Dr. James David Schlenker

My wife had a wine glass stem shatter and slice the tendon that operates your thumb in half. Local ER staff were not hopeful for a full recovery. Today, her hand works just as it did before the injury. Can't say enough about how great a job they did.

I sliced open my hand after collapsing it on a glass bottle, bracing a fall. This was 26 years ago and my recovery has been astounding. My nerves still have numbness, which is to be expected given the deep and long wound (sliced all but couple of tendons, artery, etc), but I'm able to do vast majority of tasks with my right hand. Take heart to those that have had difficulty, the recovery is long (mine, a year) but part of what happens with such an integral part of the body. Thank you Dr. Schlenker - can't say it enough.

Avoid if you can, biggest mistake of my life going to this guy. Performed eyelid surgery and caused permanent damage, both cosmetic and visual function. Don't make the same mistake i did, he is NO EYE SURGEON!!!!

I find him very conscientious and focused on my issues throughly.

Great doctor, very thorough, very friendly staff.

Excellent surgeon and a very caring doctor. Highly recommended.

In 2000 Dr Schlenker corrected my Keinsbock disease ( which he had to shorten my radial ) Prior to the surgery I had extreme pain for years and was losing strength and grip of my right hand. The surgery went beautifully and in 2017 I am still without pain and pleased with his surgical skills. I no longer live in IL but thought if I had need for further surgery I would certainly consider flying in to have him treat an issue. I also found Dr Schlenker was compassionate and I never felt rushed

WHERE DO I BEGIN? I WENT IN FOR A BREAST REDUCTION MAY 31, 2017. I WOULD RECOMMEND DR. SCHLENKER TO ANYONE. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH HIS WORK. BEAUTIFUL PERSON AND BEAUTIFUL STAFF.

4 years ago I had a tendon surgery done on my hand. I accidentally cut open my thumb while cutting vegetables. 4 years after the surgery I am dealing with serious pain due to the surgery. Before doing any operation please consider it very carefully.

I would have to write an essay for three visits that were unproductive. I had fallen (I'm 59) and he told me he couldn't do anything for me After our first appointment, to which I had brought my husband to sit with me, even hubby said, when we were home, that I should see another doctor and get another opinion. Good luck getting an idea how to take care of yourself. Dr. and staff just make sure you have insurance.
