No empathy shown. He had no idea what could be wrong with my foot and no advice for care other than a foot pad and stiff shoe. I have tingling which means it could be nerve related. Terrible bedside manner.

Dr Senall is a great doctor. I had him perform 2 other foot surgeries and I am very happy with his work. I would recommend him to any one that is in need of foot surgery. Also, I appreciate that he was able to reschedule me to an earlier time for surgery. The nurse called the day before and told me I was to come in at 2pm for surgery. I was concerned about the late time and not being able to eat because I have acid reflux and I would be all messed up. Dr Senall changed the schedule and I arrived for a 7am surgery. I was so relieved and appreciative that he was able to help me out. Thanks so much.

At this point i am 2 weeks post-op, and I've spoken with Senall really just once at the initial appointment, then briefly before surgery. I don't really care about bedside manner and all that for my situation. But so far as I can tell, he did a fine job repairing my achilles.

My son was referred to a specialist (Jeffrey A. Senall) because of an ongoing foot issue. Unfortunately, all I was told to keep doing what we’ve already been doing and “maybe” the pain will go away. Regarding custom-made insoles Dr. Senall said they “most likely” will not be covered by the insurance, and are “too expensive” ! He juts made the decision for me, that I can’t afford insoles for my child. We were not only disregarded, but also humiliated!

Essentially dismissed everything, even though I have a diagnosis. Didn't look at my chart to know that I have a systemic connective tissue disorder. Suggested doing things that will hurt me due to my disorder (like getting a steroid shot, and not wearing any type of brace at all). Verbally responded like he was listening but then essentially ignored everything I said. And said to come back if I start having symptoms of what I was diagnosed with. Which I do. Which is why I was there in the first place.
