Dr. Christopher Lena, MD

Extremely knowledgeable, well informed and caring doctor. Spends time listening and answering any of your questions. This is a polite, caring and concerning doctor and I highly recommend him. On top of that he has a very polite and responsive office staff. . If you have an issue, this is a physician you want to visit.

Run away and find a different doctor! He was very fast talking and was just trying to get to the next patient. He said he was going to order an MRI. I had to call them for weeks just to try to get them to actually order the MRI. When the insurance denied it, the office never called me back to tell me. I had to call them several times to see if they were going to schedule a peer to peer. They said they were going to but that was 3 months ago. Now the billing called me for a 40 copay. I guess they only call you back if you owe them money. I seen a different Dr and he did the peer to peer with in 2 weeks. Read Dr Lean’s reviews… I’m glad he didn’t do his job because a lot of people are unhappy with his surgeries.

This doctor spent less than 5 minutes with me. He clearly decided he wasn't going to get to do an interesting surgery and dismissed me. He did not answer any questions, and I am not confident he spent enough time with me to even understand my symptoms. This is the worst bedside manner I have seen, and I have been to many doctors recently. Find another doc.

He operated on me for a supposedly routine surgery, I had a serious complication and he basically refused to listen and blamed me for not doing well. When he finally reoperated he left me with an unstable joint without any reasonable course of action. In fact every time I spoke with him he recommended something different. He is arrogant and self serving and a really poor physician....I believe his major concern is money not patient care and he should not be taking care of patients.

Horrible! I went in for shoulder pain due to a fall had X-Rays and told me it was frozen shoulder and sent me for PT, I told him my shoulder felt different than Frozen Shoulder he sent me for an MRI and bet it was frozen shoulder I went back to see him to review my MRI scan he used his powerful medical terms told him please explain in lame terms he said you have a tear and because you can't move it it's developed to Frozen Shoulder and said I was not surgery indicated and released me for PT what for the tear to become more extensive and then you will perform surgery he was happy when I said that I also told him he lost his bet b/c he thought it was just a frozen shoulder he walked out and said I am sorry you are feeling this way but I can't help you.. horrible bed side manner and very cocky!

I was in severe pain in my shoulder and they took me in quickly There was calcium in my shoulder and he quickly improved my pain He is the best

Dr. Lena came into the room talking, using clinical terms the average person wouldn’t know or understand. He showed me the mri results, asked me one question, offered a ridiculous suggestion (deep tissue massage with a tennis ball... really!?). He was in the room less than 5 minutes out of which he spent most of the time talking instead of listening. Take it from me... go to someone who actually cares about their patients.

Great staff and an awesome Surgical experience. I felt comfortable and confident with the entire team

Excellent experience Takes time to explain things in office and website helps alot

I had a hip labral repair done by Dr. Lena & dealing with his staff - Anne Marie & Karen - was the biggest medical nightmare I've ever experienced in my life. They scheduled my surgery so I filled out medical leave paperwork for work & took time off. A week before my surgery no one even bothered to call me so I phoned in to be told they had "forgotten to put it in the computer." EVERY step of the way was a struggle like this & i switched surgeons so I'll never have to deal with his staff again!!

While Dr Lena may not be as personable as other physicians I had a partial knee replacement that was perfectly done and that is what’s important to me. His PA Paul is excellent and when I had Nerve issues they were very attentive and took me very seriously. The office staff is great and I never waited long for my appointments.

Excellent doctor!

I had heard great things about this doctor and I was not disappointed. He made me feel comfortable and he seeed very knowledgeable. He took time to explain everything to me!!

Awesome experience. I am back on the field

I can't even begin to tell you how upset I am and now that I am reading other reviews, I see I am not alone. I have a tear in my hip that likely happened 4 months ago (I'm in my early 20s). Today, I can hardly walk and the pain is agonizing. I was desperate for help. He went over my MRI using terminology I did not understand, handed me pamphlets, and basically showed me the door. I actually went after him continuing to ask my questions. His overall suggestion? Foam rolling, call back in a month.

Worst doctor I have seen in a long time! I went to his office on several occasions. The first time he told me to stretch and I would be fine. The next time I went, I had to beg him for a cortisone shot. I had an MRI and he didn't find a tear. He told me to continue to stretch. I went to another Doctor who did find the tear. He rushes you and spends no time with you. Would never recommend him.

A good surgeon but will not remember who you are or take the time to actually talk and listen to you. Had several surgeries hip and knee with this practice and doc to each time be told I needed a procedure that they refused to do. Left this group to go to another doc who would actually listen to what patients want and need. The wait times were always long and it feels like he is pusheong from patient to patient just to get everyone seen.

VERY unsatisfied. I heard rave reviews and was excited to meet a great doctor. Unfortunately, he was not as interested. I told him that at age 28 I had been having bad knee pain every day for 10 years. He told me the surgery I had 5 years ago was useless, & he gave me a knee brace for ONE knee (no instructions). I continued to ask questions about next steps, shoes that would help, exercises to do, and Dr. Lena walked out of the exam before I could even finish my sentence...

Awesome overall experience from office visit through surgery and rehab

Seen two times. Shoulder is not better. Dr. Lena does not seem concerned.
