Saratoga Bariatric Surgery & Weight Loss Program Bariatric Center

Dr. Baranov and his team are absolutely amazing! From the start of my journey until now after surgery, not once did I ever feel rushed or that I was taking up Dr. Baranov's time when asking questions about the process. When ever a question was asked he stopped and took time to explain every step that I didn't understand. His staff in the office also took time to make sure everything was understood and that I was comfortable. I spent a lot of time researching weight loss options and local bariatric surgeons, Dr. Baranov always had great reviews from previous patients and his practice always came up first in my google search .I have tried and failed with many "quick fixes" in the past... I am glad I found a doctor and a team that is truly looking out for me and for my new life!!

If only all doctors were like doctor Baranov. He personally takes a interest in you as a person and listens to you. He is willing to help you succeed in every way. Very thorough so he doesn't miss anything in your best interest. He is straigh forward and honest. If he could be my primary doctor I'd be happy. You're definitely not treated like a number here.
Due to medical reasons I decided to take my life back by losing the weight and getting healthy again. With his help I started losing weight right away.. Something I struggled to do for many years. I was shocked. I thought I was eatting well and doing things right. I wasn't. I was taught how to eat right.
I'm over a week post-op now and doing well. Losing even more weight. I was shocked when he himself called me to check on how I was doing. Something no other doctor I know has ever done. Other doctors pass you off to their nurses to call. With him calling himself you know his thoughts directly and he knows how you are himself.
Sometimes you like the doctor but not the staff. That was not the case here. His staff is just as committed as he is in your success. Anytime I called with a question I was given the time and information I needed. I never felt stupid or rushed in getting the right answers. They truly want you to feel comfortable and properly informed..
If you want a doctor and his staff that cares for you as a individual and your success doctor Baranov is the doctor for you. I can not complain about anything and you won't either.

Im 5 days out of surgery and i feel great!. After i left the hospital Dr. Baranov called to check in on me see how i was doing and if i can hold down fluids and everything. He seriously has so much passion and seriously cares about the patient and their health. Dr. Baranov and his team always make me feel so supported and judgement free. His entire team are simply the best, have such wonderful energy and love for their line of work. Im beyond thankful Dr. Baranov set me up to a healthier and successful life. The entire program him and his team stick with you and never once let you feel lost or confused on what the next step is. Thank you so much Dr..Baranov and team!

Dr. Baranov is absolutely incredible. Upon meeting him, I knew he was different than any other Dr. I've ever had. He was kind and compassionate.

The nurses were all so good at explaining the steps that needs to be taken and all of the appointments I'd have to have in order to have the surgery. Dr. Baranov also was very thorough in explaining everything necessary. His webinar is incredibly well done and details everything perfectly.

The day of surgery he came in prior to surgery and explained things again. The day after surgery he comes up to your room to check on you prior to discharge and tells you about your surgery. He even calls after you're home to see how you're doing.

I highly recommend Dr. Baranov. He truly is great. Thank you Dr. Baranov for helping me get my life back.

Words cannot describe how diligent, informative, supportive, and amazing Doctor Baranov has been during my journey. He is very straight forward, and extremely professional in his work. I’ve recently had my procedure and had so many people point me in his direction and I’m so happy I did. First best decision of my life was getting the surgery, second is choosing him as the doctor. I have a long journey ahead of me, but I know I’ve got this. Thank you Doctor for a start of my new life.

I am 6 days post op and down a total of 43lbs so far. I would not have ever been able to do this with the guidance of Dr.Baranov. I have tried and failed several times over the years this is the first diet I was to stick with success before surgery and after. He was upfront with all information and was there to answer any and all questions I have had. I want thank Dr.Baranov for giving me my life back.

Excellent, thorough and compassionate. You can tell that he is really looking out for your best interests. There was a question about my discharge from the hospital following my surgery and he called me after hours to make sure I could go home that evening. He called me the Sunday evening after my surgery to follow up. If you’re hesitant to get surgery or are unsure who to go to, Dr. Baranov is the doctor to talk to. He will go through all of the options that may not include surgery and he puts all of the information out in the open and has you leaving his office feeling informed. My boyfriend and I are both using him for VSG.

Dr. Baranov and his entire staff have gone above and beyond for me from the very first apt. Staff always answers any questions and Dr. Baranov called a few days after surgery to personally check in on me and answer all questions I had. My gastric bypass surgery was seamless with no complications . At the start I was struggling to make the decision what WLS to have, Dr. Baranov sat with me explaining all the differences, benefits and risks, he didn’t let me leave until I had all my questions answered . I would highly recommend him for any WLS procedures .

I have battled obesity almost all my life. I'm diabetic with high blood pressure. I heard about Dr. Baranov through friends and my primary doctor on how professional and excellent he is. I decided to look into it. Best idea ever. Dr. Baranov and staff are exceptional. Caring and very informative. Everything was explained through.

I had a great experience with Dr . Baranov. He is every attentive, friendly and willing to answer any questions or concerns you may have. When you see him, he wants to know your opinion on what you want on weight lose. He takes the time to visit you while in recovery. He even calls you to check up on how you're doing at home and would like to know if you have any additional questions or concerns. I wish I could give him a higher rating. Best surgeon I've ever had.
