I was a patient of Dr. Schnakenberg's for over 20 years. I had often found him dismissive and lacking in listening and attention skills. But I stuck with him because he knew me. However I recently recommended to my wife to use his practice. She was treated horribly and left to suffer for months with a debilitating condition, finally needing to seek treatment and surgery elsewhere because they would not take her seriously, messed up her prescriptions multiple times, and reacted defensively when she brought up her concerns. I ... read more

I’ve seen Doctors on 2 Continents. Dr Schnackenberg is by far the best Dr I’ve encountered, very knowledgeable, incredibly smart. Always takes the time to explain everything, never rushes you. Have the greatest confidence in his diagnosis.

If I could give zero stars I would. I’ve seen many doctors in my lifetime and Dr Schnackenberg is by far the most insensitive and rude, I called the office the day before bringing my elderly parents in to explain my mom was having some memory issues and was very sensitive about it and that I’d like to talk to the doctor perhaps privately. He walked in the room and stated “So I hear you’re having some memory loss?” “It’s probably Alzheimer’s” So then I tried to respond quietly, “Are there tests for that?” To which he responde... read more

Scared elderly mother about needing to move to assisted living the first time he met her without any preamble in first few minutes (!) of appointment. Also wanted to discontinue the medication she had been taking to relieve arthritis pain for years though her bloodwork was fine.

He took $14,742.62 i... read more

Terrible. Showed very little care and misdiagnosed my condition as well. A dangerous complete waste of time and resources. Never again!

Was my primary care provider from 2005-2006. Made me feel unheard and uncared for regarding back pain. I am glad that other appreciate his expertise. I felt so unheard that... here I am checking back after over a decade to see how others have fared.

When reading these reviews I am disappointed at some of the concerns that patients have mentioned. I definitely don't want a physician that rushes me out the door, or is constantly looking at their watch, or answers my questions with, " you're fine ". I had that with my last doctor, and for that reason I chose to change doctors. I hope we are breaking that vicious cycle. In any event, I had my first appointment and I found him to be extremely personable. I had my little list of questions and he answered all of them, and I fe... read more

Very quick - not thorough. Fluffs off questions with “your fine” responses. Doesn’t take the time to actually listen or express concern. Consistently has one foot out the door when you begin to ask questions. If you’re looking for the “jiffy lube” of doctors then you’ll be pleased. If you’re looking for preemptive and proactive healthcare that addresses your concerns and needs, then look elsewhere.

Doctor does not care about patients and is more interested in getting them of his office than helping them
