He is very serious and tells you what the experience will be like and what to expect afterwards. He attempts to sway you away from the procedure and opt for others in order to see how serious you are. He appears to be very sincere and knowledgable about the whole procedure.
My first impression of Dr. k was "all business', but after the surgery I saw him smile, and show much compassion and concern. He is a great doctor, and I would use him again. His medical insurance person Debbie Coy was with out a question, the best thing that happend to me in that office. She worked to get the insurance approved, but mostly she was encouraging, supportive, kind, and just there for me. more than is in her job discription, I'm sure
Dr. Kazantsev put me at ease immediately. He's very business-oriented, practical, and approachable. He's an M.D./Ph.D., which meant a lot to me since we have a common area of expertise (Biochemistry), and I know he cares about the metabolic causes of obesity. His understanding of morbid obesity from professional, emotional and social viewpoints made me very comfortable placing myself in his care. He did not require a lot of pre-surgery prep that would have demotivated me and left me drained before even going into surgery. Basically, just show up. He is very optimistic, positive and supportive. I really can't think of a single negative comment on Dr. Kazantsev.
My first impression was that he was very straight forward and to the point. His office staff Debbie C. is wonderful, always kept me up to date on everything happening. The only thing I did not like at first about Dr.K was that he talked a lot about the risks of the surgery.(kinda gave too much info). Now after my surgery I am so very thankful the lord blessed me with such a wonderful doctor. My impression of him now is that if I had to do it all over again or refer anybody I would choose him.
Dr.K is very straight forward and seems to really care about his patients. He doesn't smile much..lol. I learned in the hospital that he does smile after all.
I would have to say that his surgical competence is wonderful! His bedside manner after your first visit to him is more relaxed and continues the more you see him.
Overall I would rate Dr. Kazantsev as an excellent doctor. Scale of 1-10, I would give him a 9.5.
