"I went to pre-register and have the labs, ekg, cxr done today, and what a beautiful hospital it is.. very up to date, and very friendly staff. No complaints so far.."
"I had my Surgery consultation with Dr. Kazantsev, on April 25, 2007. They took my picture, weighed me, took my vitals, etc.. when the doctor came in I was so nervous.. We spoke of my dieting history, my health, and why I wanted the surgery.. I was so nervous, all I can remember is the discussion about all the complications that can occur. I know it is important for the surgeon to let you know all of this, but when I left I felt like he did not want me to have it?, I was so upset I called Myra & Helen, and of course felt much better after talking to them.. His office staff is wonderful, The doctor is very professional, a little difficult to tell if he is joking or not, seems calm & collective. I think we will get a long just fine.. We better... I plan on being a life time patient.. After all, this is a Life long change.. My doctor is above all very competent from wha I am told, and have heard from the support groups.. He has a wonderful staff, and aftercare program, not to mention you feel like one of the family, at your first visit."
