Shofler Raymond A, MD

Straight asshole. Greedy Doctor. I wouldn’t trust him at all with medical billing.

Dr. Shofler was the best dr. i had to my recent visit to st. joseph’s hospital. he had the best bed side manner and made scheduling a breeze, his staff are 110%‘s with great attitudes. i would definitely refer anyone to him and his office. they think of the patient first. greg

Simply put, Dr. Shofler is the surgeon you can hope to work with you. He is kind, knowledgable, experienced and caring like no other. It was a privilege to be his patient and it still is.
He was the doctor on call at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank when i came to ER with abdomen pain, which turned out to be appendicitis. His team is exceptional and his work is incredible. I had NO pain after surgery (never had to take pain killers at all) and the incisions look like small scratches after only 2 weeks post surgery.
I read some negative reviews on this page, and not to disqualify them, but THIS doctor is capable of excellence and IS excellent.
5 stars out of 5!

I have had 2 surgeries with Dr. Shofler. One was to have a lypoma removed and one was to have a melanoma removed. My husband recently had his gallbladder and appendix removed and all of our experiences could not have been better. Dr. Shofler is a friendly, caring surgeon. He answered all of our questions and went beyond what was necessary to explain what would happen, before and after. In addition, the office staff, Carla and Jaime, are outstanding and extremely helpful. We were able to get an appointment quickly and there were no office waits. We would highly recommend Dr. Shofler.

I was admitted to saint Joseph hospital and was told I had to have my gallbladder removed due to gallstones it was my second time in the ER was too Dr Shofler will be the surgeon in charge of getting me all better! Surgery went great have had no more pain dwindle surgery I’m very happy he was able to help me went to my follow up appointment today he said everything is good! I’m so glad he was able to take care of me his great! Will recommend him!

I came to Dr Shofler after a failed open mesh surgery by another doctor. I have been in law enforcement for 25 years and needless to say was a little untrusting after the first surgery did not work. However, my apprehension soon turned to trust and respect after he did my surgery. First of all, the recovery was unbelievable. I never required any pain meds and after a couple of days was feeling so good I had to force myself to take it easy. Dr Shofler performed my surgery at the little surgical center on the same floor of his office. I cannot say enough about the warm, comfortable, and professional attention I received. Dr Shofler has a good sense of humor which I like because it made me know he’s human and down to earth. It also made me feel relaxed and take was the apprehension over having the surgery again. And last but not least, Dr Shoflers front office staff are awesome as well. They are very friendly and helpful.
If you are in need of a hernia repair, Im telling you from experience, look NO further. You are in good hands with Dr Shofler!

He gets the second star because the women that work for him are unbelievably nice and helpful. Carla especially goes out of her way to make sure that the patients are taken care of and happy.
He gets one star because he is a creep that when I went in for my consultation said «Wow, your legs are so long. Stick those puppies out so I can get a better look at them.» INAPPROPRIATE!!! He also made a joke when discussing my surgery and how he would need to slightly reform my belly button after making the incision saying «Or I can just make you not have a belly button at all so you survive when the aliens come.» Sorry, but surgery isn’t really a joking matter. Not cool, dude.
I ultimately cancelled my scheduled surgery with Dr. Shofler because I did not feel comfortable with how he spoke to me and the lack of information he shared with me during my consultation. He also listed 2 hernias on my paperwork, when never informing me that their was a second one at all. I did however find out that the fee associated with the second hernia (even though the surgery is still just one incision) is an additional minimal fee. (I personally think it is a ploy to make more $$$) I have the entire conversation with his office regarding this matter recorded– just in case.

I was referred to Dr. Shofler by 2 friends who had already had hernia surgery by Dr. Shofler. They were both very positive about him, and after my consultation I knew I didn’t need to see anyone else. He was very kind, obviously knew what he was talking about and answered all of my questions. I had some specific requests concerning the anesthesia and drugs that I did not want and those that were o.k. with me. He was totally willing to look at any requests I made and passed them on to the anesthesiologist before the procedure so that all would be lined up for me when I checked in. His office staff helped with these communications without any complaint and also called the business office of the hospital in order to get me financial information that I needed. As I had a few more questions before the surgery, they fit me in so that I would not be worried about anything. Dr. S. explained the procedure and was quite willing to listen to my needs. Many doctors only want to tell you their intentions but when it comes to listening they are not interested. Dr. S. listened and made me totally comfortable. The surgery went fine and although I hope not to need his services again, I will certainly recommend him to any of my friends who may be in need of surgery.
