Hi,

Does anyone know anything about the center?  Did you have surgery with Dr. Wittgrove?

Are you talking about Dr. Wittgrove in San Diego?

I'm in San Diego, but my insurance would'nt cover Dr. Wittgrove.  I do know him, though... he's not only a client of the company I work for but one of my co-worker's had him for RNY 6 years ago.  Here in San Diego he uses Scripp's Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, one of the finest facilities in the State of California.

I understand he is very good with his patients and has great follow-up care.  You'd do well with him.

I'm also in San Diego, who did you go to? I had Dr. Ellner at Alvarado.

I had Dr. George Zorn, III at Pacific Bariatric in Hillcrest.  My insurance is Kaiser and since they don't do these surgeries there, they 'farm it out' to Scripps Mercy.

Thank you, I am scheduled for surgery there.  I'm from out of state.  I appreciate the info on the hospital!

He's one of the best surgeons in this area and beyond for sure... FYI if you didn't know that was Carnie Wilson (Wilson Phillips) surgeon for her original RNY in the 1990's I believe.
