Fist time meeting Dr Schening was very pleasant. We enjoyed her energy. She took her time checking my newborn and was interested to get to know my little family.
We couldn’t be more pleased with Dr. Schening. Excellent practice. Highly recommend.
Best Dr my son loves her.
...If you call in with a question about your sick child... ... or if you go to the ER... don't expect any followups from them, to see how you're child is. ...If you switch from traditional insurance to ALL KIDS, expect them to inexplicably terminate their relationship with you, with an unsigned letter. They will later explain that it was just because you didn't show up for our regular well visit, even if you hadn't even scheduled one! By the way, they will not warn you about this eith
We absolutely love Dr Schening for our 3 children! So much so, we pay out of pocket to continue seeing her rather than finding a physician in our network. Previous pediatricians had always been quick to want to prescribe steroids and other meds for the slightest skin rash or stuffy nose. I appreciate Schening's more holistic approach and that she aims to treat the source of whatever is causing an ailment instead of masking the symptoms. If only I could find a doctor as trustworthy for myself!
Horrid bedside manner. Her office staff is also unprofessional, and inefficient. Scary, when your child's other specialists recommend you take your child to a different pediatrician. Think it's about time I take their advice.
Dr. Schening and the nurse we saw today were very nice and thorough! My 3 year old is very shy, and the doctor was super sweet with him, trying to get him to feel comfortable with the necessary checkup routines. On our way out, the lady at the front desk was very friendly and was engaging in fun conversation with my son. :) You can really tell the people who work here love their jobs!
My son was complaining about arms and legs pain ever since he turned 2 years old. Every time we saw Dr Schening I would mention my concerns and got a goofy looks in response. One time she actually was bold enough to ask if I am the one who is making him sick? Finally after 2 years she ordered some test. Turned out he's vitD was very low!!! Just recently we went again.... another awful experience:( . Terrible bedside manner yet first to discipline the kids.
Business response:
Due to HIPPA constraints, I cannot fully answer your concerns with my office. However, if a patient / child is doing things to destroy my office property, doing something that will get them harmed, or being so disruptive that I cannot carry on a conversation with a parent, then yes, I will verbally ask the patient to have better manners.
Two weeks in advance of my baby girl's appointment I delivered the paperwork to the office in an envelope. On the day of, April 26th, the office couldn't find it and I had to fill out the six pages again. I brought the records, in case. The NP ignored my concerns of a skin rash and when to begin giving vitamins, and accused me of abusing my child because of the presence of Mongolian spots - there since birth - until Dr. looked and said, the politically correct term is slate gray Mongolian spots
Business response:
Due to HIPAA constraints, I cannot fully reply, but if we had thought you were beating / abusing / neglecting your child(ren), we would call DCFS. We give education to parents on how many physicians can think slate gray spots are bruises. If you would like to discuss this further with me, please feel free to call the office.
