 stars! Several years ago, my mother was to have surgery (with Mena) for pancreatitis, which she suffered after gall bladder surgery, done by Dr Mena. Reading abt the surgery, we became concerned, & my mom called to postpone her surgery until she could look into it. Dr. Mena called her back & said that without it she would die & it "wouldn't be pretty." Went to UAB. Learned that WITH that surgery, she could have died. The pancreatitis resolved itself. Don't let this man touch your loved one!

My 84 year old mother was referred to Dr Mena in 2004 by her gynecologist after a mammogram and biopsy confirmed that she had a small lump in one of her breast diagnosed as cancer.
When my mom told me that she was referred to a surgeon/Dr Mena and he had told her that she needed to have her breast removed I told my mom that we needed to get second opinion before she had her breast removed. She said she was afraid to tell the surgeon afraid he would be mad at her. I told her not to worry that I would go with her to see him and let him know we were going to get a second opinion.
Before I had a chance to tell Dr Mena him why I was there with my mom he said that he suggested both breast should be removed and said if it were his mother he would remove both.
I advised him that I was there to let him know that we were going to get a second opinion and he immediately started dialing the phone and acted as if he were talking to another surgeon and hung up and said the doc he just spoke with agreed with his recommendation.
I told him I was not sure who or if he talked with anyone and that I was going to pursue another specialist for a second opinion.
I sought a referral from a friend that had breast cancer and they recommended Dr Witherspoon for a second opinion which did not recommmend breast removal and removed the small cancerous area of my mom's breast. No radiation or chemo and she has been monitoring my mothers breast with yearly mammograms for the last 13 years and there have been no signs of cancer!! My mom has enjoyed the last 13 years cancer free.
I hope the experience My mom and I had will encourage others to seeek a SECOND opinion before any surgery!!!

Horrible doctor with a complete lack of human compassion and care for his patients. I had an emergency appendectomy in August of 2015. He sent me home with gaping holes in my abdomen because "You are too fat and will rip this stitches anyway". Those are the exact words this doctor told me. He has since been reported to memorial and the medical board because of his horrific bedside manner. Run away from this doctor!!

Absolutely horrible doctor! I am 70 lbs overweight and had an appendectomy. He didn't stitch my incisions or even cover them when sending me home. His reason behind it was "Fat people tend to bust their stitches anyway". He said these words to me. Horrible.

Wait times always over an hour and has an exceedingly rude receptionist who talks in a very condescending manner. Receptionist will talk a lot when you ask questions but never actually answers the question and then rolls her eyes at you when you ask for clarification. Doctor has no ability to empathize with you. Has a nice general manner but nice isn't what sets you apart.
