Shannon Zona, MD

I have been a surgeon since 1993 and have been the director for bariatric surgery at High Point and now in Kernersville and Winston-Salem for more than 20 years. For the last 12 years I have focused entirely on bariatrics procedures in Kernersville. I have maintained Novant Health's bariatric program's Center of Excellence status for the last 20 years. We perform metabolic surgeries to help patients live longer and better by improving many weight-related problems including diabetes and high blood pressure. The nice side effect is our patients also lose a significant amount of weight. \n Our program involves care from nutritionists, counselors, exercise trainers and medical bariatricians. All of our team members are dedicated solely to bariatric/weight management. Surgery, while important, is reserved for patients who cannot achieve their goals without an operation as a tool to success. Operations typically take 30 to 60 minutes laparoscopically and involve an overnight stay at the hospital. \n I'm active in professional associations in my field and am a fellow for the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and the American College of Surgeons (ASC). I still enjoy being in the classroom. I serve as a clinical preceptor for Wake Forest University and a teaching professional for Ethicon, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. \n Outside work, you might find me volunteering at the Humane Society, cycling or hiking. I also love to travel and, most importantly, spend time with my family.

While many doctors' love of science launch their careers, Laura Ramsay, MD, FACOG followed her passion for arts to her career in medicine. She had a career in classical ballet with the Kirov Ballet in Russia and after experiencing sports medicine from a patient's perspective she discovered an opportunity to make a difference in people's lives. She has a passion for all of women's health but is particularly interested in adolescent health, eating disorders, exercise in pregnancy and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Dr. Ramsay is married to her husband David, a gastroenterologist. They enjoy being outside, taking trips to the mountains or the beach with their son and daughter. In her free time she enjoys doing yoga, Pilates and dancing.
