Dr. Janet Kay Ihde, MD

I've been a patient with Dr. Idhe for 20 years or so. She is amazing, I feel very lucky to know her and have her as my doctr.

5 stars all the way. Super physician; saved my life.

Excellent doctor. Listens patiently and does whatever she can to help relieve stress on patient.

I chose Dr. Janet Ihde for my surgery, because of her impeccable reputation.

She's the best breast cancer surgeon in the area. Would not have gone to anyone else. However, the wait time in her office is not great and some of her office staff are difficult to deal with. I believe my surgery was delayed because the staff person did not follow up on getting it scheduled until the day I called them - 2 weeks after I was told it would be scheduled.

Dr. Idhe is a very good doctor, her office staff however is rude and incompetent. They dropped the ball several times with a family members scheduling of various tests and appointments.

Dr. Ihde is the best darn oncology surgeon thre is. Totally without ego and totally committed to caring for you and removing your cancer. Her support staff is incredible and extremely organized. Her waiting room is wonderfully comfortable and I would gladly wait hours to see her. I found myself in Palm Springs when my diagnosis was made from a biopsy done in Minnesota. I decided that surgery and recover in the warmth of the desert would be preferable to the continuous ice and snow at home. It was the best decision ever made.

What a gift she is to medicine.

No nonsense, kind, gentle and extremely well respected. Excellent office staff and assistants. TOP RATING!!!!

I am a professor and cancer biologist and Dr. Ihde is the best- hands down. I have Stage IV cancer and she has been the key to my long-term survival. She is caring, patient, takes time with you, and is an excellent clinician and surgeon. If you have to wait for her (see reviews below)...well, get over it. Whenever an oncologist or health care professional sees my scars, they say "Wow! What good work!" She is the best. I thank her for my life.

The Physician and all of her staff are extremely knowledgable and they always return calls within a timely manner. Having to wait is nothing when it comes to have the CORRECT surgeon do your surgery, as well as the correct staff to guide and assist you also. I highly recommend Dr. Ihde to everyone. I guess you can never please EVERYONE. Dr. Ihde knows her stuff and talks to you as a person (one to one), without an ego like the other surgeons I have seen in the past.

I truly believe the doctors ability and competense is at a very high standard, her bedside manner and communication with patient and family is very poor. The office is completely disorganized and they are extremely poor In their follow up and returning phone calls. It was very frustrating especially when you have been told you have cancer but cannot get the appropriate answers .

she is the best!!!

Dr. Idhe is actually one of the best around to see. I've had a couple of surgeries with her, and I am confident in her abilities. I agree with the other review that you sit there forever waiting to actually be seen, but on the other side of the coin, she is very willing to spend as much time as you need answering questions - and when it's something as scary as the "Big C" it's nice to have a doctor who understands our needs for answers.

Althought i feel that Dr. Idhe is a compitent surgeon, her waiting time in her office is not acceptable...90 minutes!!!
