My fist impression of him was that he was very acknowledgeable. rnMy impression of Dr. Irgau hasn't change. His office staff was very pleasant. rnThere wasn't anything that I didn't like about Dr. Irgau. rnThat he is quiet. rnYes he did emphasize aftercare. rnYes he has a structured aftercare program. Yes he addressed the risk of surgery. rnI would give Dr. Irgau a high rating. rnHis surgical competence and bedsdie mannar are both excellant.
Dr Irgau is the greatest. My first meeting with him was wonderful. He was confidant and told me not to worry. He explained the surgery, what to expect afterward and was frindly in every way.rn His staff is friendly and is always helpful when you have a question or concern. The staff is always willing to work around your schedule.rn Dr Irgau is very smart and he has a great bedside manner. You can put your trust in him to change your life for the better.
My first impression on Dr. Irgau was that he was a very nice man. I first met Dr. I when he was working at Christiana Care as a resident. Then when I went to his office in 2005 and even up to this present time, he has always been pleasant.rnI have never had a problem with his office staff and they are always willing to help.rnThe staff has taken care of everything even all of my insurance needs. Dr I is so pleasant and answered every question I had when I went to my post opp visit.Even after I told him why I changed my mind about the lap band surgery, he told me he thought I was an excellent candidate for Gastric bypass.
My first impression was that he had good bed side manner and wanted me to be successful. My impression never really changed, to this day he is awesome. The office staff is great, I see them deal with a great deal of stress based on the number of patients and I applaud them. Any future patients I would only say any surgeon in the office is great and you can't go wrong. My aftercare has been great, I get asked first and for most how am I and is there anything he can do. I went to a seminar first and most of my questions were answered but before surgery he went over everything again. I would rate Dr. Irgau as a 10, he is great and good at what he does. He has great surgical competence and great bedside manner. The little questions get answered as quickly as the big ones. The only negetative thing I could say would be that you have to be willing to wait in the office, wait time could be up to 2 hours, but it gives you a chance to chat with others and is a great support option.
I really dont know what to say. I meet with Dr. Isaias Irgau he took the time to explaine to me my options. I heard that he is one of the best in the state of Delaware. I didnt feel like I was rushed in my 1st interview with him. He explained the risks of surgery and what to expect afterwards. All I know is that I cant wait to get a date.
I and my support person met Dr. Irgau 2/2009. I was nervous about this decision, but ready for a life change. When we met him I immediately felt so comfortable. I just felt that he knew exactly what to do for me. I had some medical concerns in reference to blood, but he assured us what would be the best route for me to take. The staff there and at PMRI have been wonderful, everything went so smoothly with all the pre-testing and classes. The classes really emphasized how to make better food choices and most of all what I would need to do to make this a success, also aftercare has been stressed by every specialist that I saw. I have yet to attend the support groups but that my goal in the coming week to start those. My surgery date is May 6th for the Lap Band Im not really nervous only about the unforseen, but as far as Dr. Iragau competence I am completely at ease. I will come back and update this after surgery...but so far so good.....
My first impression of Dr. Irgau was one of complete confidence and friendliness. He was very knowledgable about everything and made me feel very comfortable about surgery. The office staff is also very friendly but also very busy! Aftercare if very important and I have had to go through a lot to get prepared for surgery. He explained the risks of surgery and made me feel MUCH better about surgery when he mentioned having a filter placed inside the vein that leads to the lungs to prevent pulmonary embolism. I had a blood clot in the past and was terrified of the possibility of developing another one and it traveling to the lungs or heart and causing death, so..yeah..that was a BIG relief to hear! Overall I would rate him an 11, but I will let you all know for sure after surgery lol! Surgical competence is number one, no doubt, I am just a very lucky girl and got a surgeon with awesome bedside manner as well!
