Fake Doctor Who Performed Botched Penis Surgery Sentenced To Prison

A South Florida man was sentenced to prison Monday after botching two patients' plastic surgery procedures, according to reports. The man, who has reportedly posed as a licensed surgeon for decades, mismanaged a butt implant and penis enlargement procedure.

Mark Schreiber, 62, will return to prison for 44 months on two counts of practicing medicine as an unlicensed professional. He also agreed during his trial at Miami-Dade Circuit Court to pay $145,000 in restitution to the patient with the botched butt implant surgery.

The penis enlargement surgery victim reportedly paid Schreiber $1,000 ahead of the procedure, according to NBC affiliate WTVJ. The man claimed to have woken up to a severely deformed penis. The butt implant victim also sustained permanent injuries from the botched procedure.

The former plastic surgeon has a well-documented history of botching patients' cosmetic surgeries. Schrieber's faulty medical practices extend back to 1998, the Miami Herald reported Tuesday. He was reportedly first placed on medical probation by the Florida Department of Health in June 1998 following a mishandled penis enlargement and facelift surgery. The surgeries resulted in fatal injuries to a 51-year-old patient.

Schreiber's medical practice grew problematic in 2005 when four female patients came forward with complaints about their botched procedures. He served a two-year sentence starting August 2008 for the offenses and agreed to pay the patients $15,000 in damages.

The former surgeon voluntarily signed a document ahead of his prison stay that stated he would no longer practice medicine as a part of a plea deal.

"In 2006 Mr. Schreiber voluntarily relinquished his medical license to avoid administrative action by the Board of Medicine," Brad Dalton, a deputy press representative for the Florida Department of Health, told International Business Times Tuesday. "Florida law requires that health care workers practicing in the state must be appropriately licensed."

Dalton added, "The department has a robust health care licensing process which thoroughly reviews applications to ensure that only individuals qualified by education and experience obtain a license."

Schreiber, however, began posing as a medical professional following his release in 2010, the Sun Sentinel reported in 2015.

Schreiber's website once claimed that he was "known for his talented artistic surgical ability and expertise in handling difficult cases." He was said to specialize in breast augmentations, facial repairs and laceration repairs, among several other surgical procedures.
