Dr Senall was just wonderful. He explained my foot issue in detail in a very thoughtful, patient manner and made sure to address all my questions. I know two of his previous patients and they both are extremely pleased with their surgical outcomes. I feel Dr Senall is very highly experienced and qualified and he really put me at ease considering this surgery is fairly involved and will require 10 weeks of non-weight bearing for my foot.

I stated it all in the first question. Jeffrey Senall does not care about people. He is rude and doesn’t even look at the injury. He doesn’t answer questions and walks off while I am speaking. I get one minute with him and he leaves. There is much more I said in the first question regarding this.

Dr. is knowledgeable and compassionate. This was a second opinion appointment. The Edward Elmhurst orthopedic I was sent to by my GP gave me one option: ankle fusion which would further limit mobility. Dr. Senall gave me several options of things we could try prior to surgery. He also indicated replacement would be a better option than fusion as mobility is not reduced and recovery is easier. Even though my ankle isn’t fixed, I feel optimistic. Thank you, Dr. Senall!
