Reviews for Normal
"The staff was friendly and efficient. Amy S. was wonderful and caring and remembered details of my issues without digging through notes. She spent enough time with me to develop a plan of action that included my input. She is great!"
"The staff is always welcoming & professional. PA Amy takes time to listen to my issues, ask questions and offer possible solutions. She orders appropriate diagnostic tests at a convenient location for me. They follow up with results."
"I showed up early for my appointment and got in a little earlier than the scheduled appointment time. I had heard good things about the PA that I would be seeing, and the comments were accurate. It was a very pleasant doctor appointment experience."
"Friendly staff, love love love Amy and Dr Misra."
"The entire staff was amazing and very attentive. They took great care of me."

"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."
"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!"
"Dr Bernsen is a phenomenal doctor.
I am speaking as Dr. Bernsen’s patient but also as a medical provider. I came to see Dr. Bernsen for second opinion after seeing someone else for 7years. I was hesitent of leaving my previous doctor because you get attached. However, I knew I was not getting the symptom relief or quality of life I deserved. My ulcerative colitis was simply not treated. Now, boy am I thankful I saw Dr. Bernsen. For the first time I saw a light at the end of my tunnel. If anyone has moderate to severe ulcerative colitis,
you know how bothersome signs and symptoms get, how drained and hopeless you can feel. Long story short, you do not feel yourself. Can’t enjoy food, have normal bowel movements, plus your social life, mood and sleep is affected. I’m thankful because Dr. Bernsen took care of me. He offered me medications my previous provider never mentioned. And after 1 tablet of prednisone Dr.Bernsen prescribed, my symptoms improved drastically. I can not say enough of how thankful I am of getting my life back. All my ulcerative colitis signs and symptoms resolved after incorporating a new treatment plan.
I can eat normal again, have my energy back, and I do not need to worry about having a bathroom close by. A very grateful patient, A.Opiela"
"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."
"Very helpful over the phone today when answering questions I had for my patient records"
"The staff was excellent ,very nice and professional. I have been going to DDC For ten years and always had excellent care! I would recommend them to anyone need these procedures!"
"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."
"I agree with the below comment. Dr. Misra is also awesome. They are understanding and caring and have no problem explaining. Everyone in the office was very kind and helpful! I have a new G. I. doctor!!!"
