There are not enough words to describe how awesome you and your staff are. You truly care and respect your patients needs by listening, answering and taking the time to make sure there is an understanding of the diagnosis. You and your staff welcome patients like family. Thank you for who you are and what you do!

Dr Shenko and staff are absolutely the best!!! They walked me through each and every step of my procedure and eased my anxiety each step of the way. Dr Shenko’s bedside manner and professionalism is awesome and I can’t say how lucky I am to have found him.

Dr. Shenko is a knowledgeable, caring physician who educates his patients as he treats them. His office staff is efficient, keeping appointments on time and allowing for individual care. Tina Shenko, the office manager, is always ready with a smile to put patients at ease.

PHENOMENAL!!!! Love him and everyone in the office!!!!

Kindness, great communication, follow up, sense of humor, low-key, patient, compassion.. great bedside manners. I I would recommend Dr Shenko and his staff in a heartbeat.

Dr. Shenko and his entire staff are so friendly and so helpful. I never feel rushed and he takes his time and answers all my questions.

I am 64 years old and have had a few Doctors in my time, but James Shenko is by far one of the best i have met…He is always got a joke to crack about our golf games and is always spot on with his diagnosis.

Can’t recommend Dr Shenko and his team enough! They are all caring, kind, and truly listen to (and deliver on) your goals! From my consultation, to surgery, to post op appointments, everything has been on time, and Dr Shenko takes as much time as you need to answer any questions and provide as much information as possible to ensure you get the results you’re hoping for (which i did!). My procedure exceeded my expectations, both in the results and the surgery itself through recovery. Very happy and would recommend the team to anyone.

Great experience in Dr. Shenko’s office.  I saw Dr. Shenko about a trigger finger & swelling in my wrist from a break 40 years ago. He explained what we were going to see on the x-ray for my wrist.  He clearly explained the cause and what my options were. I highly recommend Dr. Shenko, he comes across like a regular guy.

This was the first visit with Dr. Shenko. He was very knowledgeable, explained everything so you can understand as well as very personable. I would definitely recommend him to everyone. The office staff was also friendly, knowledgeable and patient.

Everyone I talked to about you folks had wonderful things to say about you.  I must say everything I heard about you was very positive.  You certainly didn’t disappoint me.  I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to experience firsthand how nice everyone in your office treats patients.  From the very start of my appointment everyone made me feel very special.  Thank you so much for all your kindness.  You’re a very special group.

Office staff pleasant and professional. Dr. S. was impressive and personable.  Considering it is a doctor’s office, a very good experience!

The whole process I went through to get through my surgery was wonderful and the staff was amazing to work with. If I had any questions I was able to call at any time. I would recomend Dr. Shenko to everyone.

So happy I was referred to Dr. Shenko, very happy with my consultation!

I would highly recommend Dr. Shenko. The whole experience was so easy and the atmosphere was very relaxing. All of the staff was friendly and professional.

As a parent, I believe Dr. Shenko makes my children feel very important and validated. Their ages range from 15-8 and with both children he was wonderful. He explained to them what exactly was going to happen during the surgery and talked to them, not at them. Thank you again!!!!!

The staff and Dr. Shenko helped my 4 year old who was bitten by a dog on her face, feel at ease, since she is a shy one to start with. I as the mom felt that all the information that Dr. Shenko gave me was accurate and gently explained. We will be seeing him again in six months and we hope to see our daughter’s scars get even better by then. Thank you.

I’ve had the surgery that Dr. Shenko will be doing previously with another physician. Dr. Shenko did a far superior job explaining the process, etc. I feel I am in extremely capable hands.

Your office was very professional and the office itself was very neat and clean. It was a very convenient location. I would certainly recommend Dr. Shenko.

I was very pleased with the office staff and Dr. Shenko. He’s really down to earth!

I have shared my great experience with my friends already. Good news travels fast.

Dr. Shenko and his staff were fabulous with my son and made him feel at ease. Thank you!!

The staff and everyone were especially friendly and accommodating.

Please note, that when I called for my daughter, I was listened to and definitely felt that we would be treated well. We were! Thank you.

I am happy that my doctor referred me to this office and plan to tell him about my good experience so he’ll refer others. Thanks.

Doc Shenko and his staff are true professionals; they treated me with the utmost respect and made me feel like family, which in my book makes them above reproach.

This was an initial consultation leading to a future surgery; all went well, thanks.

Other Testimonials From Our Patients

Dr Shenko, who would be the last of four surgeons I consulted with, was the only one who felt “right” to both me and my husband to trust and put our faith into. Dr. and Mrs. Shenko and the entire staff made us feel so unbelievably welcome and that they truly cared, both as their patient and also similar to that of a friend. There are no words to truly express the most heartfelt gratitude I have for Dr. and Mrs. Shenko (and staff!) for all that they truly did for me.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Shenko yesterday and I am so pleased! I feel so much better about how I look! But the best part is that in the past I have had appointments with other doctors for the same procedure and have bruised for weeks. Dr. Skenko assured me that I would not bruise. No bruising at all!! I am so impressed. He took great care and is very knowledgeable. The whole staff was great, friendly, and made me feel comfortable. The whole experience was a pleasure – I look forward to my next appointment.

I don’t know even where to begin! Thank you so very much for the amazing work you performed on me. You completely exceeded my expectations. I had very little pain and discomfort and the results are just “WOW.” You gave me back the body that my pregnancy had taken away! You gave me my “spirit” again. Thank you.

I can’t begin to thank you. I feel like a new healthy woman. I feel great! You and your staff were so wonderful to deal with. You all made my breast reduction surgery a great experience. Thank you for all that you’ve done.

I have known Dr. Shenko for 10 years. As a former Nurse Case Manager for Workers’ Compensation several of my clients had hand surgery done by Dr. Shenko. Not only is Dr. Shenko a skilled surgeon; but his bedside manners are impecable. He was particularly great with some very difficult patients who had nerve related pain associated with their hand injury. His staff has always been very professional and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Shenko. Service above reproach.
