Dr. Edward Michna, MD

I was a patient of Dr. Michna for several years. I heard constant conflicting information as the years went on. He only peaks his head in for 5 seconds and has a student or fellow talk with you. He’s been unprofessional and and has been detrimental to my overall health.

Don't waste your time here.

Just bad. avoid

Twice I had an appt. scheduled for a cervical epi shot. Both times his office called to cancel because Dr. Michna didn't submit his notes to the insurance campany so the treatment never got approved. He had been emailed several times from his staff to do it, but no response. A huge waste of time, shame on him!

Dr. Michna spent 1 to 3 minutes with me for weeks. He had a different resident read the previous week's note. He offered no treatment and broke HIPPA regularly by walking the hallways with patient doors open and talking. I considered reporting him to The Board.

Terrible

I've taken my mother to see Dr. Michna several times including just recently. He is always professional, engaging and takes the time to listen, consult and suggest the best course of action. He exhibits sensitivity and care towards my mother and we really appreciate his approach or demeanor.

This doctor is horrible- AVOID AT ALL COSTS. No empathy, no kindness and just plain rude. Looks at you as though you are wasting his time. I can’t believe he works in pain and hospice, what has the world come to. Please, avoid at all costs or you will regret it. And you will feel worse about your situation.

Rude and very insensitive. After I met with the fellow, Michna came in basically announcing to me that he considered my pain situation not worthy of his time. He made the decision to simply announce to me that my situation was basically hopeless without trying at all to find out what my goals or hopes might be for pain relief. I am a registered nurse and he spoke to me like I was a simpleton. He’s a jerk and I don’t know why he works at such an esteemed institute such as Brigham and Women’s. Don’t waste your time.

Saw his fellow for most of the appointment. Saw Michna for about 5 minutes. Spends no time with you.

Stay alway. Not sympathetic, interested, a listener, professional at all. I wrote a complaint to his boss and the head of the pain clinic and sadly no one responded to my letters. Hopefully taking it to the next level helps. I shouldn’t have to live the rest of my life with pain for hours and hours. I deserve to be hear.

Not helpful. Cortisone shot in my back was administered by a resident. He was there "observing" but didn't seem interested. The shot provided no relief. In follow up, he offered no other real alternatives and didn't show much interest. He has a lot of degrees - pharmacist, law, medicine, but in my view, he is not effective in the role of pain doctor.

Horrible egotistical insensitive. Why would such a jerk want to care for those in chronic pain when he has no compassion or empathy towards his patients? Just seems to be here for the money. He has a small, nonfunctioning amygdala. Avoid avoid avoid.

Had an appointment today, 30 minutes late being seen, I was very clear about my pain which I've been treated at a different Pain Clinic for 18 years. He asked me to point to my pain I did, he told me I was incorrect, did not examine me at all, my appointment lasted less than 90 seconds . He sent me for X-ray and said get your Med records. Thanks for the exam. Now waiting 10 days to follow up with a different doc at this office. He appears a Doc with an ego, not sensitive or able to communicate
