Venos Kenneth G MD

I’d been dealing with at ‘weak’ ankle for many many years. It was easily sprained if I even turned wrong. Dr Venos determined that I had a frayed tendon and surgically corrected it. From the moment he took the cast off, (5 yrs ago!) I’ve not had even the tiniest of issues with it. And the scar is so perfect (about 5″ long) that you have to really look to see it!
I wish I’d encountered him years before…

I had Dr. Venos perform ankle/​foot surgery on me back in 2003. For the next several years, I was in mild to severe pain. One toe is now completely numb and in pain, and the top and left side of my foot always feels like it is «asleep» and is numb and tingling. I don’t like dealing with doctors to begin with, so I put off doing something about this until just a few months ago. Yes, 7 years later. I was able to obtain my original surgery report, MRI, and x-​ray that Dr. Venos used to «diagnose» my condition.
Well guess what I just learned? I discovered that he needlessly cut into my foot, and once inside there, he did NOTHING — absolutely nothing. The two podiatrists I have seen are shocked by what they have seen. The scar from where he cut into my foot is completely at the wrong angle, and goes against the basic rule of cutting in-​line with the foot so as not to cross any nerves and cause damage (which is what I learned I now have). I was in a cast from my foot up to my groin for almost 2 months, and the two podiatrists that are reviewing my case are perplexed by this — -they can not figure out or understand why this was done.
The bottom line is this… I am in pain for life now, because Dr. Venos performed a surgery that was not necessary. Once he opened me up, he did nothing anyway! The report, in his own words, essentially says that he did nothing. But what he said to me in my follow-​up appointment is TOTALLY the opposite of what the surgery report says. And since this happened 7 years ago, what can I do? My guess is probably zilch, zero, nada! So instead, I at least want to let fellow Unilocalers know about this guy. It’s about all I can do. Feel free to contact me with any questions — I have absolutely nothing to hide, with all documentation and pictures (MRI, X-​Ray) to back it up. Dr. Venos has nothing to back up his side of the story.

Medical Service for sports bone and muscular injury:
I was Referred to Dr. Kenneth G. Venos for a midfoot injury double sprained left foot at the toes all five and the ankle sprained also.
He had the sprains x-​rayed and in five minutes he had my foot diagnosed
from one x-​ray. He determined what my primary had taken 3 ½ months
and two bottles of major pain meds HAD NOT, Ken said exactly the foot was a mid foot multiple fracture with full dislocation of the all three midffoot bones out of the joint. My primary had me working on pain meds for 3 months and a half 14 weeks on major vicoden and narco pain killers
while he tested and heard from me I could stand no more pain no more
With five minutes and the same x-​rays taken by the first doctor my primary
Kenneth Venos saw the fractures and the bones out of the joint midfoot and showed me I had a Charcot foot the bones had failed out of the joint the sprain was so bad I had forced the bones out the foot just under the skin and the pain of the spot the bones came from out of were like walking on rocks inside of the foot
My own bones and where they came out of the foot was grinding together
since the foot had squashed bone on bone and cracked as I walked on it for the three and half months. I had trusted my primary to work with his medical knowledge but he was no good. I then second opioned with
Dr Kenneth G. Venos and he was my godsend he had my broken foot
in a cast and on the mend within 30 minutes and he had properly diagnosed my midffoot fracture isolated the fracture. With a full leg casting and a foot isolation race. Made me feel a whole lot better and saved my foot. Best doctor in the pleasanton group
Tri –Valley sports medicine & Orthopedics. A doctor I would recommend
for his knowledge and expertise he knows how to relieve a broken bone
pain. My primary is whacked. Switched primary immediate after my trip
from being cared for by a real caring and knowledgeable doctor
I left my primary who I wont name unless you want to know send me a message and Ill tell you his name if you want to know to avoid him
when your medical insurance HMO or PPO makes you change doctors
you dont want my old primary thats for sure. The doctor to see for sports
medicine fractures or injuries is Dr Kenneth G. Venos simply the best.
