The Kane Center Bariatric Center

Dr. Rantis is awesome and so is Alexian Brothers Hospital! Dr. Rantis talked me into the sleeve, because I wanted to lose over 100 pounds and the band can fail in this area. Otherwise, everything was smooth. The surgery was awesome and I barely had an pain, just gas pains. I was visited by a ton of Dr. Rantis' staff in the hospital. I am 43 pounds down in 25 days! Thanks!

I researched to find a doctor that do revision surgeries and several came up. I first we to U of C and didn't like anything about the place. I then called Dr. Kane's office and was given an appointment right away. I was afraid to see him because of previous experience with the other doctor but when Dr. Kane came in I could tell that he was a good doctor that cared about his patients. We talked about everything and he started the ball rolling on the process. He called me personally and told me my results and recommendations and things have been moving on since. I know I'm in good hands and can't wait until I can write my post-op review about my surgery results.

Dr.Guske at the Kane Center has been great to me. He was there for me for the last five years, when I first had a Lapband done, until now, to be there for my revision. He is a caring person, who only wants the best for his patients.

sorry doc, your guilty by association,
hes really a great guy i think,
i only spoke to him 3 times and everytime he was reasuring it would all work out,
let me just say that the sale is amazing, but the service after sucks.
again not his fault, he probaly not even getting my messeges,

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Guske and the Kane Center. I had never had surgery before, and Dr. Guske patiently explained the entire process and answered my long list of questions. I never felt rushed or that my questions were silly or unimportant. I had absolutely no complications from the surgery and found my recovery to be much easier than I expected. I know that everyone's experience is unique, but having a highly skilled surgeon is the most important factor in having a successful procedure, and I would choose Dr. Guske again in a heartbeat. The Kane Center requires very thorough pre-operative testing and if you are also having to participate in a medically supervised diet to fulfill insurance approval requirements, it may seem to take a while to finally have your surgery scheduled. However, your patience and preparations will pay off in the end. Aftercare is also stressed, with the Kane Center requiring regular follow-up visits with lab work.

Dr. Rantis was a very sweet guy... he put me at ease right away he explained everything to me including the risk involved. The office was very neat. I am very confrontable with him being my surgeon.

The Kane Center in Hoffman Estates, IL is a "Center of Excellence" - a four surgeon group with a comprehensive practice covering many disciplines related to WLS. I feel comfortable that I will receive quality after care at the center, which is so important to long term success. I met with Dr. Rantis for my consult. Kane staff is very pleasant and professional - and VERY good at getting you approved! :) The various tests and insurance requirements are all laid out for you in sequence, with referrals to physicians. The practice is very focused on WLS, and it shows! Good pre and post surgical seminars and support groups are available - some are even required before surgery. I highly recommend the Kane Center.

He takes the time to listen. I have never felt rushed by him. He always praises me for my success, and helps me rationalize my negative feelings of not losing enough because I truly have been more than successful in his eyes!

Extremely thorough doctor always in tune with the needs of the patients. He has been one of the best doctors I have every gone to with the greatest personal touch. You are never rushed always answers all your queations with a smile & a thorough explanation. He has always made me feel confidant being in his care & his bedside manner is one of the best I have ever had. Could not have been to anyone better.

I love Dr. Rantis! He's a great guy and a great surgeon. He answered all my questions, kept me up to date on everything I should know and is a \"no bull-shit\" kind of guy. His staff is fantastic. Very caring and considerate. I would reccommend him to anyone in the Chicagoland area thinking of having the gastric bypass surgery. I always look forward to my appointments with him or his staff.
