George Zorn, III Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr Zorn is terrific! He has a wonderful sense of humor and is excellent in his profession. The staff is extremely helpful!!

Dr. Zorn was great.

I have only met with Dr. Zorn once. My impression of him was nice guy, great bedside manner, didn't treat me like one in the herd. He actually listen to what and how I asked questions. He told me the key to the most weight loss was in following all the guidelines, exercise was a must and that the first 6 months was the time to loose the most weight.

Dr Zorn comes across as a caring, considerate and medically conservative surgeon. He carefully examined me pre-op, and explained the Pacific Bariatric criteria and program. He freely discussed his experiences, outcomes, and the risks I would undergo. He never failed to tell me exactly what would happen, how, and when. I really can't think of anything negative about Dr Zorn to share with you! I would highly recommend Dr Zorn or any of the other members of the Pacific Bariatric Group for your consideration. Their track record is excellent and experience and depth vast. Do your due diligence, and you will likely end up here. As I am just barely post-op, I can't say much about aftercare except to say he insists on a commitment from his patients to follow up, forever. The office staff at PB seems to be somewhat less organized. I had to make repeated phonecalls to get my address changed properly and to get my pre-op packet. During the 3 month period I worked with the office staff, there was staff turnover, and I never knew who exactly to call to get things done. That aside, I can recommend Dr Zorn to any one who is serious about their health and willing to put forth the effort to make the program successful. In my book, SURGICAL COMPETENCE is what I am paying for. Dr Zorn's great bedside manner was simply a bonus.

I first met Dr. Zorn at my Pre Op appt in January of this year. I found him to be professional and he answered all the questions I had. When I had my surgery on June 23rd, he was kind and caring. In the hospital he would stop by everyday to see how I was feeling, encourage me and tell me when he would be back. On my first post op visit, he actually sat down (on the exam table!) I got the comfy chair to sit in. He gave me post op instructions and told me to be sure to call if I had any problems. The first two weeks, I made several calls to speak with the nurse about post op things.
I am an RN and don't expect alot of hand holding. I wan't a competent surgeon who would get me safely thru and he did.

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.

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.
