Pacific Bariatric Surgical Medical Group, Inc. Bariatric Center
Dr. Zorn was very personable, and informative. He is easy to talk to, open and friendly. However, it was obvious to me that he is quite serious when it comes to this surgery, and fully expects the patient to do their part as well. There is an aftercare program and you are expected to follow his instructions. I would rate him a 10! I felt he had a perfect blend of surgical competence and bedside manner.
I will be having my surgery done by Dr. George Zorn of Pacific Bariatric Surgical Medical Group in San Diego, CA. My first impression of him.....um, I liked him right away. I had to attend a seminar/lecture given by PBSMG before I'd even finished my classes. He was the speaker and his easy manner and approachability is what got me. When I had my pre-surg consult with him, he was very nice and made me feel oh so safe! He was not rushed or ho-hum about anything or any of my questions. I think he is the best choice for me! More to come....
POST-OP InformationrnDr. Zorn continues to be a great doctor, listener and just there for you. Dr. Zorn has a professional and personal bedside manner that makes it easy to go through the procedure from beginning to end. Dr. Zorn, the other doctors and staff at Pacific Bariatric are very easy to be comfortable around and to talk to. Pacific Bariatrics provides a monthly seminar at the Anaheim Plaza Hotel near Disneyland each month. The seminar details the gastric bypass and other surgeries as well as the pros and cons. The doctor providing the presentation sticks around after the presentation in case anyone wants to ask questions. All of Pacific Bariatric doctors are great and they rotate in conducting the monthly seminars.rnI will try to create some flyers to display at the monthly seminar for those interested in joining a pre-op and/or post-op Support Group. Good luck in all your future endeavors!rnrnPRE-OP InformationrnrnI met Dr. Zorn for the first time at the Pacific Bariatric Annual Reunion in San Diego on April 27, 2007. Dr. Zorn is a patient doctor who has listened, responded to questions and made time for me. His office staff is very very helpful. I don't have any dislikes for Dr. Zorn. rn
My First Impression of my Surgeon was how young he seemed....of course, then I realized how old I've become.
He was very clear in his presentation & discussion @ the risks of surgery.
Due to traffic conditions on my surgery date 3-12-2009, I was unable to greet Dr. Fuller prior to the procedure. He was wonderful about calling my Husband just after the surgery & they also met in the hall so to speak. Very professional touch!
Post operative meeting with Dr. Fuller in the hospital room was pleasant. He came with the UCD Bariatric team that will follow my progress.
I feel very fortunate to have UCD - Sacramento. The procedure & post operative recovery has been a blessing. My journey has been textbook & smooth. I'm grateful to have avoided the complications that some have written about in OH. I abide by my instructions dilligently.

I had a great feeling after meeting with Dr. Rumsey! I had my surgery on 3-6-09 and i was so pleased with how careing and attentive Dr. Rumsey was. I cant say enough good things about him. If i had to choose again i would only pick Dr. Rumsey. He was informative...knowledgeable and caring. My surgery went wonderful and i hardley have any bruising or discomfort. Surgical competence, bedside manner, both were amazing. I am lucky to have found such a great Dr. and bariatrics team!rnMichelle ~
Dr. Rumsey is a great doctor. Once I came in the office he introduced himself to my husband and myself and shoke our hands and made great eye contact. He has a great personality which made me feel at ease while visiting and meeting him for my consult. He was very smart and had an answer for every question. His staff was very helpful everytime I had any questions before my surgery if I needed to call. Dr. Rumsey will take the time to answer any questions you have no matter how much time is needed and he will not let you leave his office until he feels you are well informed. I am one of those people who is a little shy and he picked up on that and fully explained everything and I loved that about him! He makes sure you know the risk of surgery and that you have prepared for surgery. He also explains this is a TOOL for weight loss not a magical wand that will melt all your weight away. Excersice and diet are a must. He visited after surgery and is so pleasant and helpful. Afterhours he will give you his pager # and speak to other doctors (if needed) and follow up with them to check on you! He is great!
