My first impression of Dr. Peters was that he was a little younger then what I expected but I soon came to realize that no matter what his age was, he was a kind man and was very easy to talk to. I felt I could ask him anything and was not embarrased. He was very upfront about the risks of the surgery and pulled no punches when it came to the classes I would need to attend at PMRI for a $100 fee. At first the classes seemed a bit much but after the fact, I'm so thankful that I have all the information I do because of those classes. The pysch eval and endrochronologist visit set me back $30 co-pays each. At my two month mark I have to go back to PMRI but it will only be $30. The day of surgery he greeted me beforehand and set my mind at ease. He or his fellow surgeons at CHRIAS were there to check on me every day at the hospital and was only a phone call away if I needed something. The office staff is average along with the appointment wait times. I liked the fact that I didn't have to pay co-pays for my 2 week, one month (and upcoming three month) visits. However, I didn't like that it wasn't Dr. Peters seeing me for my follow-ups. I saw his physican's assistant, Ed. Now, Ed is nice, but I would have preferred to see my actual doctor. Overall, I have had no major problems or complications from my surgery and I'm very happy with my choice of doctor. I would recommend Dr. Peters to anyone looking for a good doctor.

I adore Dr. Peters! I attended his seminar and knew that night if I was moving forward with the surgery he would be my surgeon. During our meeting Dr. Peters took his time explaining all of the details and answering all of my questions. My surgery date was on 12/28/09 and on New Years Eve I needed to contact him. He returned my call within 3 minutes and stayed on the phone with me until I felt comfortable about my situation. Not only do you get a world class surgeon, but you also get a physician that understands patients urgency after the procedure.

My first impression of the Doc. was...\"Oh my, what a gorgeous smile\". Then I started thinking...\"He's very comfortable with himself as a surgeon...he's informative...warm and assuring\". Then I thought, \"Yeah that's the mug I'd like to see going under and coming out\" I'll update along the way...after my Pre-Op appointment!

My first impression of Dr. Irgau was one of confidence. He made me feel at ease about inquiring about surgery and answered all my questions. I was so thrilled with my consult I couldn't wait to get started with the process. The office staff is wonderful, the team at PMRI is wonderful - only great things to say! =)
