I cannot find the words to describe the difference The Woman’s Center has made in my life. They are superb. Professional, tremendously skilled, patient, kind, and extremely caring. Under their care, I am progressing to a “new normal” that will allow me to step out into the world, confident in my bladder and pelvic floor health. Patricia K

I was extremely impressed with the thorough exam that Dr. Kelly Kantartzis gave me as a new patient. She had me complete medical history forms, then asked me a lot of questions, in great detail, as to what the purpose of my visit was. I sincerely felt as though she cared about me. When I went back to work, I told a lot of my female co-workers and I highly recommend her.

Dr. Kantartzis did an amazing job on my surgery. After seeing three doctors that could not help me, Dr. K was a breath of fresh air! She is caring, understanding, kind and knowledgeable. She took the time to listen and understand my issues. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor! She found what was causing my pain and fixed it. I feel so much better and can start living my life again. Thank you Dr. K!!!

I came to The Woman’s Center thinking my enduring incontinence was going down a blind alley with very few options for resolution. What I experienced was the exact opposite. My options opened by doctors beyond my expectations. With the kind of help the doctors and staff provided, I was able to return to a more normal life. My treatments were both professional and compassionate. I was treated with dignity and privacy. At my first visit I was given hope. By the last visit I experienced success. Thank you Mary M.

I was very nervous to have surgery & repair a long term issue I was having. After having put it off for many years. I came in to see Dr. Kantartzis. She has excellent bedside manner and really listens to her patients. She gently and expertly repaired my problem and I had a very quick recovery. I don't know why I waited so long - my quality of life is so vastly improved. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I don't see how you can improve on an A+ rating! The facility is beautiful, the staff is friendly, and I cannot find the words to describe the difference Dr. Kantartzis, Cindy, and Andrea have made in my life. They are superb. Professional, tremendously skilled, patient, kind, and extremely caring. Under their care, I am progressing to a "new normal" that will allow me to step out into the world, confident in my bladder and pelvic floor health. I will tell everyone who will listen to me, and even some who don't want to, about the Woman's Center for Advanced Pelvic Surgery. The day I made my first appointment was a life-changer. Thank you for the opportunity to express my extreme level of satisfaction!

Dr. Kantartzis is absolutely amazing. She takes extra time with me when I see her and she makes sure she has answered all of my questions. She has personally called me after surgery just to see how I was doing and to see if there was anything her or her nurse could do for me. She has been great and I would recommend her to everyone.

I have worked with Dr. Kantartzis and many of her patients. She is caring, compassionate and goes above and beyond to deliver excellent patient care. She is accessible to her patients, often personally returning their phone calls or calling them with test results. I would not hesitate recommending her to a family member.

Dr. Kantartzis is amazing. She is so sweet and listened to my concerns. She took the time to really explain the different options of care and what she felt was best. The office is hands down the most beautiful office I have ever walked into. More of a Spa feeling than a doctors office, and the music was awesome. I can't wait to recommend this office to others.
