"Unfortunately I see So many doctors right now. With my favorite Dr retiring, Dr Sam is one of the only Doctors I’ve seen recently that actually listens and gives genuine feedback! Dr Sam answers all my questions and I dont Feel like a number whenever I visit His office. Dr Sam explains everything on a level that I can truly receive the information being given. Drs don’t care anymore, BUT Dr Sam absolutely does. I’m confident I will Be ok in my poor health because Dr Sam is on my case!"

"I drive 35 miles to see Dr. Schowengert when I could see a Gastroenterologist much closer to my home (7-1/2 miles). I trust him and I love the care he gives. I would not see anyone but him. The office is immaculate and the staff is so nice. I always receive a warm welcome. I couldn’t be happier with the treatment I receive at Dr. Schowengert’s office!"

"Dr Schowrngerdt was amazing. There is some minor awkwardness when you're meeting the Dr doing your colonoscopy *right before* the procedure, but he immediately put me at ease. Very kind, very knowledgeable, and all of the staff seemed to really like him too, which says a lot, I think. I couldn't have asked for a better experience."

"After several months and many tests thru this office I must compliment the staff and Dr. Shireman and Dr. Schowengerdt for the thoroughness in tests and a final explanation from Dr. Schowengerdt. He took time to explain things and made me feel like he cared and was familiar with my medical chart. The back office staff has been great in communication via my portal."

"Dr. Schowengerdt met me through the ER. He had been called in when it was discovered I had a bleeding stomach ulcer. Myself and my family were very apprehensive since we did not know what was going on with me. He took the time to explain to us how he would do the procedure and what to expect. He answered all questions very thoroughly and patiently. He was never in a hurry to just tell us and leave. After surgery, his bedside manor never wavered. He came each day and spoke with us to keep us up to date as to what his plan was for me. I was very impressed with his professionalism."

"I absolutely LOVE Dr Schowengerdt!! He is very personable and talks to you like a real person. He never seems rushed. He is the best GI I have ever been to. If he doesn’t know something, he is eager to learn and find out more. I have gastroparesis and he may not know everything about it as it is rare… but he’s traveled my journey with me amazingly!!!"

"The procedure was painless and thorough to the point that Dr. Samuel explained the procedure in details. I received a follow up call the following day to see if I was doing ok. The staff and anesthesiologist was great. The prep the day before was the worst in preparing for a colonoscopy at any locations. I recommend Dr. Samuel for your colonoscopy."

"Friendly, relaxed atmosphere at the office. Come a little early for paperwork - there are a few things to review prior to the procedure even if you’re pre-registered. Nurses were great - made sure I was comfortable and at ease. Also met with anesthesia pre-procedure who was also very nice and professional. Dr “Sam” was great and answered all questions and was very thorough. Never felt rushed or unsure of staff!! Great experience for a colonoscopy!! Lol. The prep wasn’t too bad and I don’t remember anything until after it was all over!!"
