Dr. Schwentker was my physician. I made an urgent appointment for excruciating back pain. He refused to order any imaging and instead required 6 weeks of physical therapy. So I went to PT and they said they were not comfortable treating me since it was obviously nerve pain. When I reported this to Dr. Schwentker he again insisted I complete 6 weeks of physical therapy before he would order imaging. I went to another physician who immediately ordered an MRI which showed a herniated disc. The neurosurgeon said I was lucky I didn't have permanent loss of use of my foot due to the delay in surgery. I don't know if Dr. Schwentker is in the pocket of an insurance company, but his motivation is certainly not the best interest of the patient. read more
