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.

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.

What else would you like to say about your experience?
I saw Mary Schenkel and I felt like she was incredibly dismissive, took no time with me as this was my first time ever being one of her patients, didn't bother to gather any type of background history. I would not recommend her. I thought she was completely unprofessional, completely rude, and quite frankly, I wouldn't recommend anyone to her.

Dr. Schinkle is a top notch ENT… and I’ve seen a whole bunch in my lifetime. She is friendly, knowledgeable, reviews info about you and your last visit before entering the room to see you. She explains things in layman’s language, and presents options for your care. Better hang on to this one!
