Brakstad Mark MD

Please save yourself some grief and have your surgery done elsewhere.
Doctor Brakstad made a careless mistake on my surgery and caused me to be in the hospital for 2 months instead of a week for an ileostomy.
When I was released he promised me I’d be put back together in 6 – 8 weeks. So at the 8 week mark, I called him and now he wants me to get a colonoscopy before I get put back together. So I had the colonoscopy April 1^st and I call doctor Brakstad’s office every week to try to schedule my final surgery and they say he’s not here and that they’ll take a message and get back to me. Well it’s been 3 weeks and they haven’t gotten back to me.
Now I have to go through the hassle of finding somewhere else to put my intestines back together. I’m lucky I have such an understanding girlfriend.

The doctor is wonderful — the office staff is AWFUL. They are inattentive and cause patients to wonder just what they’ve gotten themselves into. Eating and gabbing while people are waiting to be waited on!!! This wonderful doctor deserves a wonderful, attentive staff… these employees are doing a disservice.

There are none better than Dr. Brackstad. He quite literally saved my life by performing an incredibly difficult surgery on a patient who would have likely died in a matter of days without his care. I couldn’t have possibly asked for better care. If you’re looking for a capable doctor to perform your abdominal or general surgery, this is your man!

Very kind and caring. Always there for his patients.

wonderful doctor!
