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

Dr. Zorn is a wonderful person. I feel he knows what he is doing and is very informative.The staff is awesome they go way beyond the call of duty.

I was very satified with Dr Zorn he was courtiouis and answered my questions when i went for first post op visit he still was an ok doctor he was on top of thing by reminding me to take care of my self and reminded of the the don't and do

I met Dr. Zorn on 8-04-05 at my pre-op consultations. He was very warm, kind, and easy to talk to. I feel confident that he is a skilled surgeon, and am very glad I chose him as the person to do my surgery. After my visit with him, he was recommended by two other surgeons from another Bariatric group here locally. I was especially impressed with how cautious he seems to be, which I believe can be a good trait in a surgeon. He presented all the risks of the surgery to me in a logical way, but with an overtone of reassurance that makes you feel like although the worst could happen, you are in GOOD hands with him. He stressed that I had to do my part as well and prepare my body for surgery, as well as follow the program after surgery. I will reserve my final rating until after my surgery, but right now, I rate him as a 9 out of 10. I think you should be able to have both surgical competence (he is the chief surgeon at Mercy) AND a patient-friendly bedside manner, and he seems to have both.
**Post-op--I still feel good about Dr. Zorn. The worst DID happen, and he was there for me each and every day, and continued to follow-up with me on a very frequent basis. I recommend him to friends all the time. He's really great!

Dr. Zorn is the absolute best! My surgery did not go as planned... but he was there every single day, sometimes twice a day, checking on me. He is like your favorite uncle. His easy manner is so refreshing. He calls me "the Vixter" --I don't know why. lol But he obviously knows what he's doing and what he's talking about. My husband really appreciated how he handled everything with my surgery. It wasn't easy, but Dr. Zorn made things much easier, and helped us relax about what was going on. I completely trust his judgement and ability!! But remember, these are just my opinions based on my own, personal experiences with Dr. Zorn.

Dr. Zorn is a very patient and kind man. He really took the time to explain the procedure and answer questions. He seemed genuinely sympathetic that my surgery was delayed due to the county-wide blood shortage.

Dr. Zorn entered our (me and hubby, who is the patient) lifes and saved the day. See profile for details. Our first impression, was a man who seemed approachable, honest, direct, and seemed to really understand the difficulty involved with losing weight for a very obese, high risk person. His office staff, specifically, Mylah is wonderful and patient. Cannot say enough positive about her. I would recommend patients ask questions, no matter how silly they may seem. He will explain things to you and not simply give you the bottom line answer. Which I really appreciate...we like the info, it made us both feel more comfortable and confident in his ability. Dr. Zorn, strongly emphasized aftercare, and was a bit conservative in his aftercare suggestions, which is fantastic. He cares. He is simply great and we both highly recommend him. He is sensitive and understanding, great bedside manner. If you have any questions please email me. I can't really say anything negative about him...maybe later ;-)

Dr Zorn is an excellent surgeon, has a great "bedside" manner, a great sense of humor, and is a very caring person. I ighly recommend him. His office staff is efficient and friendly.
The Pacific Bariatric Medical Surgical Group in San Diego, have a great and comprehensive program. And I am very grateful.

I cannot say enough good about Dr Zorn. From my first consult he was always willing to answer all of my questions and was very honest. He said this would be a hard road but worth the effort. So far he has been correct.
He stressed to me how important it is to follow the protocal and if I didn't I could have life threatening problems. In the beginning his straight forward approach scared me a bit but it was what I needed to make the right decision.
I would rate him super overall...he is a good surgeon ,competent and honest..no sugar coating just the truth.

I first met Dr. Zorn at the lecture in Riverside, CA, on March 17, 2005. Being that I know a few people who had the same Dr. I had a bit of information about him already. I thought that he was informative. He took the time to answer ALL questions from the people at the lecture. He was very patient and not rushed. I met Dr. Zorn again in San Diego, on March 29, 2005, at my surgeon consultation. Again, I just really like that he is very informative, and patient. I've learned that although they follow a certain set of rules, some of the rules, Dr. Zorn is willing to adjust. I think that future patients should know that they can ask him whatever they want to know, and he will give you his HONEST oppinion, just be prepared to hear it. At the lecture, you will recieve a Protocol of things to do with the surgery. At the surgeon's consultatiion, you will also recieve a patient booklet, with information. During the consultaion, Dr. Zorn, explained how I'd be feeling after the surgery, and what I should be doing when I got home. Although I'm well aware of the risks of the surgery, Dr. Zorn, explained the risks as well. I think everyone at Dr. Zorn's office were wonderful. Everyone made me smile and even the patients in the waiting room were ALL nice. I think that the warm and friendly atmosphere carried through the entire office. If I had to rate Dr. Zorn and his staff, on a scale of 1-10, the would get an 11, hands down!!!!!!!

My first impression Dr Zorn. He know what he doing!
