Some issues Dr. Aaron Ben Schoenkerman, MD can help you with:

Autoimmune Diseases

An autoimmune disorder happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks the tissues of its own body, causing symptoms of illness. There are more than 80 different types of autoimmune disorders. While some are very rare, others are fairly common. Combined, autoimmune disorders are one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, affecting approximately 24 million people.

A properly working immune system identifies foreign substances in the body that might cause illness, such as bacteria and viruses. The immune system then creates antibodies which attack the foreign substances, neutralizing them and keeping the body safe. In people with autoimmune disorders, something goes wrong with this process. For reasons that are not fully understand, the immune system creates antibodies to attack the patient's own tissues.

Symptoms of an autoimmune disorder depend on which tissue is being attacked by the immune system, but common symptoms of autoimmune disease include fever, fatigue, and a general feeling of just not being well. Autoimmune disorders are more common in women than in men, and they may run in families. Autoimmune disorders can affect various parts of the body such as blood vessels, connective tissue, endocrine glands, joints, muscles, red blood cells, skin, and many others.

It is common to have more than one autoimmune disorder at a time. Most are chronic, or life-long illnesses, although they may come and go in flares. Treatment for autoimmune disorders depends on which part of the body is being attacked. For example:

  • A type 1 diabetic whose pancreas has been damaged will need insulin.
  • A person with Hashimoto's whose thyroid has been damaged will need replacement thyroid hormones.
  • Someone with Sjogren's syndrome will need eye drops and mouth rinses to replace tears and saliva.

Many autoimmune disorders of all kinds are treated with immune-suppressing medications, such as corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone) to reduce the effect of the immune system.

Heart Attack

A heart attack is a serious medical event that happens when the blood supplying oxygen to the heart is cut off, usually because of a blockage in an artery. This results in damage or death of part of the heart muscle. The heart can heal, but like any part of the body that was injured it leaves a scar. This scar tissue does not contract effectively, so the ability of the heart to pump is lowered after a heart attack.

A heart attack, sometimes called a myocardial infarction, can happen without warning. However there are certain factors that raise the risk of heart attack. Some of these are:

  • Age
  • Gender (most heart attack sufferers are male)
  • A family history of heart attacks
  • Smoking
  • Obesity
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Unhealthy lifestyle choices (lack of exercise, poor diet, too much alcohol or stress)

Heart attacks typically feel like pain or pressure in the chest that can radiate out to the back, arm, or jaw. Some other symptoms can include fatigue or weakness, shortness of breath, sweating, and nausea.

Treatment aims to increase blood flow to the heart muscle by opening up blocked blood vessels. Medications are sometimes used to dissolve clots in the arteries. Aspirin and other medications such as Plavix can thin the blood and make clots less likely to form. Dilators can widen blood vessels to make room for more blood to flow. Doctors can also use a procedure called catheterization to look at the blood vessels around the heart directly, place stents, or widen vessels using angioplasty. In extreme cases bypass surgery can be used to help blood flow better. After recovery, it is important to lead a healthy lifestyle and take any prescribed medications in order to protect the heart.

Heart Problems

The heart is one of the most important organs in the body. This smooth muscle expands and contracts rhythmically an entire lifetime, pumping blood to the lungs and then to every other cell in the body. When heart problems occur, it becomes difficult for the body to get the nutrients and oxygen it needs via the blood. So while there are a variety of illnesses and disorders that affect the heart, most of them cause weakness, exhaustion and shortness of breath. The most common heart conditions include heart disease, angina, arrhythmia, and valve disorders.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women. This includes coronary artery disease, heart attacks, congestive heart failure, and congenital heart disease. Some conditions, such as genetics, cannot be controlled. But there are many other things one can do to lower their risk for heart disease. Controlling high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reducing or stopping smoking, exercising more and losing weight if needed, and eating a diet low in sodium can all protect the heart.

Angina is a squeezing type of chest pain that happens when the muscles around the heart don't get enough oxygen. It can be regular or infrequent. Usually, angina is caused by coronary heart disease. However, not all chest pain is angina. Chest pain can also be caused by a lung infection or panic attack, for example, so it is important to have any sudden pain checked.

Arrhythmia is the word for when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly with skipped beats. It can feel frightening, and depending on the type it can be dangerous, but in most cases arrhythmia is not serious and can be treated. It is very common, especially in older adults.

Heart valve problems can happen in any one of the the heart's four valves that keep blood flowing where it needs to go. Babies can be born with problems in their heart valves, or valves can be damaged by infections. The valves can stiffen and become less mobile, or they can stop closing properly and 'leak' when the heart beats. Valve problems can usually be repaired surgically.

The doctor did not know important information about my medical history, even though I waited four months to be seen, and despite him having access to all of my up to date records. He spoke to me in a way that was both demeaning and disrespectful (correcting things I told him about my diagnoses, even though I know a great deal about these / work with a specialist, and despite the fact that it was clear he knew very little about these conditions). He talked over me, interrupted me, and dismissed a number of the questions I came thoughtfully prepared to ask him. I entered this appointment eager, and positive. Excited, even. I left feeling disrespected, unheard, and with no clear path forward regarding my medical concerns. I actually cried in the car when I left because he made me feel so bad. What a terrible experience. It's the worse interaction I've had with a medical professional in a very long time. He could Improve a great deal simply by listening to patients, and learning from them.

My appt. With Dr. Schoenkerman was the a second opinion about how to proceed with my slightly elevated Cholesterol. The 1st opinion I got was all negative feedback-wrong diet, not enough exercise and an aggressiveTx program that involved injectable medication. After going through all the results of the copious tests IWas put through and the impatient and interruption I had with the 1st Dr., I was assured that no treatment wasNecessary and what I was doing to maintain my health at my age was appropriate. I appreciated the time spentWith me going over all the diagnostics I had been through and the time spent answering all my questions with Respect instead of ordering me to do certain things and dismissing all of the few words I could get in with the 1st cardiologist I saw. I left feeling very relieved knowing I was not on the brink of death as I had been lead to believe by the previous cardiologist.

As a recent transplant to Portland, perhaps the most difficult task for someone 79 years of age was to find new healthcare providers. Scouring the internet is at times a difficult way to go about this job, but if you have no friends or family here to assist, you're on your own. I want to say unequivocally that I hit a home run with Dr. Schoenkerman. I was so impressed with his ability to explain things to me in a manner a layman can understand, his ability to listen carefully to what I had to offer or ask, and the overall genuine care he showed toward me as a patient and a human being. I guess you just get lucky sometimes as I don't know how many Dr. Schoenkermans there are out there.

All contacts from check-in desk to Dr Schoenkerman (including medical assistant) were above and beyond my expectations (and) very personable as well(!). Although my symptoms are (not) always severe in nature at this point (and) no diagnosis determined as of yet (& even if there is one eventually), the care team at this clinic was very thorough in suggesting the next best steps/test option to do. The only downside was having to wait about 5-6 months between apt's, but something I'm willing to do at this point - in order to see a medical team which I believe is among the very best here in our PDX area.

Dr. Schoenkerman is warm and congenial, and very professional - a tough balance to achieve. He listened patiently as I spoke, and waited until I was finished speaking to question me about flushing out answers to his follow-up questions. He was already aware of my medical history, even though this was my first appointment with him. His explanations of my situation, what he believed to be my best options were explained very thoroughly in a manner I could easily understand. Even then, he asked if I had any other questions or concerns. I was very appreciative and grateful for his care.

I was so pleasantly surprised with my experience. He was very genuine, respectful, and explained things to me in a very digestible way that made me feel reassured and educated by the time our visit was over. I generally get nervous when seeing male providers, but that quickly faded as the appointment started. He was listening to my concerns with genuine interest and I never felt brushed off or like I was just another patient. I had a very very good experience and have already told many people how impressed and grateful I am!

I am extremely comfortable and confident with this physician. I feel he sincerely cares about me and my health issues. His goal is to keep me comfortable and as healthy as possible and I'm happy with that. He is a sincere caring person and does not make me feel like I am wasting his time. This has been a problem with other physicians the past couple of years, I guess, because of my age. I have a limited health care background and Dr Schoenkerman makes me feel that I'm still worthwhile. I recommend him highly.

As my regular cardiologist, Dr. Schoenkerman has always been caring, concerned and well informed about my other medical issues, besides my heart. He communicates with my oncologist as needed. And because I do have other medical problems, he is very conscientious about starting new medications at the lowest dose that is appropriate for my heart problems.I appreciate the fact that he connects with me as more than just a patient with a bad heart. He treats me as an individual.

The only problem I had was the way the Instructions on how to get to the office. It would be best to use Division St than to use Burnside. After that, I found all the new doctors with Providence exactly what I need. They are all new doctors to me because I had been living In Arizona and had to reestablish all the doctors I would need to see. This doctor was great, exactly like all the rest. That's why I am a patient of "Providence Medical Professionals"!

Dr Schoenkerman was very wonderful. He had the medical records for my mother, he also went in to the system to retrieve other medical records from Tucson Arizona, that was very helpful for her appointment. He provide active listening and support towards my mother, including education regarding her history and current situation. The staff was very pleasant. We were provided care from the time we walked through the door.
