Pacific Bariatric Surgical Medical Group, Inc. Bariatric Center

When I first met Dr. Rumsey I wasn't too sure of him. He seemed nice, but I have a fear of doctors. He was strict. His staff was nice. Now when I was in the hopital I seen how caring he really is. He would hold my hand while talking and he didn't rush me out of the hospital. He involved me in the decisions he made. He really wants you to stick to the plan. He told me about the risks of surgery and makes you get up and walk on the plane. I would highly recommend him. I think he is a very nice man. One problem I ran into in San Diego is with Southwest. No matter what- get two seats so they don't humiliate you like they did to me.

I cannot say enough good about Dr Zorn. From my first consult he was always willing to answer all of my questions and was very honest. He said this would be a hard road but worth the effort. So far he has been correct.
He stressed to me how important it is to follow the protocal and if I didn't I could have life threatening problems. In the beginning his straight forward approach scared me a bit but it was what I needed to make the right decision.
I would rate him super overall...he is a good surgeon ,competent and honest..no sugar coating just the truth.

Dr. Rumsey was great from the start. He is very friendly and very professional. He really cares about his patients. The office staff were equally friendly and professional. Dr. Rumsey stresses that you follow the protocol so that no complications arise. He is very personable. He even wanted to meet my kids when they came with me to my 1 month post op visit. He's very honest about the risks of the surgery, but then reassures you by sharing the statistical information for Pacific Bariatric. What little worries I had about complications were alleviated by Dr. Rumsey. If I had to do again, I would choose Dr. Rumsey. He had both surgical competence and great bedside manner. This was my own personal experience with Dr. Rumsey.

very nice and to the point. Dr. rumsey did me right. he is very nice and patient. He did his job and did it well. I am very pleased with my choice.I could not ask for a better experiance.

I first met Dr. Zorn at the lecture in Riverside, CA, on March 17, 2005. Being that I know a few people who had the same Dr. I had a bit of information about him already. I thought that he was informative. He took the time to answer ALL questions from the people at the lecture. He was very patient and not rushed. I met Dr. Zorn again in San Diego, on March 29, 2005, at my surgeon consultation. Again, I just really like that he is very informative, and patient. I've learned that although they follow a certain set of rules, some of the rules, Dr. Zorn is willing to adjust. I think that future patients should know that they can ask him whatever they want to know, and he will give you his HONEST oppinion, just be prepared to hear it. At the lecture, you will recieve a Protocol of things to do with the surgery. At the surgeon's consultatiion, you will also recieve a patient booklet, with information. During the consultaion, Dr. Zorn, explained how I'd be feeling after the surgery, and what I should be doing when I got home. Although I'm well aware of the risks of the surgery, Dr. Zorn, explained the risks as well. I think everyone at Dr. Zorn's office were wonderful. Everyone made me smile and even the patients in the waiting room were ALL nice. I think that the warm and friendly atmosphere carried through the entire office. If I had to rate Dr. Zorn and his staff, on a scale of 1-10, the would get an 11, hands down!!!!!!!

My first impression Dr Zorn. He know what he doing!

I have to say I didn't care for the man at first. I felt he was a bit "Harsh", I later came to realize he was just very HONEST! That man saved my life & I will be eternally grateful!

DR. ZORN WAS SO NICE AT OUR FIRST MEETING.AT THE HOSPITAL HE WAS ALWAYS RIGHT THERE FOR ME. HIS OFFICE STAFF WERE VERY NICE TO ME, I HAD NO PROBLE. DR ZORN IS EVERYTHING YOU WOULD WANT FROM A SURGEON!! YOU'RE GIVING ALL THE INFORMATIOM BEFORE AND AFTER.HE GOES OVER ALL YOUR AFTER CARE WITH YOU.HE WORKS WITH YOU AS A PERSON,ITS ALL ABOUT YOU. HE ADDRESSED THE RISKS OF SURGERY,WITHOUT MAKING YOU WANT TO TURN AND RUN AWAY.COMPETENCE AND BEDSIDE MANNER ARE ONE THING.I WOULD RATE DR. ZORN 100%

My first impressions of Dr. Zorn were at the information that I attended in Bakersfield, back in January. I was impressed with his ability to clearly explain the surgery, risks,and benefits in a way that I could understand! I tend to be rather like a stick,intellectually speaking, so it was nice to understand what he was talking about. My surgical consultation confirmed the first impressions - no rushing through the visit. Dr. Zorn took the time to answer questions and talked again about the aftercare and the importance of exercise. Very encouraging.

On initial meeting he seemed very quiet, not rushed, though I know he was behind. He took the time to explain everything to me and even called my husband in, after examining me, to explain procedure to him. He also answered his questions. He was confident and seemed to have a good sense of humor. Aftercare is extremely important to all the docs at Pac Bar.
