"My first impression of Dr. Rantis was good. But I was skeptical.
Overtime my impression changed for the better because he was so helpful with any question that I had. I faxed him a list of about 10 questions that I forgot to ask on my initial consult and he called me at work and asked if I had time to go over my questions with him. He was wonderful!
I only met one of his staff members (I can't recall her name) but she was nice.
I haven't found anything about him that I haven't liked yet.
He is very honest, but he has a great "bed-side" manner.
He, along with the Weight for Life program, does have an ongoing aftercare program at the hospital!
He addressed the risks of surgery very graphically but as honestly as he possibly could. And that's how I prefer it.
I guess if I had to give him a number on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being the best, being that I am pre-op and don't know how everything is going to turn out, I would have to say a 7. Hopefully that rating will increase, as my weight decreases.
Both are very important! I think that it goes hand in hand!
