Provider Review
I am 28F and was diagnosed with a rare pituitary tumor resulting in a condition called acromegaly in 2015. Because of this condition my brow grew, the soft tissue in my face increased and the right side of my jaw grew asymmetrically which resulted in a quickly developed underbite. After surgically controlling the tumor by an SF neurosurgeon to ensure no more growth would occur, my husband and I sought help for the physical changes to my face. I wanted someone to help reverse some of the negative effects this condition caused. The first experience I ever had in Dr. Schendels office was not only extremely informative, but also comforting. His caring disposition, confidence in his work, and interest in my well being left me hopeful and excited for the first time in 3 years. Dr. Schendel operated on my brow and forehead to reduce the effects of the growth, made it look more feminine and operated on the soft tissue on my eyelids to return them to the way they looked before my diagnosis. All of my questions were answered every step of the way, when there was a mix up with the pharmacy post surgery, Dr. Schendel and his wonderful staff (Jokasta and Carolyn) went above and beyond to make sure my husband was able to get the necessary medication before I woke up from surgery. I will have corrective Jaw surgery(orthognathic) in the summer. I have full confidence in Dr. Schendel. I know that he cares and I know that not only will my jaw be functional and pain free again, but he will do everything in his power to make it beautiful as well. Thank you Dr. Schendel and Team. You guys have been a positive light in the midst of some crazy health turns. Thank you for helping me feel like myself again, I can't wait for the next steps.
