I am so grateful to Dr Schenk, who operated on my wrist, after a bad surgery I had five months before by a different "doctor." I have regained my range of motion and strength and the fracture healed perfectly.

I would highly recommend Dr Schenk for surgery. I had a bad break in my ankle and have had excellent results. He was patient with me and answered all my questions. If I was concerned about any other issues he was right on it. The staff was great and always took my questions.

I've had a great experience with Dr Schenk and the staff at the office. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Dr Schenk operated on my ankle that was in pretty bad shape after falling during a snow storm. I'm super grateful he was able to put in back together.

Dr. Schenk operated on my wrist emergently Super Bowl Sunday. He was extremely professional, caring and answered all my questions/concerns without hesitation. I would HIGHLY recommend him. The aftercare that he and his office staff provided was excellent.

Dr, Schenk is an excellent surgeon. I have had excellent results from two different surgeries on my left leg for two different issues. One was a highly complex 3 1/2 hour surgery. He is always compassionate and caring. He is genuinely interested in how I am doing. He takes time to answer my questions. The staff is very friendly. They have always been very accommodating when I need an appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Schenk.

Worst doctor ever. I would have given him zero stars. We couldn’t decide which doctor to use for my girlfriends ankle. Since we took too long make decision the dr signed off and said he won’t do it. What an un-ethical piece of garbage.

Waited a day and a half to see him when hospitalized. He spent about 5 minutes with me, Looked at my hip x-rays, Told me I didn't need surgery. Initially forgot to look at elbow x-rays. Left his assistant to put a splint on my arm, Sent me a bill for almost $4,000. Doctors like this are the reason health care costs are out of control in this country. Avoid him. Office staff are rude beyond belief. Avoid this practice.

I would only like to step into this doctors office to inconvenience him the way that he inconveniences his patients because he clearly has no idea what he's doing. he repeatedly sent his patient to my office for X-rays that were for everything but what was needed for the patient who is in a great deal of pain. then was extremely rude and hung up on me when I called him for a corrected script. absolutely absurd.
