Dr. Dennis Scharfenberger, MD

I have been seeing Dr. Scharfenberger for 20 years or so. In my opinion he is an excellent physician, who cares deeply about his patients. I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Scharfenberger has been taking care of my whole family for 15+ years. They squeeze my kids in whenever they need to see him, and if he is running behind, it is because they are accommodating my kids and any other patients that need to be seen. His staff is helpful and professional.

Yup. Feel free to let her HAVE IT, FOLKS - she’s an opportunistic bully. You will know who I mean when it happens to you or your child.

He is a nice man, a compassionate dr and a good primary physician (especially considering that there is barely any other choice in the immediate location). That said, there is no other positive which can be offered. Staff is at best disinterested and at worst (DONNA) abusive. His wife, the head nurse, is kind enough but the entire staff acts like they are doing YOU a favor and want to rush you out the door. God forbid you call the office and ask for anything. It is unreal how unprofessional his sister's best friend - DONNA - is to patients. How is that woman a nurse? She clearly missed compassion 101 day in nursing school. Ask around and any of his patients will tell you how bad the service is getting there and how his practice has slipped since she came on board. None including the dr will go above or beyond for patients - just barely the minimum. Everything gets referred to ER/hospital and the wait times are incredibly disrespectful of your time. Bring a book and be prepared to wait first in reception and then in the room. Also be prepared to be treated like garbage by Donna and ignored by Michelle.

I've been a patient of Dr. Scharfenberger for about 15 + years now. His manner is wonderful and he takes the time to get to know the whole person he's treating. Never have I felt rushed to let him go onward to the next patient. Still and all, people are moved through his care at a decent pace. I have felt at times that his staff could be a bit more courteous, but have never had an issue with the doctor himself.

Be careful! Before you can even try to get an appointment with this doctor his staff is very unprofessional. DONNA(that nasty B) answers the phone in a nasty tone&the others seem afraid and back her up including the wife. DOC you better get rid of her before she scares all your patients away! This is very important to me when I am checking out a doctor office &his staff. Turned me off immediately. I asked around about this office and I got the same feedback from others that have called. I found that others have had a problem with her. Hope the doc will see this&re-hire a whole new staff. You girls need to take a class on customer service skills. Doc you lost a money and a new patient.

I can't say enough about this Doctor and his staff. He saved my father's life twice and is always right on with his diagnosis. He is extremely patient, always treats everyone with such respect and is never condescending as many doctors can be. He always calls back quickly when I call his office with a question. Can't ask for a better a doctor.

Dr. Scharfenberger will spend whatever time it takes to listen to your symptoms and concerns. He never seems rushed or hurried and is not above listening to your concerns or ideas. He seems to order the appropriate tests before making his diagnosis. His bedside manner is excellent and he is just a generally kind and caring human being. His caring and kindness are natural to him. An excellent doctor

My husband and I appreciate this doctor and his staff. A very nice group of people. Dr.Scharfenberger is a pleasant and kind doctor. A true professional in his field. Patience and compassion are key to healing people and he is right on target. signed - 15 years of experience

This office is not very accomodating of their patients when trying to schedule appointments for minor emergencies (i.e. pink eye, severe cut from kitchen knife, etc.). This staff is all too quick to refer patients with these minor issues to the ER of the local hospital.
