Adam Fenichel's Online Review Report Card

I was VERY disappointed with the lack of medical care and attention that I received when scheduled with Dr Fenichel for a work related injury that was documented as such and on video. He didn’t listen to medical professionals recommendations from prior visits nor my medical records. He disregarded my work injury after I couldn’t do a MRI and the nerve test came back normal and said I reached full recovery when I did not. I couldn’t do a MRI due to safety issues so after months of seeing him and only getting a nerve test and X-ray, his medical opinion was he didn’t know what was wrong. He then reported the work injury as a non-working incident and put me back to full duty while i was still injured without any diagnosis ( other than previous diagnosis from medical professionals), further testing , Restrictions, PT, Meds, Or any kind of medical treatment. This resulted in me losing workers compensation benefits. IMO He’s pro employer vs patient. GET A DIFFERENT DOCTOR!!

This was the most traumatic and worst doctor visit I had. My work comp set it up so I didn’t have a choice of who I saw but anyone would of been better than this doctor. Horrible bedside manner and treated me like I was incompetent. My fingers got injured a month ago and it’s been bad he came in bent my fingers looked at me and said you’re fine as I was shrieking in pain. Never would I recommend him to anyone. I hope someone comes for his license because you should never treat your patients this way. I want to comment reviews on him so I can save other people from what I had to go through.

I had a great experience with Dr. Fenichel. I was referred to his office due to a diagnosis of trigger thumb. He explained the options I had, and I decided to move forward with surgery. The surgery was well explained and it went well. I had minimal scarring so far and was able to bend my thumb right after surgery. His office staff and nurse (Roy) were so amazingly nice. Overall, I had a great experience with Dr. Fenichel!

Dr. Fenichel's bedside manner is less than professional. He kept telling me I was old, which I am and doesn't bother me, but this is not how I expect a professional to act. He could not find my recent MRI, show showed me the one from 9-years ago! I was wanting to see a comparison, he could not provide. He then gave me a shot, which I have had 2 from him in the past; however, this time, it felt like he hit something, he told me to, "hang my arm" and when I did, I almost pasted out! Although I have a high tolerance to pain, never taking pain meds after surgeries, this brought tears to my eyes. It is now days later and I'm still taking Ibuprofen as the pain goes from my neck down to my the middle of my back and down my arm to my elbow! I am not happy as I am in more pain than I was before I went in for my appointment!

We saw Dr. Fenichel when my son suffered a wrist injury. He aligned the bone manually and said it was off slightly but would be fine as he grew. We asked about the next level of treatment to insure it was aligned perfectly. Dr. Fenichel was impatient with questions and not interested in discussing. To question his doctor opinion is unwelcome. He was dismissive and belittled our questions. He said it would be fine. Fast forward over a year later and our son's ulnar was growing out the side of his wrist (Ulnar impaction syndrome). He would require an osteotomy (shortening of his ulnar). We found a wrist specialist out of state who had to open up his forearm, saw out a portion of his bone, and install a plate which remains their today. I wish I had pushed back on the "expert" and shame on him for not listening to his "customer". Would the outcome have changed? I am not sure. Sometimes you get dealt a lousy card. But to not have the chance for the best outcome, that is regrettable.

I had arthroscopy to “ repair” my tfc. Post surgery I was having more pain than before... Dr. Fenichel did not even care to listen. I saw a different doctor and was finally diagnosed correctly all because this new doctor took the time to listen l... further imaging confirmed my suspicion and all the pain I was having finally made sense. So now I have to have yet another surgery!!! I would give 0 stars, please don’t waste your time. Find a different doctor.

As a letter carrier, I went to Jewett late 2018. Early 2019 I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel. Due to uncontrollable circumstances, I was not able to have the surgery on both hands until late 2019. Prior to having the surgery, I had filed a CA2 with my office as a Job Related Illness. I mentioned this on several accounts, verbally, and was never advised to take a different course of action or told to file Workers Comp with Jewett. I didn't file Workers Comp only because I wasn't familiar with the process and didn't need the Post Office to pay for the surgery since I already met my deductible. I eventually received a notice from the Dept.of Labor and they advised me that all they required in addition to the rest of the doctor's records was a statement on how he felt this was job related. Dr. Fenichel, REFUSED to document any such thing. REFUSED to explain how the diagnoses came about. Will not even state that the condition is caused by Frequent, repetitive motion of the hand or wrist. His lack of action is costing me most of my Sick leave and I have an Austistic Epileptic daughter.

I was told to schedule an appt. first thing in the morning to get in and out. Tried this 3 times with the first appt. All 3 times I waited 30 minutes to an hour.

Plan 2 hours for your appt. 1 hour and 50 minutes of waiting....maybe 10 minutes with Dr. Fenichel.
