Dr. James Lilja

Most of the lead up to my procedure was good, and I felt like I understood what was happening. During the consult he did give me a PAP for something I was not referred for. During the procedure he caused damage that led to me being hospitalized for several days, have major surgery to repair the damage, and several weeks of recovery. I fully knew I was a complicated case with my medical history, and in retrospect, I realized there was not enough consideration for that in regards to the procedure. I expressed concerns before I left the outpatient post-op, but he wanted me discharged anyway. They did not document that I expressed those concerns - which means in the eyes of administration and legal entities, it did not happen. Follow up appointments for my major surgery show that the procedure may not have gone as I was told it had gone (beyond the damage). I no longer trust this doctor, nor the doctor who referred me to him.

Do not go to Doctor James Lilja. I went to him at the Natividad Hospital because I had Endometrial Cancer; after he examines me, he decided to do surgery on me by just taking out my Uterus and I sign for that. On the day of my surgery, five minutes before he operated on me, a nurse came to tell me I have to sign a paper for doctor Lilja . This paper is to sign for taking out: my uterus, my ovaries, and my Fallopian Tubes not just my Uterus; he didn’t mention something like that before. What he did is he blackmails. In addition to that, he saw me after one month to tell me he examine the area and find out that cancer has started to spread to the Lymph Nodes on both sides on the left and the right. He said I needed chemo and radiology. I doubt it if he examines the area. Anyway, I went and I did radiology to make sure that the tumor bed is burned for good. This is how bad doctors in Monterey make money because they do not have any conscience what so ever.

I had a complete hysterectomy in 10/16 due to uterine cancer found. No pain at all after surgery due to Dr.Lilja's expertise & solid decisions. I found him to be professional, caring & thorough Iñ explaining the next steps of chemo & radiation. Great doctor, thank you Dr. Lilja you are the best!

He is a highly competent Doctor and he connects well with patients. I have never visited a male gynecologist ever and I was a little apprehensive but Dr. Lilja was very professional and he made me feel very comfortable with his friendly and caring demeanor. He is indeed the best!

My wife has cancer and a G.I. Blockage was life threatening. Local medical team lacked confidence for this complicated issue. Dr. Lilja met with us, listened and discussed fully the range of outcomes and what to expect if we pursued surgery. We went in with eyes wide open. Tough recovery. Wife now has chance for great life. It was hard to get in for that first appointment, but once you are in, he is there day, night, weekends etc. He also has great surgical teammate. DC to San Jose- :-

Great doctor
