Surgeon Testimonial

George G. Zorn M.D.
I've met Dr. Zorn of pacific Bariatric once for the pre-op visit. I found him to be pleasant and attentive. He asked me which surgery I wanted and agreed with my choice. We chatted about pre and post care. I had some questions about leave from work and he covered those for me. I am condident in him and his abilities.

However, the office itself is a zoo. They overbook by HOURS!!!! When I was there for a 2pm appt, I waited until 4:30! There were several patients waiting for their post surgical appointments and they told me that everytime they had come to the office it was the same story.

Upon leaving I was given paperwork instructing that we would hear from the office withing 3 weeks with the surgery date. After three weeks, then two and half weeks of phone calls, I finally received a surgery date.

Either the office staff is not qualified or they are taking on more patients than they can handle. However, everyone I spoke with was very nice, and that is saying something considering how many people must call each day looking for surgery dates.

Day After Thanksgiving - Pre Surgery
posted on 11/27/09 2:06 pm
Thanksgiving.  What am I thankful for? My family, my friends, my furry babies. My ability to recognize that my body needs to change.  That I need to change it.  Yesterday as I was eating dinner it crossed my mind that this was my last thanksgiving where i would be able to stuff myself.  I wasn't sad, so to say, but there is a loss. A loss of the comfort that bad habits bring me. On the other hand, i can't wait until May when i get my surgery.  I am ready.  My back hurts all the time.  I am tired of taking pain medication.  When i sit on the floor it's hard to get up.  My clothes don't fit.  doesn't sound like comfort to me.  When i see these words in front of me, it's startling.  Sometimes the words staring at me are the best thing to see, to wake me up!
