Dr. Andrew Edward Schwentker, MD

Dr. Schwentker was my physician. I made an urgent appointment for excruciating back pain. He refused to order any imaging and instead required 6 weeks of physical therapy. So I went to PT and they said they were not comfortable treating me since it was obviously nerve pain. When I reported this to Dr. Schwentker he again insisted I complete 6 weeks of physical therapy before he would order imaging. I went to another physician who immediately ordered an MRI which showed a herniated disc. The neurosurgeon said I was lucky I didn't have permanent loss of use of my foot due to the delay in surgery. I don't know if Dr. Schwentker is in the pocket of an insurance company, but his motivation is certainly not the best interest of the patient.

Withholds antibiotics with my health history, does not listen to me and my needs. He is in control of my meds

I have been with Dr. Schwentker for several years. He sees me once per year for a wellness checkup and run all the necessary tests. He goes over those tests with you and listens to any concerns. I've never waited more than 20 minutes in this office to be seen. When I have had to call the office and speak to his nurse, I've always been called back within a few hours. While Dr. Schwentker has many patients, he always greets me like he's a personal friend.
