Christiana Institute of Advanced Surgery Bariatric Center
Dr Peters was very nice. I took my husband with me because he is my support but also I wanted him to understand what is going to be happening with my body and every question my husband asked Dr Peters answered. He was very informative and friendly. I did see another surgan in the past and Im glad I was lead to Dr Peters I feel much better with him as a surgan. Ive only met with Dr Peters once and delt with his staff a few times..so far so good. I do very much like the before care program he has, be worned its costly but well worth it.
Very nice, seems to really want to help people. He explained everything in a way that I could understand and answered all of my questions. All of the girls I met there were very helpful and understanding and Misty is a doll. The only problem I had was that I had to wait in the office for about an hour and a half because he was running so far behind on his appointments that day. But I waited! I wasn't going to let it get away from me. I took me several years just to get to the point to call and make the appointment in the first place.
I recently saw Dr. Irgau for my 18 month follos up visit. I was concerned because I have been putting on weight. He told me to see a dietician and to get back exercising. I told him that I was seeing a psychologist to deal with my overeating. I indicated the possibility that Medicare may refuse payment for said doctor and asked if he'd be willing to write a letter to Medicare if necessary. Dr. Irgau said he would be willing to do that. He wants to see me back in a month and I am confident that I will be able to get back on track. I was very impressed with Dr. Irgau's handling of this matter.
He was patient, explained everything thoroughly and took the time I needed to answer my questions.
His extensive classes and testing was annoying at first but when it was time for my surgery I was totaly prepeared in every way.
As a medical professional I can honestly say that I would recommend Dr. Irgau and his staff to everyone!
I enjoy the support meetings and enjoy the different topics that are covered at PMRI.
I did a lot of research prior to the first meeting and was absolutely positive he is the right physician for me.
Dr. Isaias Irgau personifies friendliness from the moment you meet him. You can tell he's an honest man by just looking into his smiling eyes. I felt completely at ease the moment he shook my hand, although it was the scariest thing I'd ever contemplated going through. He answered all of my questions and I never felt pushed at all. He made sure I understood the decision was mine entirely and he explained the risks of the surgery honestly with me. The team at Chrias, Drs. Irgau, Wynn and Peters and their entire staff are professional and courteous. I'll never forget what Dr. Irgau told me when he visited me in the hospital as I was waiting to be discharged. He shook my hand and told me, "If you need anything ... I don't care if you lost your watch and you need to know what time it is ... call us." That says it all in a sentence about the type of care I've received and will continue to receive. I would recommend this team of doctors to anyone fighting and losing the weightloss battle.
Dr Peters is a newer surgeon to the practice; however, I trust him completely. Through discussion of my current health, we determined that I should undergo a colonoscopy. The colonoscopy (performed by Peters) saved my life. At 29 years old, I had a polyp that would have developed into cancer within 1 year.
So far, Dr. Peters has had a great beside manner and seems to be dedicated to the care of his patients.
From the very first visit, I knew that I had chosen the right group. Everyone, from the office staff to Dr. Irgau himself was wonderful. While I think that the first visit is both exciting and frightening for most of us, I was treated with kindness and respect. Everyone that I have met through this group (especially those on the "other side") has been so helpful. The required classes through PMRI really prepare you for life after surgery with the support of a dietitian and psychologist. It's also great knowing that they will all be there to support me in the future.
My date for surgery is contingent on lots of things, but my insurance company doesn't cover the procedure for anyone after 3/31, so we are trying. My first impression about Dr. Peters was that he was calm and very kind and caring. Also, living in Delaware and being from Oklahoma, I was glad to see that Baylor diploma on his wall (Texas, not Oklahoma, but close enough). :) The office staff has been AMAZING. I think Misty must be the most patient, kind angel of a person I have ever dealt with and is always very kind and calm regarding my plethera of questions. Dr. Peters talked about the risks and the changes involved. He is involved with PMRI for the before and after care. I think he is great so far and I am excited (and nervous).
