What else would you like to say about your experience?
Dr Shinkel's bedside manner was rude and condescending as if I was a person of low intellectual status. Will not be returning and will seek advice from another physician.

What else would you like to say about your experience?
I was very disappointed. I felt like the doctor was too harried to listen or be understanding. I feel like I wasted my time and money. A d I still have no real answer…just shuffled off for someone else to deal with.

Dr. Schenkel is an excellent ear, nose, and throat specialist. I have seen her several times and have found her to be very competent, very professional, and very concerned to give me the best treatment possible. I would highly recommend her. She was recommended to me by my prior physician. So Dr. Schenkel is an outstanding physician, and I would recommend her to anyone that needs treatment with ear, nose, and throat issues.

Apr 15, 2026
What else would you like to say about your experience?
Not the level of understanding I expected. I am sure many patients are not familiar with the basics of their own medical issues, but it felt a touch condescending to be told basic things about issues I’ve lived with for decades.

What else would you like to say about your experience?
I found MS to be not very personable. She would ask me a question. If I didn't answer good enough , she responded as though as Iwasunintelligent. I felt she was in a hurry.
