Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible bedside manner. Rude. Talks down to patients. Terrible that she is an emergency pediatric dr.

Dr. Wenker treated me in Sutter Hospital for an acute asthma episode where I had trouble breathing. I was brought in on a gurney and unresponsive. She was professional and attentive in her care and followed up to ensure that I was recovering from a rather traumatic episode. Thank you.

My son was taken to the ER and treated by this . There is NO WAY she graduated from any medical school. She jerked my son around when she attempted to listen to his lungs for which she listened with her stethoscope still around her neck. She was very inappropriate with her remarks towards our family. She asked if my son was really my husbands child. Who does that?? How did this woman pass any test? When I asked her what my sons condition was she replied, out loud, “Google it, I have other people to see”. Some one needs to take her medical license away. I did report her to the medical board. According to them, they cannot control how the provider treats its patients. We were referred back to the hospital to address her inappropriate conduct.

Inappropriate behavior – Oct 08, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Wenker?
We had a traumatic experience with the loss of a pregnancy and Dr Keri Wenker was the Attending Physician that night. Her blatant disregard and disrespect for our visit was very unsettling. In all my 48 years I've never seen a Physician behave in this way or been spoken to in the manner in which she did. I made a complaint while I was there and will make a formal complaint. I hope no one ever had to experience what we did with this person. Shame on you Keri Wenker! You don't deserve the title Dr

Bedside manner was lacking. No empathy nor compassion. Very short.
