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

When I first met Dr. Irgau, he tried to talk me out of having the Lap-RNY because of my history of heart disease and having used aspirin and Plavix for so many years. He was afraid of bleeding and ulcers. I told him I was willing to take the increased risk in order to decrease my chances of ever gaining the weight back, which will kill me just as quick, if not quicker. He wanted me to consider the LapBand. Ultimately, I chose the RNY.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr Irgau. He was very understanding and explained everything in great detail. His office staff has worked with me every step of the way for my clearance appt's, only one left.

My first impression of him was ........he's kind,caring and very informative, and overtime that did not change Dr.Irgau is a very,very nice guy he cares and it shows, his staff is kind and attentive and they make a great team in my opinion, he answers questions in ways that you understand he makes direct eye contact which is important,he really emphasizes aftercare and seems to have a well structured aftercare program which I will soon experience, overall I rate him and his staff as excellent, and I'd refer them to anyone in this area considering bariatric surgery.

I think the Chrias staff is wonderful. Dr. Irgau was very easy to talk to, I was really nervous when I first went to the consultation but when I left I knew that GBS was for me. The office staff was really friendly and there were a couple of people that had had the surgery also and looked amazing.

Dr Irgau was great... He has a wonderful bedside manner and answers all of your questions with an straight forward response...I would recommend Dr Irgau to anyone having the weight loss surgery.

He was exellent. He listened and answered all the questions I had. Even when I was a bit confused he helped me understand and explain everything fully. He even drew diagrams of what the different surgeries were so when I chose, I knew I was making the right decision. I would recommend him to anyone considering this lifestyle change.

My first impression of Dr. Irgau was one of a very personable, knowledgable, professional, and friendly doctor. The office staff was really nice, the only thing I would have changed was the lenght of time it took before getting a response to my concerns. Dr. Irgau did emphasize that it was important to follow the liquid diet for 4wks after my surgery. I would say that my overall experience with this office was excellent. I would refer anyone to here because I was treated with love and care.

Dr. Irgau is fantastic. When I first came to see him, he was very upfront and honest. However, you could tell he cared about his patients. His secretary when I first went in was Nicki, and she was great. She has since resigned and now his secretarial staff leaves alot to be desired. But Danielle, the nurse, is sweet as can be. rnrnHe talked to me at length before the surgery and he was at my bedside every morning I was in the hospital. When I had a concern, he took care of it himself. I think Dr. Irgau is the BEST!!!!

My first impression of Dr. Irgau, was that he seemed to be honest and straight foward about everything I wanted to know about the surgery.

'I can't say enough good things about Dr Irgau and his associates. I was having pain in my left side that continued to get worst. I called
