Dr Schrag is so knowledgeable, caring and emphatic. He treats his patients and cares for his patients very effectively and explains thoroughly everything that requires to be done. He is an exemplary Plastic Surgeon and I am thankful and blessed to have had Dr. Schrag operate on me. His Office Assistant was also a gem to deal with too. Catherine McWilliams.

Dr Schrag performed carpal tunnel surgery on my wrist, he was excellent and his assistant Lynn was most helpful and considerate. Highly recommended.

Does not really care about his patients, went for a follow up appointment for my eye surgery and he didn’t bother to even check my file to see what he performed on me and didn’t know he had done a tendon replacement for my eye and recommended I needed one. Pathetic. All he seems to care about is the cash flow and where the next buck is coming from, and he is a consultant at the Uof C? What a joke. He said the the operation did not take and offered to do it again< I haven’t heard form his office again and that was back in November he is a discredit to his occupation. I regret ever having anything to do with him and he gives doctors a bad reputation

I had a tummy tuck by Dr. S. His staff and hun were/are wonderful. I was a little surprised on the comments saying they were rude, did not get that at all. Dr.S really took his time, was super knowledgeable and also gave me his personal number if there was any issues after my tummy tuck (which there wasn't). I did end up sneezing after my surgery (and felt like I was going to die) and I think stretched the stitches. After it was healed- I had a huge scare in which Dr. S fixed for me in day surgery, without charge. It looks amazing now. I am also no able to run again and have no back pain/hip pain (bc I had abdominal separation) which was fixed due to the surgery. He also had training staff with him, but when he talked to them I never felt it was rude- just a learning environment and the students appeared fine and were very knowledgeable as well. Really recommend and had a very positive and safe experience.

Dr. Schrag is a godsend. I had a nerve transplant and was very nervous about my surgery and the outcome. He took the time to explain things to me in terms that I understood. His assistant Lyn is also wonderful and easy to deal with. I would recommend Dr. Schrag to anyone seeking and brilliant doctor!

I had a reconstruction surgery by Dr. Schrag, he was very rude to one of the junior doctors in front of me. And overall poor bedside manner, not a good attitude, rude and self centred . Overall my surgery went well though, so must be an ok surgeon.
