John Zimmerman
"I interviewed 5 plastic surgeons in preparation for my tummy tuck and breast lift/augmentation. Once I found Dr. Zimmerman, I knew he was the one I was going to choose. My procedures are scheduled for Nov. 18, 2003. He has done lots of WLS patients and those that I have talked to that have had him as their doctor rave about him. He is knowledgeable, caring, competent. If you are in the Napa area, I would highly recommend that you make him one of the doctors you speak to when you are researching plastic surgery. "

Kaiser
"The Bariatric Program at Kaiser is a mixed bag. In the preliminary stages, there is a lot of misinformation and sometimes no information as to your status once you have been approved for surgery. Each patient is handled a little differenty and sometimes there can be conflicting information. However, once you have met the surgeon and had the surgery, the care is excellent. People are treated with respect on the ward and the nurses and assistants are extremely helpful and caring. I loved my surgeon and had complete confidence in him after our first meeting. "

Neal Gorrin
"Dr. Gorrin is fabulous. He is helpful, caring, clear and comforting. Of course the office staff is great. I feel so much more confident about my decision to have surgery since meeting the the doc. He told me I was an excellent candidate for surgery and although he is learning the lap procedure, I am going to the open route. He was totally cool with that. I never felt embarrassed or uncomfortable with him. Can't wait to get him in the operating room!"
