Dr. Edward Michna, MD

I, like another woman read the reviews and was a little nervous to see him. I am so glad I did! I loved his personality! Acts the same way I probably do as a cashier. He's heard it all and he tells you the way it is! He was great to me and I got an epidural after being in excruciating pain over 7 months! He's the only doctor who has worked for me! Don't pay any attention to the negative reviews! Sincerely, Ann O'Callaghan

Did not introduce himself, gruff, no interest in me, the patient.

I have been seeing Dr. Michna for over 6 weeks and he hasn't relieved my pain. . I feel that he has no compassion. At my previous visit I agreed his resident could inject me. He was supervising him closely with great concentration and interest).He seems more interested in teaching them than in caring for me. Fellows and residents do all the preliminary work except for giving the patient the diagnosis and presenting me with treatment choices. Then he just comes in for 5 minutes. At my latest visit he told me I hadn't been injected in the right place, so I needed more shots. I want to be fair -- after X-rays were take at the previous visit I decided to opt for the shots rather than take an MRI first. Otherwise I would have had to wait through two more weeks of bad pain to get shots. He had never suggested anything to take to relieve my pain.) Ihad beeb warned by a former patient not to let him leave until he'd answered my questions, but while I was taking a note of one of his… answers he slipped out the door without a further word and some of my questions remained unanswered.

maybe spends 30 seconds to one minute talking with his fellow, not his patient. professionally inappropriate to yell from hallway what he thinks. no communication. worst doctor ever seen. go elsewhere.

In the three months under his care, he finally repeated an MRI which he could have done early on, and offered no pain relief nor treatments. During that time I saw him once weekly to e/o week. Dr. Michna came in to see me for one minute and during my final visit with him, he spoke from the HALLWAY (HIPPAA), suggesting I get a surgical consult. He never specified whether it was an ortho or neuro consult. Lab work was done, and the nurse and my internist interpreted results. He was unprofessional, uncommunicative, and I may make a complaint to the Board of Medicine for his behavior. I have lost months of possible treatment.

This doctor seems not to care about anything you say. He doesn't acknowledge messages sent to him. He left me with a shortage of medication because he gleefully suggested I take more Gabapentin (for neuropathy). I took his suggestion especially after he said he would write a new prescription. When I needed a new prescription they wrote the wrong dosage. I told him the insurance company would not fill the prescription because the 30 days were not up. He had his Assistant write another prescription. Dah! I still can't get the new prescription. He didn't hear a word I said. I will now be 2 weeks without my medication for my feet. He spends no time with the patient. This was a big waste of time. STAY AWAY

Dr. Edward Michna was assigned as my pain management doctor. Not only does he have no empathy for my pain but he also tried to push Gabapentin on me. I increased my dosage of Gapapentin while expecting him to refill my prescription when needed. Well that was a joke. Insurance's will not fill a prescription if the month has not expired. Plus when the prescription was filled, the dosage was wrong. To make a long story short, I am left in pain and days without Gabapentin for my neuropathy. STAY AWAY!

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. I found this to be one of the most disappointing appointments I had a very long time. If you're looking to get treated by someone at a pain clinic stay away from this gentleman, your time being pain-free is more valuable than his attitude offered. What a terrible demeanor in way to treat people

Never did a physical exam of any kind. Unwilling to discuss issues with medication he prescribed or alternatives. Very egotistical. Longest face to face time was less than 5 minutes and I saw him for 9 months. Stay away

After 5 visits I am done! He should not be allowed to practice medicine, I saw him probably a total of 2 minutes cumulatively in the 5 visits. Each time I was questioned by the fellow and asked "what can we help you with?" And answered the same exact list of questions each time; which all pertained to my medical history which is documented in my records! After having a extremely adverse reaction to a medication he gave me I called their office for advice and waited eight hours to hear back from the nurse who then couldn't offer any help or suggestions and seemed like she didn't care ! The whole experience has been a true nightmare & I was never helped. I am truly astonished that the Brigham & Women's Hospital employs such a low life clown of a doctor and human being . DO NOT SEE HIM AS YOUR DOCTOR!!
