Great surgeon! Improved my quality of life!!

Been my urologist over 6 years and been great on explaining steps and procedures

Dr. Oefelein diagnosed my husbands prostate cancer in January 2022 and had him in the hospital two weeks later. The surgery was a success and he has now been cancer free for two years. Dr. Oefelein and his assistant Allie are a great team and do everything possible to make you feel like you know exactly what steps are being taken to get the best outcome. We are deeply grateful for the care and attention he’s taken with Alan from the very beginning of our journey to now. We highly recommend Dr. Oefelein and would not hesitate a second in offering everyone a referral to him. He’s also just an awesome human being with a great sense of humour!! See ya in 4 months Doc!

Dr O has walked us through this crazy journey. He’s thorough, listens and even jokes with us. Thnx Doc.

Great place for securing the best.

It is truly a blessing for my husband and me to have met Dr. Oefelein. He is an exceptional doctor who saved my husband's life. Dr. Oefelein showed great compassion. My husband had a previous kidney tumor surgery in 2018 at Providence Hospital in Mission Viejo. Unfortunately, his kidney cancer was back in 2023, and two other doctors in Bakersfield refused to perform the surgery due to his past medical history. Dr. Oefleine listened to our story empathetically and agreed to take on the surgery. His expertise and professionalism were evident. Before the surgery, he thoroughly explained the laparoscopic nephrectomy procedure, ensuring we fully understood it. Despite discovering potential risks during the surgery, he promptly communicated with me and decided to change from a laparoscopic nephrectomy to a radical nephrectomy to save my husband's life. Dr. Oefelein's friendliness and dedication are noteworthy. He has provided regular care for my husband, offering encouragement during every 3-month follow-up visit. Additionally, he managed our time efficiently, ensuring minimal appointment wait times. The staff, particularly Stella, the receptionist, were kind and welcoming. However, there was a slight delay in responding to my message left at the office.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Oefelein! I have been a patient of his for several years, and have always been impressed by his professionalism, courtesy, and care.

I’ve known Dr. Oefelein for years from where I worked and took care of his pre and post operation patients. He’s done 2 separate operations on my husband as well. He communicates with patients great and always monitors their recovery closely. I speak from experience. I’ve worked with a lot of surgeons, he’s one of the best.

Allways hand an answer to my questions and concerns. Best in Bako. A good handyman, too. An even better surgeon.🤣🤣🤣
