I had 2 autoimmune problems which he caught on the initial follow up visit and got me to a specist quickly. This saved me from a excruciating pain. He and his staff treats me better than family. He gives the real meaning of family doctor.

As a nurse I have my pick of the doctors, I trust Dr Schenk to treat me and my family as he would his own. It is wonderful to deal with only one doctor not a large group of docs. His office staff are also caring and professional. Would highly recommend Dr Schenk.. He is always calm and reassuring and comforting in times of crisis.
