Pacific Bariatric Surgical Medical Group, Inc. Bariatric Center

I really liked Dr. Zorn, he came in the exam. room with a big smile and a soft voice.He seem to think that I will do well.He explained the good as well as the bad. He LISTEN!!! My bigest complaint on doctors of today, to busy to listen.

My surgeon has been an absolute wonderful person and supporter of my walk to losing weight! He is always supportive, kind, understanding, and funny at time too! I really love this man. His reputation preceded my choosing him, and I was so happy inside to find that he is a human being that anyone can talk to about concerns they may have and not feel as if they are being just another patient cut out of the same mold. He listens!! And more importantly, Dr. Rumsey hears what you are saying. Thank God for men of his caliber, caring, and professionalism in this Bariatric field. We need more surgeons whose heads aren't in the clouds, and that CAN RELATE to patients like us. He even poses for pictures with me on visits as I lose weight, and gives me a great hug for my efforts! I love this man.

I was very impressed with him during his presentation at the PB seminar. He was very thorough and answered questions with authority, knowledge and compassion. Upon my consultation with him, I knew I had made a good choice. He reinforced my first impression of him. I am 48 years old, and have seen many doctors. At this point, I would recommend him very highly.

Dr. Zorn was lovely. He noticed I was English and we spoke about a recent trip he and his family took to England and Scotland . It was probably the millionth time he had gone through the Q&A bit with a patient, yet it was as though it was the first time he was saying it. He listened and answered all my questions. He approached the risks honestly but didn't scare me to death with them. I would recommend Dr. Zorn to anyone that has him as an option.

Dr. Zorn is a great surgeon. My first impression of him was knowledgable and friendly at the same time. My impression of him never changed and still remains the same post-op. The office staff were a little less receptive and friendly and seemed disorganized at times, but in the end the job is done and I'm happy. Dr. Zorn really emphasizes exercise and eating after surgery. The aftercare program is very structured as is the entire program. They make it very easy on out of town patients. He did address the risks of surgery. I would rate him a 9 out of 10. Both surgical competence and bedside manner are excellent.

My first impression of Dr. Rumsey was that he is a gentleman, a kind and compassionate doctor and a man who would change my life. I trust him completely. Dr. Rumsey was the surgeon who operated on me, however, I did not see him again as he was out of town. I was seen by Dr. Leo Murphy and Dr. Mary Murphy. I have confidence in all of the surgeons of the group. What impresses me the most is the committment and compasion to each patient. I found Dr. Mary to be a good fit for me as her passion for her role is contagious. She encouraged me to get up and go on with my life.

I had confidence in Dr. Rumsey from the minute I met him. He really believes in what he is doing and the good it can bring to people's lives.
He and/or the other drs. in Pacific Bariatric are available for questions before and after the surgery.

I have heard from other patients that he appeared brusk and a little rushed when he met them (especially during the checkups while in the hospital). But even while busy he really did seem to care and be responsive.

I would reccommend him (and have done so on numerous occasions) to anyone interested in having the procedure.

First impression of Dr Zorn, unsure


Over time I found him to be a very kind and caring person.
Everyone in the office is very kind.


I don't think there is anything that I didn't like about Dr. Zorn.

That he is a very kind and caring Doctor.


He let me know that it is very important for me to follow through with all of my aftercare

not sure

He let me know up front what the risk and the benifits of the surgery were.

I would rate Dr. Zorn at a 9

I believe both are the best to have, it help you as a patient feel more at ease.

I cannot tell you enough about Dr Rumsey.He is at the very first a very warm and direct man. He is thorough in his evaluations of his patients and their specific situations. He answered all of my questions, even the very silly ones, with patience and knowledge.
His office staff is also wonderful, helpful & patient. They fully understand the anxieties & frustrations of going through this process and were always there to help with the hurdles, be they paperwork or moral support.
DR Rumsey works very hard to ensure the success of his patients. This means he seems a little strict on the pre surgery weight loss & conditioning. I know that because of the time I spent preparing for this surgery physically & mentally It was a success.
Aftercare is the other side of success. In order for the surgery to be an enduring success aftercare & post op diet rules need to be followed scrupulously. He was very upfront about this. The program they have is very structured and set up in such a way that it works wether you reside locally to his office or very far away.
Dr Rumsey is rated at a 10++++++ I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon, or a warmer bedside manner. And that isn't just the drugs contributing to the warm & fuzzy feeling.When I saw him a couple of months post op, when his job was "done", he was just as nice & still willing to answer my questions & take the time to evaluate me. I understand that all of the surgeons at Pacific bariatric are great, but I think Dr Rumsey is simply fabulous. If you have any questions at all about my experiences with him, Pacific Bariatric or Scripps Mercy Hospital , please feel free to email me at [email protected].

Dr. Rumsey is wonderful. I would highly recommend him to anyone! He's attentive and compassionate -- cares very much for his patients. Takes a great personal interest.
