Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Provider Review

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
1900 University Avenue, Palo Alto, California
Overall rating

Before surgery, my lower jaw was 15mm recessed. After surgery, it was still 13mm recessed. Dr. Schendel left me with a posterior open bite and made an unstable move of lowering my upper jaw, essentially giving me clockwise rotation when I needed counter-clockwise rotation. Because of this, I cannot chew food or sleep and I am in 24/7 muscular pain. These are permanent conditions that require revision surgery to correct. When I asked him for a refund so I could correct the problems, he told me he would no longer be responding to me and to talk to his insurance company. Please see the cephalometric attached. You can see clearly the skeleton has not at all been corrected.
