Thorough, patient, competent and friendly. Surgical team was excellent.

I found Dr. Ottem to be thorough and competent. He was friendly and patient in answering all my questions and describing the procedure and what to expect. Absolutely no pain from the surgery, and only some occasional discomfort while healing afterwards.

After being being diagnosed with prostate cancer in Vancouver, Dr Ottem performed my radical prostatectomy. I cannot speak too highly of this wonderful surgeon, his caring office staff (Sandra) and the wonderful staff at RIH. Thank you all for my extraordinary treatment and your kindness! Jerry Cutler
