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.

She's thoughtful, kind and respectful
I have been Dr. Schenkman's patient for several years. Recently I had to have a hysterectomy. She made the process so comfortable and my experience at Duke Regional Hospital was fantastic. I am surprised by the negative reviews, because I have definitely had my share of bad experiences with healthcare providers but Dr. S has been the opposite. She's kind, friendly, always thoroughly explains things and answers all my questions. My husband and best friend were there for the surgery and she kept them up-to-date and they commented on how great she was. My friend is a nurse so had that perspective as well.

Dr. Schenkman Delivered my son in 2014. Such a terrible experience I would never want anyone to have. I was not numb enough for a csection I could feel hand inside me truning my son. When she started to cut I screamed from pain and horror. I was put to sleep instantly. The dream state I was in I honestly thought I was dead. My husband told me when the baby was removed the cord was so tight around his neck he was scared. I believe it was caused my them. I’m truly afraid of this woman.
