We are excited to introduce you to him so you can get to know him more closely.
Get to Know Dr. Donald Shoenthal - Family Medicine Doctor in Pittsburgh
Dr. Donald Shoenthal, MD is a longstanding medical doctor that has helped to build a successful practice in the North Hills of Pittsburgh along side the rest of the team. He is such a kind-hearted physician and has a passion for caring for the elderly. That passion connects with his active role at Sherwood Oaks Retirement Facility as the Certified Medical Director and member of the Board of Directors. He also visits weekly to see patients support Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in the care of those individuals.
One of his favorite things about family medicine is being able to provide a full scope of care to the patients. As a family practice with roots going back over 75 years, there are generations of families that have come to love and trust our practice and especially Dr. Shoenthal. 'It's cool because we have 80 year olds that started with us when they were 50... it's cool to watch them grow,' stated Dr. Shoenthal when discussing his perspective on the evolution of the practice.
When Dr. Shoenthal is not in the office, he is a true family man - enjoying his time with his wife and daughter. Did you know he is an avid skiier?
Dr. Shoenthal believes our practice is different as a result of our ability to see patients through the good and bad...literally. 'We see patients when they are healthy through end of life care. That is what makes us unique. Lots of practices or doctors are departmental - we are there through the good and bad... literally. Patients like knowing that.'
Dr. Shoenthal has earned himself the title of Top Doctor since 2020, which is no surprise. His patients would agree that he has the qualities that make him the doctor of choice for them.
