John B Schlaerth, MD

Dr. John Schlaerth is a great doctor and surgeon. He is a very polite and caring doctor. He explains thoroughly to you the procedure and lets you ask questions.His staff is very friendly and open even the nurses at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital say I was lucky to have him as my doctor. I would rate him one of the best gynecologist and surgeons in Bakersfield.Thank you Dr. Schlaerth and God Bless you.

I was referred to Dr. Schlaerth when an mri said It looked like cancer on my ovaries. I was told this Dr. was one of the top surgeons in the country. After being treated by him I believe this to be true. What was supposed to be an easy surgery ended up with several areas of cancer that needed to be removed. I truly believe John Schlaerth saved my life. I am cancer free now. I am so thankful for Dr schlaerth being so thorough. He calls me himself and makes sure he speaks to me himself. He’s the best of the best. I cannot recommend him more.

I have been so blessed these last 5 years to have Dr Schlaerth as my Doctor, I have no doubt he saved my life. He is highly regarded by my referring physician. I was told by several of the hospital staff, how fortunate I was to have him as my surgeon. I have great respect for his abilities, and appreciate his friendly, caring way.

A mass on my ovary was found a week ago while I was in the hospital for an infection. I read Drs reviews, looked him online, and was absolutely terrified of my first consultation scheduled for today. From the reviews, I didnt know what to expect, from the info about Dr online, looking at his publications, etc, he seemed like a good Dr. I was already in tears when I arrived at the office, had a quick consult with a different Dr who told me I have a 9cm mass. Shortly after, Dr Schleurth came in and I instantly liked him. He was very kind, hugged me when I started crying, he answered questions, explained things and made sure I understood and I felt comfortable, reassured, and have total confidence and trust in this man. He wasnt rude at all, his office smelled clean, his staff is very kind, and I highly recommend Dr schleurth. I dont understand the negative reviews he was given here, because mine was a very good experience considering the situation. Thank you, Dr, for helping me. You are appreciated, more than I can ever find the words to describe.

Dr Schlaerth , the best experience Ive ever had with a surgeon, he removed a large tumor in my stomach and was very explanatory in every step of the way and made me feel comforted he was very kind and knowledgeable this is a very professional office I would recommend it to anyone ,he explained to my husband everything after surgery and I was taken care of very well by him during the eight days in the hospital.

Dr John Schlaerth is one of the top 50 Oncologists in the Country. He performed my Surgery in 2015 and not only am I now Cancer free but the likelihood of recurrence is nil, per genetic testing. I chose not to have Chemo or Radiation, that’s how confident I was and he is in his abilities (you may choose or he recommend differently). I was in the hospital within 2 weeks of Dr Schlaerth’s diagnosis and urgency to proceed so that the Cancer was not allowed to spread. I would recommend him in a heartbeat and Thankfully, I’m still here with that heartbeat because of him!His son the Anesthesiologist however, What a jerk!

We were referred to Dr. John B Schlaerth following my grandmothers ovarian cancer diagnosis. He is so absolutely rude and cold hearted, this man is probably 75-80 years old if I am not mistaken and should not be treating patients. He has no empathy nor patience. He kicked us out because we didn’t take a disc from a CAT SCAN she had done. We had no idea we needed to take it no one told us so. He kept cutting me off saying we should have known and pointed us to the door. We are looking for a better doc unfortunately this will take more time, Time that unfortunately my grandma might not have.😭

Dr Schlarerth is a Great doctor. The girls that work for him are wonderful , Louise and Davida. I would highly recommend Dr. Schlarerth. I feel very blessed to have him as my doctor 🙏

Not a good Dr. The office smelled like Mildew, that was for Patient files was on the floor in piles very unacceptable for a business that’s supposed to be caring for people who have cancer and for a doctors office it was disgusting, The doctor didn’t even look at my CT scans nor did he do a proper exam or ask for any labs to be done or any test to be done to see what was going on with me he didn’t look at my paperwork from my previous doctor to see what was the outcome of my reasoning for being there yet he wants to diagnose me to stage three cervical cancer and say that I’m only got a year to live

Beware! Very bad negative experience in 2016. My original review was removed sadly. Newly diagnosed and uncaring arrogant doctor. I would not want anyone else to experience what I did.
