Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very caring and conscientious doctor. Highly recommend

Dr. Mena doesn’t follow local county requirements to wear a mask. He tried to get me to remove mine bc he doesn’t seem to believe in Covid. He acted he was a good listener, but he kept interrupting me. Oh, and no debit cards are accepted. Come on, it’s 2020, and I just want to pay with my health benefits card.

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!
