New to Oakland, Ca
Dr. George Kazantsev 510-869-8972 the staff is awesome...DeAngela, Myra or Helen will answer the phone. His PAs are Brian and Megan...they are both wonderful as well. My surgery went very well...I had absolutely no pain or complications and so far after 8 weeks I am down 37 pounds. I have not been sick at all!! He is not the warm and fuzzy type...but his staff makes up for that. He is a great surgeon and I felt that was more important than someone that would hold my hand and rub my head. Helen, Dr. K's RN came to the hospital to see me BEFORE surgery...was there when I woke up in recovery to give me my teddy bear to cough with...and visited every single day. She too had RNY so she knows what you are going thru because she has been there herself. So, even if you never see Dr. K, you will still have awesome care. How are you doing with the surgery? How do you like the Bay Area?
