"I was very impressed with Dr. Baranov, he was very easy to talk to and answered each question so that I could understand exactly what was going to happen, and he followed every answer with "and I'll tell you why" while never making me feel uncomfortable asking any question. I was more impressed with him with each visit he was always friendly and very supportive. One of the most important things about Dr. Baranov is that he never once made me feel bad about being obese which made a difficult emotional process that much easier.
Prior to my discharge from the hospital he gave me a verbal quiz on what the most important things were again emphasizing the importance of following the after care protocol.
I would rate Dr. Baranov as an excellent surgeon.
In this particular doctors case you really don't sacrifice on either surgical competence or bedside manner as he performs both with ease. "
