Dr Kluftinger was kind and really helped to ease my fears about my gallbladder surgery. He did everything he could to ensure that I was making the most informed decision by making sure that any other potential causes for my pain could be ruled out. My post surgery experience was far better than I had expected and I recovered quickly, with minimal scarring. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Dr Kliftinger had to deliver me some tough news but he did it in a compassionate way while providing hope. I was diagnosed with a extremely aggressive cancer. He advocated for me and got all the rights tests done and to the correct Doctors that needed to see me within a week...over Easter weekend no less. He also made sure I knew when one of the tests came back with positive news. He has helped to make a difficult journey less stressful. I look forward to when my oncologist refers me back to him for my surgery.

I would love to have sung the praises of Dr. Kluftinger, a preeminent Kelowna surgeon, but alas my experience was Horrible and Tragic.

Dr. Andreas Kluftinger's response
I’m sorry your cancer was more involved than anticipated by the imaging. Unfortunately it is not unusual to find cancer at the margins and have to do further excisions. I am glad you are cancer free now and would encourage you to focus on that going forward.
Best wishes…Dr K

He was my surgeon to repair a mistake made by another hospital. My only regret is he can't be my regular GP.
