lrn was very open, and professional. He was able to answer all my questions and I felt very comfortable with him, enen after only meeting with him one time. Pacific Bariatreics offer such friedly services. They answer calls and process information in a professional manner and there are never any long delays between asking questions and receiving answers. There is no structured aftercare program in the San Jose area, which is the only drawback to having the surgery away from home.
Dr Zorn was very friendly, readily answered all questions,discussing risk/benefits of surgery. The support staff at Pacific Bariatrics in San Diego was very helpful. returned calls in a timely manner and were very informed about what I needed to do,etc.
I live in No Cal, and my aftercare will be handled by Kaiser but I will return there for my yearly check up.The only negative is that they need to work on establishing consistent support group meetings in the No Ca area.
Aftercare was emphasized as well as what I needed to do tp get ready for the surgery, IS starting protein supplements,vitamins C.b-12,multivitamins with minerals. Also instruced to begin exercizing( for me walking back and forth in heated poos for 45 min yto help get ready for surgery.
Dr. Zorn was very good. He made me feel very at ease, and He was very re-assuring. The female Dr. who assisted him, I think it's Dr. Mary Murphy was also great. I never met her until the morning after surgery, but each visit from her made me feel comfortable and confident.
About the nurses, they were fine. I had no problemems except that it took quite a while at night to get there attention. Also, if one attempts to take your blood pressure on top of your IV, make them do it elswhere. :)
I first met Dr. Zorn when I went to the informational seminar at Pacific Bariatrics. I got a chance to talk to him briefly after the seminar, and I found him very compassionate and witty. I met with him on 01-19-01 for my surgeon appt., and he offered to do my surgery laparscopically. I am very impressed with Dr. Zorn, and from everything I have read about him, I will be in good hands.
Dr. Zorn treated me with respect. He was very caring, and took the time to answer all of my questions. He explained everything in great detail. I feel that he is a very competent surgeon, and he also was very compassionate. I have no complaints about the surgery in general or the care that I have received since my surgery.
