"WoW! He is very friendly and willing to answer any questions. He tells the patient the risks as well as what potentially could be the reward if the pt follows through. He is nothing shy of insanely hot, but his personality is very welcoming. I had great vibes. He doesnt treat the obese any different than he would a normal size patient. For the first time in years I didnt feel like a whale in the doctors exam room. He softly poked and proded my belly ( soon to be gone so I hope he got his fill! :) and made me fell very comfortable with my decision.rnHe started me on a preop diet and I am going to be 100% by the book. I told him before he left that \"I will be his star patient, I am going to work hard and lose the weight!\"rnrnSurgery day he was very comforting! He spoke with my family as well as myself before surgery. I was in pieces until I saw him, his presence is reassuring.rnHis bedside is as wonderful as he is. He took his time and again spoke with my family.rnI did my research before picking a surgeon. The nurses that have scrubbed with him at NFRMC say he is wonderful! He is kind to all of the OR staff, and the same Doc you know and love when your are under anesthesia. rnI would recommend Dr Sarantos if you are considering WLS. rnFeel free to emal me if you want more info and just want me to go on and on about this wonderful man!rnShannon"
