Dr. Schenendorf and I have developed a very good relationship whereby he understands and appreciates that I will always actively advocate for myself where my health is concerned. He knows from experience that if/when I say something is wrong, then something is wrong, and in turn, he does his best to advocate for me by ordering the necessary tests and referring me to the appropriate specialist(s). I appreciate that he understands that any plans, where my health is concerned, are plans that we fully discuss together and both agree upon. I am not a passive patient, who has nothing worthwhile to contribute to my own diagnostic/treatment plan, and thankfully Dr. Schenendorf recognizes and affirms that. Not all providers do.

Dr. Schenendorf is an excellent physician. He is meticulous. He follows up on care you have had with your other doctors and because he reads EVERYTHING he saved my life after a hospital stay. He saw a report of an aneurysm which led him to order a CT scan which resulted in a recommendation to a vascular surgeon. Dr. Stoner placed a stent in the aorta and did a carotid artery bypass. If Dr. Schenendorf had not carefully read the reports from my recent hospital stay I don't believe I would be here today.

Dr Shenendorf is always great. I've been seeing him for over 5 years as my primary and he's always been a good listener. I feel like he's taken the time to get to know me enough to understand how to handle any concerns better. It's been great to watch him grow as a physician. He's developed a calm confidence and great demeanor. When I come in, I know he's going to help me so I am not afraid, no matter how crappy I feel.

Dr. Shenendorf is great. I also really enjoy the nurse that usually assists him but I have never caught her name (She only did my flu shot this time.) She gets me distracted enough talking about our German Shepherds that I never mind the stuff she has to do. She's really personable while still progressing through the things she needs to accomplish and that puts me at ease.

Dr.Schenendorf is not as emotive as Dr. Anugu was (a very kind, wise, clinically thorough doctor as I've ever had). But he did make sure to ask about whether I felt I had enough support in this challenging time of critical health of a family member. He was thoughtful in not pressing about health issues that I need more motivation to change, in more normal circumstances, that I do want to change. He seems very thorough and thoughtful, just as others have recommended him as being. Looking forward to making progress in improving my health with his help and recommendations.
