"I felt very comfortable with Dr. Clark. I enjoyed his humor. The only issue I have is the very slow response to calls made to the phone nurse. I do understand the reason has to do with being understaffed and that is not to blame on the office. Otherwise, I like the voice of the Nurse that I have spoken with. It is very compassionate."

"Had a great experience with DDC, especially Dr. Schoenig. He has a great sense of humor & bedside manner, explains things well, and really knows how to put a patient at ease. The other office staff at DDC are great as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DDC and Dr. Schoenig!"

5.0 Review from K.J. Source: Google May 25 2021

"Very thorough and caring professionals. Dr. Schoenig and PA-C Any Stites are great. They listen and go the extra mile to diagnosis and treat their patients for optimal results. I have always been treated as an individual and with respect. Must mention that their nurses and staff members are excellent too. Whoever thinks it's hard to get good help these days could get some tips from this group. Never had a bad experience with anyone working here. Stellar group. Glad I found you. I had not been back for years, because of excellent treatment. But when I had a recent flare-up, they responded by getting me in and finding the solution."

"DDEC and Dr Schoenig and his team are awesome. I have been seeing their team every 5 years for the past 15 years as my family has a history of Colon cancer. The entire process from online scheduling to check in the day of the colonoscopy through the prep for the procedure to release to go home - their team are polite, positive, encouraging and empathetic - I highly recommend Dr Schoenig and his team at DDEC."

"After reading some of these reviews, I’ll admit I was nervous about making an appointment with this office. I decided to do some investigating on my own before relying on others opinions, and I’m sure glad I did. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. From the intake personnel, to pre service interaction, to scheduling, to Dr. Kenneth Schoenigs non judgmental, calming demeanor and genuine concern, through to follow up I was thoroughly impressed."
