Dr. Peters is in practice with Dr. Wynn and Dr. Irgau. I have only met Dr. Peters and Dr. Irgau (both male),however a friend had her RNY done by Dr. Wynn (female) and loved her. I met with Dr. Peters on June 22nd and my surgery was two days ago, on August 24th. My surgery was at St. Francis Hospital in Wilmington, DE and I was really impressed witht the facility and the staff. At least three of the nurses who took care of me had had gastric bypass and the whole bariatric ward has recently been renovated to include larger beds, chairs, showers, etc. The nurses know their stuff! One of the things I was really impressed about the was the fact the there are always two doctors in on the surgery. So Dr. Wynn assisted Dr. Peters...makes you feel a bit better knowing you have TWO of the best looking after you, doesn't it? The only complaint about the doctor I had was his office...he's NEVER on time. The first time he had an emergency and was three hours late for my appt. and last time he was 1 1/2 hours behind. It's a drag, but if I was on the emergency side, I'd want the best care, too, so I can understand.

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 liked Dr. Peters right away. He really seems to care about how I do.rnrnWhen I was fearful that I wouldn't be able to have the surgery as my A1C (blood sugar level) was a 7.5, he was able to calm my worries and he actually said, \"You will be all right\". Just those few words helped me relax.rnrnBefore surgery when I was nervous again, he was again able to help me with a kind word and a compassionate manner.rnrnWonderful doc, I look forward to working with him in this weight loss journey.rnrnNancy G.

Only met her once so far, at the consultation back in December. She was very nice and informative. I definitely got \"good vibes\" from her, if that makes any sense. From talking to others on here, too, I feel very confidant with her as my surgeon.

'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

'I was very impressed with Dr. Wynn. She took a lot of time to explain everything to me. Her staff is also wonderful. She shares a practice called Chrias with 2 other bariatric surgeons who I have also met and worked with. They are just as top-notch as she is! Aftercare is stressed and they do have a structured program in conjunction with the St. Francis Hospital in Wilmington

Dr. Irgau is a very personable surgeon and would highly recommend him. Dr. Irgau has a great bedside manner.
