Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

NOT OUTPATIENT surgery!
I highly advise the vaginal reconstructive surgery for Uterine and or bladder prolapse NOT be OUTPATIENT.!!!My experience with this surgery performed at Chandler regional hospital in AZ, was one of the worst experiences I’ve had with medical care.In regards to Dr Kantartzis, the surgery I had should NOT be out patient, and it’s important to understand each person’s body response is different and not all surgeries performed are equal. I let Dr know pre surgery I wanted to stay in recovery as long as possible. I told the recovery nurse who was getting me dressed before I woke from surgery I wanted to stay. She put my shoes on and put me in a wheelchair with ZERO RECOVERY time!!! That caused a whole path of more pain and issues leading me back to the hospital to be readmitted.My hospital nurse said a lot of doctors want patients to leave to soon. I blamed recovery nurse , she said we see a lot of Dr. Kantartzis’s patients in here.Others were shocked it was outpatient !!!

Excellent and Amazing!
Dr Kantartzis is absolutely the best! I had seen other doctors to discuss a hysterectomy and I really felt like I could trust her and she answered all my questions. The Women Center staff is also excellent and they all give you a caring environment, both before and after surgery. I can't thank her enough and now after surgery, I feel so much better!

I could not have been referred to a better doctor/surgeon. Dr. Kantartzis explained my condition thoroughly, explained my surgical options, and patiently answered all questions. On the day of surgery, I was a bit nervous, but her bedside manner was so reassuring that I was able to be confident. In the days after surgery, I experienced minimal discomfort, and soon I returned to a normal routine. My two-week follow-up was with Jennifer, a nurse practitioner, who also explained everything very thoroughly. Eight weeks after surgery, I am 100% healed and I am thrilled with the results. Dr. Kantartzis is a surgeon with incredible skills and her entire practice has been wonderful to work with.

Dr. Kantartzis ruined my life. She sewed some muscles and a nerve together that she shouldn't have in 2019. I was in excruciating pain for 2 and a half years and lost the ability to have intercourse because she made the vagina too small. I walked with a limp and couldn't sit in a car. I finally found a surgeon to fix her life altering mistake, but they couldn't make me 100%. You failed me Dr. Kantartzis. You lied to me and tried to cover up your mistake. Shame on you.

Dr. K is amazing and even that isn't high enough praise. The office staff was friendly during scheduling. The nurse was so friendly that I was immediately put at ease. Dr. K came in with a smile and talked to me like a person, not a robot spouting medical jargon . She made me feel comfortable, took the time to listen to me, made sure that she understood my concerns, went through all my history, never made me feel like my questions were dumb nor was she ever impatient. Dr. K also addressed something (totally separate from the reason for my visit) that others doctors have said "Oh don't about that, it's nothing". Dr. K told me she would feel better erring on the side of caution. This is what I consider top notch care. Dr. K gave treatment options, explained her recommendations and let me make the decision. I can honestly say I have never had an appointment where I left feeling like I was a part of the decision making process and was left so at ease with the level of care given.

Dr. K was rude and short and was very dismissive of my concerns. She seemed as if she didn't believe me. I left the visit feeling very poorly and almost betrayed. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy see her. Stay away.
