Dr. Zare preformed the gastric sleeve surgery on me in Aug, 2019. The surgery was a great success with no complications.

~ JV, One year after Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy ~

I just passed my 1-year anniversary of my surgery date! I can’t believe how fast the time went. So many things have changed over this last year. When I was looking at pictures to do a side-by-side comparison, I noticed how happy I look now. I think the truth is more that I was so unhappy before. I...

~ V R, Gastric Sleeve ~

First I would like to say I never usually write a testimonial, but in this case I have to, because I never had a doctor (surgeon) and his staff be so caring from start to finish.

~ J K San Mateo, Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery ~

We used him for laparoscopic hernia surgery. He was very nice and professional, as was his team. They did a fine job and everything went smoothly. We chose him because he had a lot of experience (over 2000 surgeries) and he was recommended in our insurance network. Considering that it was surgery, i...

I was referred to Dr. Zaré as the result of an emergency room visit. He and his staff were extremely responsive, and I had an appointment the same day that I called — and surgery scheduled for two days later.

I really appreciated Dr. Zaré‘s pleasant, quiet, respectful and confid...
