Jefferson A Bastidas, MD

I can’t say enough how great Dr. Bastidas is, he explains everything in terms you understand, and he has great patient etiquette. His office is super clean. Would definitely recommend Dr. BASTIDAS!

Dr. Bastidas performed four surgeries on me over a five month period of time. I feel his expertise and competence saved my life. Not only is Dr. Bastidas an outstanding surgeon, his bedside manors and interpersonal skill are exceptional. My disease was complicated and during my lengthy stay in the hospital Dr. Bastidas somehow managed time to stop by every day and check on me. Dr. Bastidas was straightforward with me on a variety of issues and was always open and candid about my illness. What a wonderful doctor!

I had a brief experience with Dr. Bastidas and I am very grateful for his help. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and was set to get Kaiser insurance (bad idea but we had our hands tied at the time no knowing any better). Kaiser would not take my father (who was in severe pain) until a few weeks later when their enrollment period opened. Dr. Bastida’s office informed us immediately of an open spot and that he would see my father. He evaluated my dad, told him the facts and outlined possible treatments he could have (that Kaiser would have to manage. ugh). So in the interim Dr. Bastidas was available and responsive to a person who needed someone who could help him when the Kaiser bureaucrats wouldn’t.
Moving forward. My father recently died in a Kaiser hospital. We knew Dad’s days were limited but the entire Kaiser experience was mismanaged with negligence on the part of the whole medical team who should have been responsible for my father’s comfort in the least. My father suffered unnecessary pain due to the Kaiser oncologist and hospice team who were difficult to access in an emergency. They are unable to understand with word «Proactive.»
Had my family known what we know now we would have kept my father under Dr. Bastida’s care even if it meant paying significantly higher for the quality treatment.
Dr. Bastidas was very matter of fact, no false hopes but just told it like it was/​is. I appreciate this and the patient needs to hear the truth. My brother is a Kaiser member and was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. He is stuck at Kaiser at the moment but I am urging him to change insurance and to perhaps see Dr. Bastidas for future treatment.

i love this dr. he is hilarious, and so real. he saved my mothers life in emergency surgery and kept it real what to expect. we got we got so lucky that when she almost died he was on call to save her .He gave his opinion on what could help and when he was at a loss he found out answers and referred when he needed to. and i am eternally grateful to him. highly recommend him
