Peter Sarantos Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

My first impression of Dr. Sarrantos was that he was very knowledgeable, caring and easy to talk to. That has not changed throughout this procedure and followup. His staff is professional and caring, and take the time to talk and explain everything. I have had NO problems with the doctor or his staff. Aftercare is very important, with an 18-month followup program. He explained all the risks of surgery to me and my family, in words we could easily understand. Overall, he is the best! His surgical competence, bedside manner and caring attitude are all the best.

My first impression of Dr. Sarantos umm...I'm sure was the same as any other woman lucky enough to have him for their surgeon. He is one of the most handsome men I have ever seen. Usually this would make me a tongue-tied idiot. But he immediately comes across as warm and open. I felt completely at ease as he explained the surgery, risks and advantages. I'm a normal lay person and he explained everything where
I could understand it. REALLY UNDERSTAND IT!

The office staff, not just one or two but ALL, were courteous, tactful and very eager to help you in what-ever you needed. One thing, "YOU GUYS MOVE OUT OF THAT OFFICE WITH SUCH A SMALL WAITING ROOM." HOW ABOUT IT?? SHIRLEY VAUGHN deserves a MEDAL!! I'm sure other folks bugged the daylights out of her and not just me. (LOL) Shirley I love you for all the help and support you've shown me with the insurance requirements. Your the BEST!!!

In my book, Dr. Sarantos and his entire staff are wonderful. I would highly recommed him and his staff for WLS. There is a highly structured aftercare program and that's one of the main reasons I chose this office.

Overall, I rate Dr. Sarantos AAAAA++++
His surgical competence, and bedside manner are truly remarkable!!!!

**I traveled alot further than necessary to have this surgeon complete the surgery. It was well worth it.**

Dr Sarantos was great from begining to end and as I continue on my journy he has been so great and his staff is wonderful. Would I do it again? OH YES!! and I wouldn't do anything differently. He has a great bed side manor. He does emphasize aftercare and he has an aftercare program. He answered all my questions so that I would under stand them and had no problem re-explaining them if I didn't. I would recomend Dr Sarantos to anyone.

What surprises me is the fact that he did explain the necessities to my bf and I. Rather quickly! It was as if we were on an assembly line. The nutritionist is one of those 95 lb. women who has that look on her face (you know the one that incredulous look of "how did you ever get to this point?") The nurse was and is wonderful, thre coordinator is great with her (Needless)presentation. I've had several phone conversations with the insurance coordinator (Shirley) and she is extremely helpful. All in all, I feel they've done their jobs so well that they are starting to treat people like numbers instead of individuals. This website has answered more questions than they have at the surgeon's office. So AMOS. Cheers to YOU!

I have only seen Dr. Sarantos one time so far. My first impression was that he knew the surgery well, that he was very compassionate, he listens to your concerns and educates you so that you understand the total process. I feel very comfortable and I believe that he will do a great job.
He was straight to the point with the risks of the surgery, but very confident that if I followed his directions, everything should go without complications. Dr. Sarantos has an 18 month program that I feel is esential in the changing of my life.

I've met with Dr. Sarantos twice. He is very concerned that you understand every aspect of the surgery and that your willing to make the life changes that will make both you (the patient) and him (the surgeon) sucessful. I felt very comfortable with him and felt that his staff and dietician had a great game plan to help their patients. They have an 18 months follow up plan with the dietician to make sure your mind and body try to go hand and hand. I know I will have great success in his hands.

I felt very comtable with my surgeon. <BR> He was confident, and he explained the good <BR>and the bad. Not to mention that he is all so cute. <BR> The program really stess after care for 18 months.

Dr. Sarantos is wonderful!!!!!!!!
Would recommend him to anyone considering this surgery!
I love the fact that he treats me like a person not some fat blob, he's straight up with me, about what he expects from the surgery, and from me after the surgery.

His office staff are great!!

future patients should know that he's the best!
aftercare is probally second to surgery, He believes in a strict aftercare reigem.
He has a great aftercare program.

He was straight up with me about the risks involing surgrey, and wanted me to discuss any fears I had with him.
He's a A++++++++++++++++
