I have always felt very comfortable and trust DR. Oettel with my care, he makes me feel as though he has my care and particular needs are a priority. DR. Oettel is very good at explaining my situation to me and is very open about what stages he feels I am in, what the next steps should be

Dr Oettel is a great oncologist. I have always felt he listened to me, never rushed things , was knowledgeble about my condition , treatment options.

Heme/Onc has had the best patient care for years. They explain things very carefully to the patient and treat the patient as a partner in their healthcare instead of someone they can dictate to with no explanations. Other departments should learn from them, especially Cardiology where statements are made "that we go by protocol" instead of looking at the patient in front of them and tailoring treatment to the individual. Protocol may be the way to go but then explain why it is the best option.

Doctor Oettel is an outstanding doctor and carrying person. I've all the respect in what he does for the patients of Gundersen. Has always answered my questions and helping within his control to address my health issues over the last couple of years with working through lung cancer and other medical issues.
