New to OH - I'm at week 19 of Kaiser Options

Good Afternoon to One and All!

I only have 5 more weeks to go before my Options classes are over (yea!!!!) and I would like to hear from anyone who has gone to Pacific or Crown and what your experience has been. As of today I am leaning toward Pacific but I would love to hear how each clinic/doctors treats their patients. Thanks in advance for your help :)

BTW: I will be doing the RNY

Hi Jean, I am a Pac-Bar patient. I had Dr. Zorn. I love my surgeon and the hospital was top notch. I had my RNY at Scripps Mercy in San Diego. I am also in Fontana and went through the classes at Kaiser. January '08 graduate... =)Good luck on your weightloss journey.

Hi jean,
I also had Dr Zorn at Pacific Bariatric last year. Loved my surgeon and just saw him last week for my 6 month post op visit. I did my options classes thru Kaiser Baldwin Park in Covina, Ca. Graduated Jun 08 but had 3 make up classes toward the end, ugghh. It was terrible having to wait to get approved. I actually finished in Aug 08. Didnt have to wait too long. Hospital was great and 7th floor nurses were as sweet as can be. Congrats on your WLS and good luck!

I am  a Kaiser, Fontana, Crown, Dr. Suh alumni.  Wonderful expereinces...
Best wishes
Kim in Fontana

Hi
I went through the Kaiser Options program in Orange County and went with Pacific.  They are a great bunch of doctors and the staff is great too!  Go to my OH and you can read what I had to say about Dr. Z.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone *****plied to my question. I'm sure that both facilities are top notch but I do think I will commit to Pacific.

You all are the best!
