Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He’s very easy to talk to, had a lot of patients for me took his time and he actually looked at me while we were speaking instead of looking down and writing like other doctors have done when I’ve seen other physicians for other issues, so that I really appreciated.

Dr. Schakel performed Achilles’ tendon repair surgery on my left ankle after I completely tore it. He did an outstanding job and I highly recommend him.

The professionalism is superior. The patient care is the highest I have ever seen. They truly treat you like a patient and not a paycheck or number. The Dr has great bedside manner and gives ?? percent of himself.
