Dr. Eric Carl Schnakenberg

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 felt he was very thorough. I've been extremely healthy all of my life and that being said I did leave the office a little depressed as I felt I was on my last leg (so to speak). I do believe it's in the delivery, how you articulate it to the patient. So for now, I'm going to keep Dr. Schnakenberg. I'm looking for that old school doctor, that when I'm sick, I can call him and he knows me, and my history and he'll call something into the pharmacy for me.

Dr schnackenburgh never has the time to discuss anything with me. I just saw him about pinkeye. Deafness in 1 ear. Asked for a tetnis shot. And i wanted to be examined because i just got over covid after having it 16 days. He has been ny primary care for 2 years. And he stillhas no time for me. Waited 1.5 hours. Did not get my tetnis shot. Covid was never discussed cause he was in such a rush. And his initial response was that i did not have pinkeye..luckily i was able to get drops at least. There have to be better, more attentive doctors out there. Dont support this one.

I had two occasions to meet Dr. Schnekenberg. Both times he kept me waiting in the room for over an hour with little regard for the value of my time.

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

He is a great doctor and very knowledgeable.

I was very disappointed with his lack of concern and follow-up with an issue I was having. He blew off my concerns and made me feel as if I were fabricating my plight. He was only concerned with referring me to doctors within the CCP network even though that meant an initial appointment with a CCP specialist that would be seven months in the future. It was not until an attentive physician did some testing and discovered the issues I was having were not in my head. I have now been able to proceed with the proper care for my health.

Great Doctor.

Has been my family doctor for years

Dr. Schnakenberg spreads fear regarding the risk of disease and misinformation regarding vaccine safety and efficacy. Do your own research before getting bullied into an irreversible medical procedure by a Pharma puppet like him.

Dr Schnakennerg TWICE misdiagnosed my mother’s cancer. He refused to order X-rays and scans stating, “it will just open up a can of worms”. She was diagnosed with both lung cancer and pancreatic cancer, two separate times, at an urgent care where she went after her symptoms became unbearable. She beat the lung cancer, the pancreatic unfortunately took her life. Prior to starting chemo for the pancreatic, she unfortunately had to see ”Schnak” for medical clearance prior to a biopsy. At that time he told her not to bother seeking treatment because she was going to die anyway, and it would make her violently ill. Picture a very scared 68 year old woman being told this. He crushed every ounce of hope she had at that time. She was terrified. When I called to complain, I was directed to the office manager, who (not surprisingly) was just as insensitive and unprofessional. She asked me word for word “well do you think it’s going to work?” , in reference to my mothers chemotherapy. After she passed, her brother went to see him (not realizing who he was), he requested screening given his sister’s medical history. He was too told this would “just open up a can of worms”. He is a despicable and lazy practicioner. Do yourself a favor, save you and the ones you love the heartache, and seek healthcare elsewhere. Dr Schnakennerg TWICE misdiagnosed my mother’s cancer.

Poor bedside demeanor. Gave indications my concerns were unfounded and I was wasting his time. Seemed generally knowledgeable.

Dr Schnakenberg is an excellent doctor and has been my primary care physician for over 20 years.

Dr. Schnakenberg seems to know his stuff and stay current with the latest research on effective treatments. He has a straight-forward approach when asking questions and gives open and honest feedback. I appreciate that he has a lighthearted and calm demeanor, even if I am feeling (and acting) miserable. I also love that his practice actually puts the client portal app to good use, so I can make appointments and refill prescriptions, quickly and easily.

Dr. Schnakenberg has been my primary care physician for more than 25 years. He listens to what I say and asks questions. He never looks disinterested and never leaves the room until I finish my questions/discussion. He's personable, professional and straightforward . I'll be 70 on my next birthday and recently moved more than an hour away. This will eventually force me to change physicians - something I'm not looking forward to. Dr. Schnakenberg is an excellent and caring doctor.

My husband and i both see him. Love him, knowledgeable and efficient. The office staff suckkkk (aside from mariah :)) Never much of a wait.

Have been a patient for over 15 years Dr. Schnakenberg has always been professional and takes the time to listen and address concerns. Highly recommend.

Dr. Schnakenberg, I have been with him from the beginning and still am! He is a very good doctor and very compassionate! He saved my life!

Excellent primary care doctor. After being with the same doctor for over 40 years and very apprehensive about making the change, Dr. Schnakenberg was a breath of fresh air. His appointments are right on time and as well as quick in and out. Such a good guy and well versed in the field. I feel lucky to have found him. I would recommend him him for any age. DZ

Dr. Schnakenberg may be good for very basic visits, but I would not recommend him for anything other than flu, strep throat, anything of that nature. He spends minimal time with patients and is dismissive if there is no clearly defined issue, and believes if a few quick methods don't solve the problem to wait it out. I went to see another physician after making no progress in about four months' time and it was like night and day. Mariah at the front desk is incredibly great, though!

Been visiting for annual physicals for 11 years. Competent and patient; broad knowledge base and network. Reviewed extensively prior to seeing him, as I come from a family of doctors and health professionals and have no tolerance for waiting or incompetence. Has always been great to work with, even when I was living abroad and needed answers remotely.

He does like to prescribe your problems away. He is good for basic sick visits like flu, ear infections and things of that sort of thing. I often wondered if he earns commission on the side for pushing flu shots and shingles vaccines. When a patient declines, he keeps pushing them. The corporate structure is more about quantity than quality. A new ding dong answers the phone and fails to follow-up and relay messages. For serious illnesses...look elsewhere.
