Mark E. Schakel, M.D.

First of all, Dr. Schakel is a terrible doctor. I went to him because my lawyer said he is the most well-​known doctor in Sonoma County.
But he made a mess of my foot by hitting a nerve during a surgery. I had to sign on the contract before the surgery, so I can’t even sue him.
Every time I saw him, I was very depressed because he is not caring at all, and he kept saying the surgery was the only my option. He advised that because he can make more money operating surgery.
For the surgery I needed to get there by 7a.m., but he was over an hour late, and he didn’t even apologize. Then, before the surgery ended, the anesthetic ran out so I was grunting in pain, but he did nothing for me. It hurt so much.
After the surgery I have even more pain in the foot. Now I am permanently disabled. But I was fed up seeing him. So I changed to a different doctor who is a lot more caring. I really regret choosing Dr. Schakel.
DONT’ GO TO DR. SCHAKEL!!! IT’S A NIGHTMARE!!!

DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR IF YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO BE TREATED!!! I saw the «Dr» on a monday. Was told I was to be scheduled for an MRI to asses a previous surgery. Two weeks later, I called THEM to see what was going on and was directed to voicemail that said they would respobd within 24hours. Another week passes, I left another message, three days later, still nothing. This guy is a joke.
