Jason N Kanos, MD

This is my first and only Unilocal review… I feel so strongly about my experience with Dr. Kanos, I wanted to add to the long list of glowing reviews:
I wish Doctor Kanos could be my doctor for everything. Always calm, always available, always kind. Anything you want in a doctor, a nursing staff and an office– his practice exceeds all expectations. My husband and I are so happy to have found him and I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else!

Medically, Dr. Kanos is fine. However in the last eight months, I’ve had three separate incidents where I’ve been ill, and I’ve both been unable to see Dr. Kanos or another provider, and the office was unwilling to see if Dr. Kanos would prescribe me something over the phone for a simple recurring issue. They also refused to refer me to another provider. This office hinders healthcare, rather than facilitates it.
FWIW, I do not have children and used his GYN services only

I can’t say enough good things about this man.
What an amazing doctor. I moved to New York just under 8 weeks of my due date. I did my research both on my insurance company’s website, and on good old Unilocal,and he seemed to be the one, AND WAS I RIGHT! The office took me in, which as I understand, getting into a new practice so close to your due date can be challenging. Dr. Kanos was very pleasant, and easy to talk to and be comfortable with.
I had my first baby with Dr. Kanos, and I couldn’t ask for a better delivery. I am so grateful for this experience. He really eased me into delivering my son, and made it special by involving my husband in the delivery. When it came time to push, he was very calm and casual, and… before I knew it I realized I was about to meet my baby. Any fear or anxiety I may have had about doing this for the first time didn’t even surface, due to the relaxed environment he provided.
He is attentive to detail, remembering everything about mine and my husband’s personal life that we shared with him between visits. This really meant a lot to me! Any woman would be lucky to find Dr. Kanos as her OBGYN.
SIDENOTES: If you have Aetna for your insurance, he is a preferred provider, which is a bonus. His office is clean and well stocked, his receptionist, Madonna, always remembered me, and the nurse (I had the same one every time) was very sweet and genuine. I never waited more than 10 minutes to be seen for my appointment time, and never felt hurried during my exams.
Also, we brought him a key lime pie for Thanksgiving (I was due the day before), which turned out to be his favorite, in case you want to treat him ;)

Very excellent doctor. He is my second ob/​gyn doctor. First one was awful. I lost my baby. and moved from Arizona to NYC. He is so good, knows his job very well. When I didn’t feel moving I went without app, and told it is emergency. I overreacted, because I lost first one who had stopped heart beating. he knows my experience in Arizona, he said I understand you. Checked me with sonogram and told everything is good, showed me how my baby is moving. I couldn’t stop crying. My first ob/​gyn didn’t know that my results came back not good. after 15 days When I went with flu, I ask myself. After this he ask my case from nurse and read it. And told me to go to high risk doctor. He was really awful doctor. I had very bad experience. Now I am so happy. Jason Kanos is the best. When my results came back. he called himself and told everything find. I am so thankful to him.

I heart Dr. Kanos. I was referred to him by my primary care physician and I am so happy that he’s been my coach throughout the pregnancy. Sadly, I will be leaving him prior to my delivery in October as my husband and I are moving to San Francisco… and I am afraid that no doctor in SF will measure up to him.
He’s just so wonderful. He will patiently address any question you have. If you leave a message for him, expect a returned call that day! He will call with test results the moment they come in instead of waiting for your next visit. He has an awesome dry sense of humor and I love love love when we see him crack a smile at one of my quirky questions or descriptions of my pregnancy symptoms.
I am going to miss him and his wonderful staff.
Also check out his AWESOME ratings on zocdoc too!

Dr. Kanos is absolutely the most wonderful OBGYN and I would recommend him to any woman. I had to switch from a New Jersey doctor after moving to New York and after reading many reviews I decided to give him a try. He has been my doctor for 3 years now and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him. He was my doctor through my entire pregnancy and it was always a joy to visit his office. The waiting time in his office is very minimal, even though he will spend as much time as you need with him. He not only thoroughly explains things to you but he will also sit patiently and answer ALL your questions tirelessly and happily. He has a great personality and sense of humor which makes it a joy speaking with him. He and his staff are top notch, professional and always flexible when I need an appointment. His office is immaculately clean with tons of interesting reading material and a staff of people who will research and explain any insurance questions I had very quickly. Dr. Kanos is an extremely calm and rational person, he made my time in the delivery room a zen experience. Having him as my doctor throughout the delivery surely added to the fact that it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. He is so positive, calm, reassuring and knowledgable that it sets the whole experience completely at ease. For my delivery I was admitted to St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital and it was a great experience. He doesn’t share a practice and as such he is the doctor who will deliver your baby and this was very important to me b/​c I wanted a full service practice like his. I have many friends who have doctor/​hospital/​labor horror stories, I was thrilled to have had a trifecta of perfection for my pregnancy journey. Beyond this– he is always attentive, knowledgable and thorough with my regular visits. Your search for a doctor is over, I promise you will be very pleased!

It feels kind of weird to be writing a review for an OB-​GYN, but I know how stressful it can be to find a good doctor — especially for something as important as having a baby. And Dr. Kanos is, without doubt, the best doctor I’ve ever had. Period.
Dr. Kanos was my doctor throughout the pregnancy and birth of my son last year. He has a laid back personality and dry sense of humor that helped me cope with the jitters of being a first-​time mom.
I had a fairly uncomplicated pregnancy, with a few scares along the way. Every time a potential problem came up, Dr. Kanos was very attentive and supportive, but in a non-​alarmist way. I think this latter quality is very important — so many OB-​GYNs are so worried about being sued that they seem to be afraid to let you live a normal life while pregnant, give you an opinion or simply tell you that it’s going to be okay.
Prenatal appointments were easy to make, and his support staff (assistants and nurses) were all lovely to deal with.
And because Dr. Kanos is not part of a group practice, choosing him as your doctor means that, subject to unforeseen circumstances, he will be the one delivering your baby. Actually, he was present throughout my labor — yep, the entire thing — something of a rarity these days!
He checked in on me regularly after the birth, which was a nice and personal touch. And when I experienced some postpartum complications a few weeks after delivering my son, he was extremely proactive in helping me to resolve the problem (including being available by phone after business hours).
The only negative, which actually has nothing to do with Dr. Kanos, is that his admitting privileges are solely with St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital. While I had a fantastic birthing experience there, the postpartum care by the nurses left a lot to be desired — perhaps I was just unlucky, but thought it worth mentioning.
