Dr. Oza is a phenomenal doctor. He is professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Dr. Oza used a sincere way in which he talked to me and my family. He teaches, informs, and works his magic to take care of the medical needs at hand. Furthermore, his office staff, nurse, nurse navigators - Samantha, oncologist Dr. Fangman, and radiation oncologist Dr. Park is a few of the medical professionals I have come to know during my cancer journey. These people have been outstanding humans helping other humans. These professionals pick up the phone every time I call! They have been kind and compassionate from my first phone call! I was told to go only to NKCH because they are the best in women's health. My family and I have experienced that to be true. Thank you. Juline Norman and Family

05/22/2025

I am Regina Sims. Mangesh D. Oza; is an incredible surgeon. He made me and my husband feel very comfortable. He took the time to explain my procedure and was willing to answer any questions. Great experience!!!

05/11/2025

Dr. Oza and his staff have been extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I am glad I have been referred to him.

04/22/2025

The staff was courteous and fun. Even though I was late, no one made me feel rushed or were impatient. Dr. Oza was a pleasure to meet and thorough.

04/17/2025

Dr. Oza, MD. Is a very fine doctor who has helped me with my diagnosis very quickly and professionally. I fully recommend Dr. Oza, MD to all that needs his services.

03/27/2025

It was a pleasure meeting Dr. OSA. He was informative, thorough and left me confident he will do an outstanding job on my upcoming procedure.

03/12/2025

You have a superior and professional staff that did an excellent job in taking care of my physical and .mental needs. Thanks!!!!!!

03/06/2025

Dr. Oza is superbly professional. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient centered, empathetic & compassionate. His great interpersonal skills provide a charismatic, approachable and communicative level of health care for his patients.

03/06/2025

The doctor seems compassionate and kind. The office staff very friendly and helpful.

02/22/2025

Dr. Oza is the best surgeon in Kansas City! He did my lumpectomy in 2019, & in 2021, my double mastectomy when the breast cancer returned. He also operated on my dad for bile duct cancer. He is the MOST caring, kind, thoughtful and honest doctor I have ever met. Unlike most surgeons, he performs like a plastic surgeon when it comes to scarring and care of the incisions. Most surgeons are like, you get what you get, but Oza minimizes scars and helps ease your concerns. Oza is also the only surgeon that will continue to follow up and genuinely care about what happens to you. Most doctors that deal with your cancer treat you like it doesn’t matter, Oza deeply cares about his patients and wants you to survive this awful disease! If you need a good doctor, go to Oza. He’s the best, hands down! I love him!! ❤️

01/31/2025

I was very happy with my doctor. I really felt like he was doing his best to listen to me to get the whole picture of what was going on with me and he wasn't rushing me.

01/30/2025

Dr. Oza is an excellent surgeon. His surgical skills and bedside manner can’t be matched. He took time to explain all the pieces of my breast cancer treatment from before the biopsy to the follow up mammogram in six months. I felt confident and very much at ease as we navigated through this process and was pleased to be given choices in the treatment plan. I truly recommend Dr. Oza to anyone needing a surgeon who is highly skilled and compassionate.

01/30/2025

Yes,nice gentleman, listen to my complains and may a recommendation,quick to see, would recommend him to everyone

01/29/2025

I was seen by Dr Oza after being discharged from the hospital, referred to him by the hospitalist. It was to be for the adhesions I have which cause me pain & excessive distension of my abdomen. He ordered an upper GI, which he told Ime at the office visit would help him see where the connections were from my multiple prior surgeries. We knew there was no obstruction per studies done when I was admitted thru the ED. But he seems to have forgotten that conversation. His office staff simply relayed “you have no obstruction, so no need for surgery”. He had also requested records from my prior surgery in 2015 which he obviously didn’t review. He came highly recommended, but obviously doesn’t pay attention to what his discussions with the patient (me) entail. So disappointed.

01/23/2025

He spoke confidently which assured me that he knew exactly what needed to be done and made recommendations. I appreciated him, taking the time to answer all my questions and felt like he had a firm understanding of my needs and concerns. I have scheduled surgery with him next month as I feel confident of his ability.

04/04/2023

Dr. Oza is a very genuine and patient surgeon. I would recommend him for whatever you need to have removed or fixed! Plus he has a sense of humor. Having breast cancer it was nice to not have any negative vibes.

04/03/2023

He'll have you discharged without pain manageable. He writes the discharge orders up before the surgery. Doesn't speak to the patient before surgery. My family member went in to pre-op without even knowing what they were having done! The Doctor yelled over the phone at the RN and then to the young wife of the patient. I will NEVER recommend this Doctor to take care of my pet, let alone a person I care about. 1 Star because it requires it.

03/02/2023

Super nice man, answered everything and have me info I didn’t even know about.

03/27/2021

Today was suppose to put in a port for chemo and was unable to do so. Took the day off for this and it was a waste of time. When I had my Masectomony he was suppose to call my contact to let him know how my surgery went and he never did. Today he went out to tell my ride what happen with surgery and more less told him that he would have to tell me that he could not put the port in and my ride asked him if he would tell me when I came out of surgery and he said that he would call me. Nurses in recovery said that he had not showed up and they had to go out and my ride for what Dr Oza said to my driver. I told my Onoconoligist that I wanted KU Radiology to do it and some how he weasled his way in to do it. Now I have to wait even more to get the port in to have chemo.

10/15/2020

Very professional, helped me out immediately with my gallbladder problems.

07/27/2020

Took care of my elderly mother for two cancer surgeries over 6 years. Very caring doctor who explained all of her options. Highly skilled and humble man. I would recommend Dr. Oza if you want an experienced, compassionate down to earth surgeon.

05/26/2020

My own doctor just repeatedly prescribed antibiotics for diverticulitis every few months. He said I would just continue to experience infections every so often. In the consultation room ollowing my husband's resection my daughter asked how he determines when surgery is an option and when he heard if had 5 episodes over two years he calmly said now would be the right time. He actually had his staff contact me, gather my records and schedule the my surgery for to weeks after my husband was released. What a blessing. As all above have said Dr. Oza is compassionate, very skilled and was able to call my concerns. I have recommended Dr. Oza to everyone who has needed his skills. Linda Newman November 2016 .

02/24/2020

Did exactly what he said he was going to do and recovery was exactly as expected. Very good results.

10/08/2018

Excellent bedside manner. Actually had fun in the OR! I would definitely recommend ! Everything went off without a hitch! Great OR staff!

10/04/2018

Dr. Oza has a wonderful and caring way about him. He takes the time to explain what will happen during a procedure, all of the possible options, how it will impact you and provides a detailed explanation of why. He treats you with respect and compassion. So refreshing to see compared to the last Dr. I used for a former surgery/procedure. I feel at ease knowing that he will do whatever it takes and that he is doing everything for the best interest of the patient.

04/12/2017

Dr. Oza is an excellent surgeon with highly effective communication skills. He's also very personable and makes you feel comfortable immediately. He explains things in easy to understand language, listens intently to you, spends as much time with you as needed, and follows up effectively after your surgery. A great combination! He also has an excellent team. I highly recommend Dr. Oza for your surgery needs.

03/16/2017

Dr Oza has performed 2 surgeries for me. Exceptional care & excellent results in both cases. He sincerely cares about his patients. Would highly recommend Dr Oza to anyone.

10/05/2016

Fantastic experience. I was so nervous with lots of questions. Dr Oza was so patient, kind and took time to answer all my concerns. Incredible surgeon. My surgery and follow up care could not have been better. I would recommend him to everyone. It is so rare to find such a skilled, compassionate, and personable surgeon. A++++++

09/29/2016

I met Dr. Oza at the emergency room when I stricken by acute diverticulitis. He patiently explained everything to me. Two other doctors had been consulted previously, and neither offered any solution. After surgery Dr. Oza followed up daily and made sure I was receiving the necessary pain meds. I saw one review that said he didn't take care of his pain and didn't care. I would dispute that. After surgery you will have pain, but it can be controlled somewhat, and Dr. Oza did that.

09/27/2016

Dr. Oza is a fabulous surgeon. He saved my life! Everyone else missed my diagnosis but he got it right!

05/13/2016

His pain management was horrible. My surgery was very painful and he gave me no pain medicine. He dismissed my pain. He hurts people and does NOT care. What a horrible guy. His fees are very high as well. Not very warm and doesn't take people seriously. Don't look to this man to save you, go find another surgeon. I don't know how to tell his office what a mean guy this person is and why I won't follow up. If you want to be in pain, go see this guy. I wish I could warn people more about this guy.
