"My roommate and I both had the same procedure on the same day by the same surgeon. We LOVED the care we were getting until the last night. We both had bad nurses...but we were able to report them to the right people that came directly into our room and assured us that they would handle the issue. The parking garage is pricey...but over all, this is a great hospital with an awesome staff!"
"I first saw Dr. Kazantsev at the informational seminar...he spent a lot of time discussing complications and did not seem to advocate having surgery. He was very straight forward and sincere. There was not even a hint of condescension. It took over a month after the seminar to get my first consultation appointment. He did not make me feel as if he was busy or in a hurry. He asked questions I had the answers to...and seemed to really listen to what I had to say. I think there was a little bit of misunderstanding...when I left there I thought the surgery was being pre authorized...when in actuality only the endoscopy was pre authorized. I thought I understood him to say that the endoscopy would be scheduled as close to the surgery as possible, and I also thought it would not happen unless it was a for sure thing that the surgery was going to happen. So far the only negative I can say is that there is no flexibility when it comes to appointments. Your appointments are given to you and you basically have to take what you can get.rnrnI had the endoscopy and Dr. Kazantsev is WONDERFUL...I didn't feel a thing! I am now awaiting the insurance pre auth!rnrnAfter surgery I can honestly say that Dr. Kazantsev is a wonderful surgeon. He is not one to sit down and talk with you...but his staff more than compensates for that. I at times wonder if I actually had the procedure done because I feel so normal. If you are looking for warm and fuzzy...maybe he is not for you...but if you are looking for the most competent surgeon who will get you started on the right path...look no further!!"
