From the first I felt comfortable with Dr. Zorn, actually, all of the Doctors at Scripp Mercy in San Diego are fantastic. The office staff and medical personnel are also fantastic, caring and understanding. I have absolutely nothing negative about my experience with the entire staff at Scripps, they were all amazing, and for a first time surgery this was vital to my mental health and recovery. The pre-op as well as post-op information and care is very precise, appointments one month out, then two then six, etc. Dr. Zorn and Kaiser both went over in great detail the pro's and con's of the surgery, Kaiser even requires a six month course in order to prepare for the surgery. I don't think I could have done as well if I hadn't taken the classes. I would rate Dr. Zorn, staff, Scripps Mercy and Kaiser an absolute 10 for surgical competence and bedside manner as well as compassion and knowledge. This is not to say everything was all roses, I did experience nausea and vomiting for a couple days after surgery (everyone at Scripps was great about this and taking care of me) and I did have some pain and I still experience days of extreme sadness, which I have no explanation for. Most of all and most important, I have no regrets and would do it all over again. I only wish I could have been in the right place about 10 years ago so I could have more time as a \"thin\" and very healthy woman. :-)
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Zorn and the excellent job he preformed. I was so frightened about going through with the surgery the first time, I backed out the morning of the surgery. He only had supportive things to say to me. One year later I had him perform the surgery with outstanding success.
I met my surgeon last month and I am glad to say Dr. Zorn is really kind. He made me feel very comfortable. I have only met with him one time. His office staff are very efficient and kind as well. The made sure that all my paperwork was competed and submitted in a timely manner. rnrnBoth Dr. Zorn's beside manner and surgical competence are excellent.
'My first impression of Dr. Zorn was one of relief. I was relieved to finally be meeting the Doctor who will be changing my life.rnThe office staff is very friendly but a little slow. They are very busy and I understand the difficulty with dealing with several patients. rnI didn't like waiting for the Doctor for over an hour. rnI would strongly recommend Dr. Zorn and Pacific Bariatrics. My family and I are very comfertable with them and their skill level. TrnThere is a great structured aftercare program that I am excited to begin. rnDr. Zorn explained the potential complecations of surgery and told me their rates of infections
Dr. Zorn made a great first impression and over time my impression is the same. Dr. Zorn talks to you like he really cares. He doesn't sugar coat things but at the same time doesn't scare you off. His staff is just as wonderful. They are caring and compassionate. There is nothing about Dr. Zorn that I don't like. One of the greatest things about Dr. Zorn and his surgeon group is that they have an excellent after care program. They tell you extactly what to eat and drink. They keep you really well informed, there are no surprises. Overall I rate Dr. Zorn as excellent. I couldn't ask for anything more from him.
