Dr. Kent Dauterman, MD

Dr. Dauterman was knowledgeable, informative and professional. The visit with him could not have been better.

Listens well. Friendly.

See above

I am always well treated by the very friendly staff. Dr D is the best. So caring and friendly!

I was sandwiched into the schedule to review my heat monitor results. The nurses were efficient but quite impersonal; however Dr. D. was efficient and personal. He explained the complication of my heart problem and what to expect of the new medication. Great smile.

Answers all questions, personable, very thorough. Does not rush through concerns. Highly recommend.

He told me about the medicine I take for my afib and what it could do to me

I really like Dr. Dauterman. He’s direct and to the point. Answers questions competently. I have a high degree of confidence in his treatment of me and my condition.

Dr Daughterman is easy to talk to and asked me details of my issue, not just relying on records .

Knowledgeable and engaging. Glad to have Dr.Dauterman in charge of my care.

Timely, friendly,and efficient

Dr Dauterman is quite thorough and lays it on the line. Other than that, we are still evaluating my case.

Very personable

He went over everything, listened to us, he’s excellent.

Dr. Dauterman was very thorough and patient helping me to understand what was going on with my ticker. I felt fine and was doubtful there was something serious but after he explained the complexity of what I was sent there to see him for I became a believer. I should probably thank him for adding a few years to my life with his sage advice.

It's been ten years since I've seen Dr. Dauterman, and I have only seen him twice. I established with the doctor the knowledge base of my health and what medical procedures were acceptable for me and he was very respectful of my personal decisions. I would see him again if need be.

Asked me what I had been doing the past 3 years, as I had not been to see him, and then told me, "Now shut up and listen to me." I had not been to see him in three years due to his prior arrogant demeanor.

I took my 97-year-old father to his visit. Dr. Dauterman had "squeezed" us in because his office had rescheduled my dad's appointment the evening before without effectively communicating that AND without checking that it was okay (it was not because Dad and I both had to travel far). We were informed that Dad had missed 2 appointments when we arrived at what we thought was the correct time for his appointment. Dr. Dauterman had failed to confirm the first appt with his assistant, so it was on the books but no one had informed us of the time/date. The second was the one that we were reportedly 2 hours late for. I work in a medical field and found Dr. Dauterman to be very knowledgeable in his field. That being said, he was brutally honest with my dad in a manner I felt was unkind and unnecessary. I watched Dad's hope die when told he did not expect Dad to be around come Christmas, which my dad dwelt on every day until he died in November. See a different doctor if you can.

I had been written off by 3 cardiologists, given a short time to live, because I had refused open-heart surgery. Dr. Dauterman, and his awesome staff, inspired my confidence. Two years ago he performed only his second carotid TAVR and replaced my heart valve. Within a few days, I was back to a normal routine. Now, at 81, I feel years younger. I can take walks and climb stairs again. Medford is fortunate to have such a talented surgeon.

I would not refer him. He missed that I was given too small an aortic valve, replacement for congenital heart defect, resulting in patient-prosthetic mismatch (PPM), that caused more damage to rest of heart and congestive heart failure. He also “fat shamed me” and blamed all my symptoms on being overweight. I was evaluated at OHSU, Baylor Texas Heart Institute, and U of Colorado Health where I underwent 5 hrs of second open heart surgery to get a larger aortic valve and procedures to stop atrial fib., and fix an aneurysm. I now feel great, no longer have to use oxygen, no longer have A fib, and kidney function has improved. Hopefully, my heart will continue to heal and undo damage caused by too small of valve. This doctor missed all this and did not take me seriously for 3 years. . It was a bad experience. I would not recommend him or Asante.
