Isaias Irgau, M.D., FACS, FRCS (Ed) Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. Irgaau (Wilmington, DE)first impressed me when I entered his office with the size of his chairs. The chairs are built for large people and you don't have to squeeze in and out of them. Dr. Irgaau took the time to explain the two different procedures to my wife and I, as well as drawing pictures and answering some of our more obvious questions. He treated both of us with respect, answering all of our questions at our level, and never once coming across as though he was pitching the procedure.

Dr. Irgaau and Dr. Wynn both require extensive pre-testing and recommend attending support group sessions prior to the surgery. These were helpful in gaining even additional information into judging how you will deal with the after-effects.

After the surgery, I saw Dr. Irgaau and Dr. Wynn daily and they were always cordial and helpful in answering questions. They were big on getting me up and getting me walking.

I have been thouroughly impressed with this team and their capabilities.

I found Dr. Isaias and Dr. Wynn to be very gentle and personable surgeons, and would recommend them highly.

I was very impressed with DR Irgua. I am so happy there are Doctors around like him who make you feel as if you don't disgust him. I am very confident in him and feel he has a great bed-side manner. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr Irgua was eager to answer my questions, even the ones most doctor's don't want to answer. I feel he was truthful in his descriptions.

I thought Dr. Irgau was wonderful..very soft spoken and to the point..i felt very comfortable asking questions and I could tell that he wasnt just giving me short answers to get rid of me like other doctors ive encountered..now that ive had the surgery he is just as nice and tells it how it is..he has a great team and the aftercare is very structured it leaves no room to wonder..he keeps a close eye on you while your newly postop..i rate the dr very high i would use him again and recommend him to anyone...i believe surgical competence and bedside manner both matter and Dr. Irgau has both

DR IRGAU IS A VERY GENTLE AND CARING DOCTOR.
I ONLY HAD TO CALL HIM ONCE SINCE MY SURGERY. HE WAS VERY PROMPT IN CALLING ME BACK. YOU CAN'T ASK FOR A MORE STRUCTURED AFTERCARE AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.

I first met with Dr. Irgau in August 2002. After my initial consultation, I was given the pre-testing requirements (Cardio, Pulmonary, Nutritionist and Phych). I took me until Jan 2002 to complete all the pre-testing. Within 2 wks I had my surgery date.

Due to complications, I had to have open rny two days after I had lap rny. Dr. Irgau and Dr. Wynn were very accessable to me as well as my family.

I have an open wound two weeks post on in the staple-line. Dr. Irgau and Dr. Wynn, their office staff and nurse have been wonderful. Dr. Irgau even returned a page while in surgery (he had a nurse from the OR relay messages back and forth). I am always able to get follow up apts as well as get prescriptions when needed.

I would highly recommend Dr. Irgau and Dr. Wynn for RNY sugery. They preform the surgery together as a team.

Both have a great calming bedside manner.

I have had all of my appointments to obtain my clearances for surgery. I have met with Dr. Irgau twice now and am very impressed. I did my homework before scheduling any appointments and found Dr. Irgau & Dr. Wynn to be very successful with the surgery. Personally I am very confident and comfortable that they are my surgeons. At my initial consult, Dr. Irgau answered all of mine and my husbands questions. He never rushed us or made us feel like we were just another patient. My surgery date is not scheduled yet, we are hoping for some time in May. I am completely confident that all will go well and that I will no longer be stuck in this body that I can't stand.

I met with Dr. Irgau and can say that he set my mind at ease tremendously. He didn't make me think there was nothing to worry about, but he did address all of my concerns and explained how he was going to do things to try to eliminate as much risk as possible. He took my past medical history into consideration and set me up with a vascular surgeon so that they can eliminate the risk of embolisms. He drew a diagram and showed me what he was actually going to do once inside. He told me what to expect from the surgery and what not to expect. I was very nervous about seeing him, but I can honestly say that he set my mind at ease. His staff was very friendly and very easy to work with. Dr. Irgau came highly recommended by my PCP and I couldn't thank her any more. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give him and his office at least a 10. I know the page says to include any negative feedback if you have it, but right now, I honestly don't have any. I'll let you know if that changes.

Dr Irgau is very professional and develops confidence and trust from the beginning. He was very thorough about the surgery, answered all questions, and offered any assistance in the future. My impression did not change from the 1st visit through surgery. His staff is very polite, understanding and helpful in every way. There is nothing that I did not like about Dr Irgau or his staff. I would recommend anyone to Dr Irgau or his partner Dr Wynn. I haven't heard anything, but positive things about both of them. I also know people that know them on a professional level and again have been told they are highly regarded in their field. Dr Irgau greatly emphasize aftercare and the plan to success. He genuinely wants his patients to reach thier goals. The aftercare program is through PMRI and is very structured. The risks of surgery were made very clear on the first visit. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate him a 10. His surgical competence and bedside manner are superior.

MY FIRST APPONITMENT IS MARCH 18TH AT 11:50. I WILL WRITE THEN.
