Dmitri Baranov Bariatric Surgeon MD, PhD, FACS, FASMBS, DABOM

He is passionate about helping people reach their weight goals and goes above and beyond to the satisfaction of his patients

My friend had a Bariatric bypass 2 yrs ago and I was so impressed with how happy and healthy she is now, I had to look into it. From the start, Dr. Baranov and the Saratoga Bariatric Center made this an easy process. I'm 1 week past my surgery and I feel good. I know this was the right decision for me, to be healthy and happy for decades to come.
Each step is explained in detail. Always someone to answer a question if it can't be found on the papers they send home with you at each visit. I was treated with respect and support.
The day of the surgery, I was fully prepared for what to expect. All of the nurses were fantastic. Dr. Baranov spoke with me prior and made me feel safe. I was nervous but once I was laying there speaking with the Dr, I knew I would be fine.
A few hours later, I woke up in very nice room, a bit dizzy but I felt good.
I was out of the hospital 18 hrs later and on my way to a new, healthier future. I'm so excited for what is yet to come.
If you are thinking about this, call Dr. Baranov at the Saratoga Bariatric Center and sign up for the webinar. It's worth it and he's a fantastic surgeon that cares about you getting better.
Thank you Dr. Baranov!

At first I was extremely apprehensive as surgery is such a big decision. After doing some research, I decided on Saratoga Bariatric, with Dr. Baranov. Once I attended the information session and completing my first consultation my worries and concerns subsided and I was able to focus on this life changing decision. “ Dr. B” and his whole staff are with you every step of the way, they provide materials to review and guide you, give direct consultation, and most of all support and encourage. Another positive, all appointments run on time, no lingering in the waiting room! They provide their phone number on every document and welcome you to call anytime you have a question ( no judgements!) they truly want to help. You will of course have to commit to the program ( no halving it here). You under go a whole process to include health assessments, mental, physical evals to get you prepped and ready. This is all in a complete effort to help you reach your goal and sustain success. Plus Dr. B’s attention to details continues to the hospital, he met with me just prior to surgery, asked if I had any last questions or concerns. He and his staff checked on me post surgery, He called the nurses later in the evening for a status report . The nurses all know Dr. B’s expectations and absolutely adhere to them. A few days post surgery ( a Sunday) he called me to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. Dr, B and his staff doesn’t do this just for me, this is his regular process with all his patients. Imagine a surgeon going out of his way to check on his patients directly! I’m on my 6th day post surgery and I can already see/feel the difference when walking downstairs, knees do not hurt. Can’t wait to see/feel all the changes.
Thanks to Dr. B and his whole team, the receptionists, nurses, nutritionists, PA and all for helping me truly get a second chance to live my life!!!
Just Amazing!

I want to express my heart felt thanks to Dr. Dmitri Baranov and his whole staff at Saratoga Bariatric. I started my journey October 2021 and just had surgery on September 2022. I had the gastric sleeve and am a week post-op. I am on the mend and really feeling good! Dr. Baranov even called me on Sunday to check on me!!! That right there shows how dedicated he is to his patients and that he really does care about us and what he does. I have never had a doctor check on me let alone on a weekend! I would highly recommend anyone looking to have bariatric surgery or even if your just looking for information that you should reach out to Dr. Baranov and his team! Thank you Dr. Baranov for helping me start my new journey!

Dr. Baranov is the most thorough doctor I have ever seen. His attention to detail, preparedness and clear expectations set him apart from all other surgeons. Throughout the entire process of preparing for surgery, I doubted myself. I thought for sure I would not go through with it. I wanted the surgery, but fear took over. When it came time for my surgery, I was still nervous, but not as much because I felt confident that Dr. Baranov had been so thorough in planning, testing etc that I felt comfortable going through with surgery and I am so glad I did. Post Op , I was blown away with the care I received. Every nurse, tech, assistant was well aware of Dr. Baranov's expectations and once again I felt confident under his care. Dr. Baranov is a hands on surgeon. He was in communication with my nurses daily, sometimes more. He saw me in my hospital room himself both before and after surgery and has called me personally at home to check on me since discharge. He goes above and beyond for his patients and I feel very fortunate to be one of them.

Dr. Baranov and his team at Saratoga Bariatrics are amazing. He was very thorough and explained the different surgical options in detail. He examined me and got medical history and discussed what would be my best option to move forward. He provided educational materials, online resources, and webinars so I could make sure I was comfortable with the procedure. He provided very clear expectations for before, during and after surgery. With his assistance I was able to lose 39 pounds prior to surgery. I am currently one week post op and feeling great. I have lost 14 pounds since surgery and have not had to take even a Tylenol for pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Baranov and his team if you are considering a weight loss procedure or regimen. They are highly qualified, patient and attentive. Having this surgery is life changing for me and the only thing I would change if I could, is that I should have done this surgery years ago.

This was the best thing I ever did for myself . Dr Baranov and his staff have been wonderful . They are very supportive and on top of everything . If you are considering this surgery it will be the best thing . Thank you do much to Dr B and all his staff.

Dr Baranov and his staff are
excellent! They really listen to you and answer any and all questions. I highly recommend them if you are considering having weight loss surgery!!

Doctor and staff, as well as hospital were very nice, thorough and informative. Would highly recommend!!

So far so good. Had surgery on 7/27/22 & had a little gas @ soreness for a few days. Otherwise feel really good so far. Just in my first week but looking forward to results. The team was great when prepping for surgery & then the aftercare was great. Would highly recommend if you are thinking of doing Gastric Bypass!
