Dr. Sarah Elizabeth Renze, MD

The greatest thing about Dr. Renze is her willingness to do research. She does not rely on her retained knowledge and is willing to think things through and, if necessary, review pertinent research to find the correct diagnosis. Dr. Renze consults with other physicians at the clinic and thoroughly reviews every patient's medical history and file.

Plays games. I came to Dr. Renze for continued care for my panic disorder, anxiety, depression and fibro. She flat out refused to have a med filled for me. She repeatedly cross examined me about my occasional use of Ativan, implying that I use it to get "high". I go through about 30 tablets a year and use it when I cannot control my panic attacks by other means, ie, I try other things and it has been a last resort med for me. Finally she agreed to refill the script. When I went to pick up my meds, the script was not there. My pharmacy called in to request the script on my behalf. The script was then sent to a different pharmacy in an entirely different town. I had to drive 40 miles to pick it up. As far as bedside manner, she acts like she could care less.

She always gives me the absolute best experience, I couldn't be happier. I can't say enough about how great her and her whole team at McFarland are.

I was seeing Dr. Sarah Renze, for the past two years. She was alright at first, but as time went on, I realized she has an extremely dry non-caring personality and is totally against any prescription medications. I was first prescribed Xanax back in 1999 for panic attacks. It works for me and had never had an issue getting it refilled until Dr. Renze. She refused to refill my Xanax and anytime I was due for any other refills, it would take between one to two weeks for her to approve them. I don't think she's suited to be a doctor and if she continues to be one, I would give a recommendation for people to avoid her completely!

No bedside manor. Doesn't listen to what patients are actually saying, lies about and/or is ignorant of basic reproductive health treatments, loses patience with patients who are unable to respond to questions when in pain (pain inflicted by her), unable to read simple X-Rays, dismisses obvious health concerns unrelated to weight if patient is overweight. Office staff, while courteous, are incompetent.

Dr. Renze is my favorite doctor. She has an excellent bedside manner. She is professional and very personable. I would recommend her.
