P B, San Jose: Laparoscopic Roux-en-y gastric bypass's Story

I have been in the medical field for the last 25 years. For the last 10 years I have researched the gastric bypass and have seen different surgeons for this procedure, not really feeling comfortable with these different surgeons. I had put off having the surgery. I talked to my primary care doctor, who had referred me to the most wonderful doctor Marc Zaré. During my first appointment, i watched a video and then had a consultation with Dr. Zaré who explained everything in detail for me and took the time to answer all my questions (which there was a lot of), and I never felt rushed like he had was in hurry to finish the appointment as some doctors make you feel.

Well I had my surgery on 09/14/2010. Two days before my surgery which was a Sunday, Dr.Zaré had called me at home to make sure I was ok. Boy, I couldn’t believe that a doctor would take time out of his weekend to make sure everything was ok!!! After the surgery, he had went to talk to my family and explained everything to them (which my family was totally impressed) and answered any questions that they may have had.

During my 2 day hospital stay, Dr. Zaré came in a couple times a day just to make sure everything was ok with me and did I have any questions. I had such a wonderful eperience with Dr. Zaré that I highly recommend him to anyone that is thinking of having this life changing surgery. I can now say that Dr. Marc Zaré is truly my angel and has changed my life in the most wonderful way. His office staff name Ben is also awesome, you can call him with any question that you may have and he never makes you feel like he’s to busy to help you made sure that all my disabilities forms were filled out properly and got my claims processed extra fast.. I cannot express in words all the gratitude that I have for Dr. Zaré for how he has changed my life. He will forever be my angel in my heart for saving my life.
