I liked his manner and his demeanor right away and I think he is just great. My impression of him has not canged he's still great. His office staff is exceptional and just as great as he is. There is nothing negative to say about him. Future patients should go to one of his seminars that is posted on the Pacific web site. He emphasize a lot on his aftercare, I'm just not priviledge to be close to his since I live in another city. They do have a aftercare program but I have to find one that is close to me, altho I will have to travel to another city for my check up with the clinic. He is very pacific about the risk of surgery and it will do you good to do a lot of research on your own also. I would rate Dr. Zorin as first rate and a caring doctor. Both is surgical competence and bedside manner is great, just fantastic.

Dr. Rumsey was very kind and thorough and professional. He answered all my questions and reassured me that all would be well. I like him very much. Occasionally, he is a little short with answers.

My first impressions about Dr. Rumsey haven't changed.

The office staff is very efficient and very kind. They are encouraging.

There is a strong emphasis placed on aftercare and following all the protocols of diet and exercise. The aftercare system is very structured and clear.

The risks of surgery were addressed very candidly with a positive approach.

I think Dr. Rumsey is an excellent doctor.

Both are great!

Dr. Zorn appeared very professional and knowledgeable. At first, I felt at ease to be under the care of such a doctor. Though I did not feel a closeness that one wants to feel when placing yourself in the hands of the doctor that is going to be performing surgery on you. After the surgery, his warm, kind and truly devoted side came out. He truly cares for his patients and wants us to succeed! His staff is very friendly and helpful and they run that office in such order. I mean everything seems to just fall into place. There is nothing I really did not like about Dr. Zorn, but if I had to say something, I guess its his no nonsense, get with the program attitude. It just made me realize, I had to get with it and there was not room for not staying on track. He is stern about what must be done to keep me healthy and has given me written information for every single week and has monthly followups. Has a very structured after care program to make sure his patients are sticking to the program. He was very thorough about the risks of surgery. I give Dr. Zorn the highest rating! His surgical competence is the best! but his bedside manner sure took off once I landed on that surgical bed!

He made me nervous, but then I talked to him and thoguth he was great. Heis a straight forward man doens't joke or messs around he tells you like it is and expect you to follow through. he has a dry sense of humor but he is very nice.

His staff was great very nice, very knowledgeable and friendly.

not a lot he states in the paper work tht it is up to his patients to do the followup. I am unaware of any structure to followups.

Wow! Dr. Rumsey is the best! He is my "HERO" to say the least, he has terrific beside manner and always checked to see how I was feeling. All I can say is that you are as good as your "Surgeon" make you feel, and by all means "Dr. Rumsey" made me feel terrific! I am 9 days post-op and feeling great!

Even before surgery Dr. Rumsey let me know well in advance on what his expectations were and all of his suggustion before surgery were a plus because they were only suggustions that were benefical to my well being. I was truely blessed in having Dr. Rumsey perform my surgery... He is the "GREATEST!"

My first impression of Dr. Zorn was he was very kind and compassionate about the reason I was there. We talked about the procedure and he showed me where all the insisions would be. He stressed the importance of loosing weight now and start changing my eating habits so after surgery it will not be such a shock. I though his office staff was very courtious to me everytime I called and were able to answer all my questions without too much delay. I went to a seminar where they address all the pros and cons of the surgery and what all the risks are and ways to prevent them.

very impressed with his knowledge and how he cared about me
My impression of Dr zorn was only enhanced each time i met with him
Office is very professional and relaxed.
The staff were high motivational and helpful would answer all my questions or find the answer and answered back promptly
Never found anything about Dr. zorn I didnt care for .
After care was up to my regular doctor as Dr. Zorn lives hundreds of miles from me.
The risk of surgery was laid on very plainly to me and addressed very matter of factly.
Dr Zorn I would recommend to those I love the most as a surgeon.
Surgical competence is always rated high to me, my life is in his hands.

My first impression of Dr. Rumsey, was that he is a professional and gets right to the point in making sure you understand what this surgery is all about. He put me at ease and we were able to discuss any questions I had and answered those questions in verbiage that I could understand. After the exam and all of the discussion was complete, I felt that we both had a better understanding of one another and how to approach the other. His office staff was very helpful and didn't rush through anything. I didn't feel as though I was just another numbered patient.
Dr. Rumsey is very strict about following the guidelines regarding the pre care of the surgery and what you should be doing ahead of time to prepare yourself for the surgery. He was happy that I'd lost weight since the seminar I'd attended and requested that I attempt to lose another 10-15 pounds, which I had intended to do anyways. He stressed that if I gained weight, that it would postpone the surgery.
He is very thorough in the aftercare procedure and stresses that you go over the pamplet that is provided by the nurse and to make sure you call if you have any questions whatsoever! During his discussion with you, Dr. Rumsey will inform you of all of the risks and the percentages incurred by Pacific Bariatric patients, I have to admit, that the percentages where much lower for their patients as opposed to the national numbers, which gives me a lot of confidence in the doctors at PB. I would definitly rate Dr. Rumsey, on a scale of 1-10 as a 9, which might change after the surgery. But I have seen his surgical skills on one of his returning patients and he does cut a very thin and straight incision, which was healing very well for this patient.

Update: July 24th, 2004
What a great surgeon. I feel really great after Lap RNY. Busy guy but took time each day to see that I was OK. Was in no hurry to discharge me from hospital. Sorry but missed him at my post op appointment because I would have like to say thank you. Following his directions and feeling fine.


Dr Zorn is nice. He took 2 phone calls during my consultation which I felt was inconsiderate. He answered all my questions.

Staff was good. Front desk person munching on cheetos did not leave a great impression.

Dr Zorn asked about my excercize program and suggested that I join a gym. Which I have and at this point I like going (which surprised me) He didn't harp on my losing more before surgery but mentioned that it would be easier on both of us if I continue to lose before surgery. He told me to carefully read the aftercare booklet given to me by the front desk but didn't really discuss post surgery diet with me.

I wont visit with him until surgery. I wish we met again before surgery. I really don't feel like I KNOW him. BUT I have heard really good things about him and ultimately feel like its going to be OK.
