Christiana Institute of Advanced Surgery (CHRIAS) Hospital
Dr. Wynn is wonderful. She saved my life when I developed a strangulated hernia at my lap band site. I had the band put in at Temple hospital in Philadelphia, and 2 months later my bowels herniated through the port site. I went to Christiana Hospital in Delaware with excruciating pain, and by midnight I was in the OR with Dr. Wynn.(She just happen to be on call that night!!) She Removed the strangulated bowel & my lap band to prevent further infection. I was blessed that she was on call. After recovering from that unusual & unfortunate event, I decided to have the sleeve gastrectomy with Dr. Wynn. I trusted her completely. I had the procedure on 10/20/10 & she did a fantastic job. I had no complications & I am feeling great one month post-op. They say everything happens for a reason & I guess the reason for my hernia was so I could meet Dr. Wynn. Her office staff members are very organized, friendly, and helpful. My surgery was approved on the first attempt even though I was out-of-network with the group.

My first impression of Dr. Irgau was positive. Dr. Irgau made me comfortable. He wanted to know my reasons for consideringthe surgery and seemed to be truly listening to my responses. I felt as though he truly understand the dilemna of being overweight. He was informative and answered all of questions honestly and completely. Office staff is also very helpful and organized and make sure that all clearances are being completed in a timely manner. I am extremely pleased with my surgeon, my surgery and my recovery so far. I would highly recommend dr.Irgau and his surgical group (CHRIAS) for anyone considering weight loss surgery. Surgical manner as well as bedside manner are both fantastic!

My first meeting with Dr. Peters went very well. He was very informative, caring, and a great listener. I had started the process with another surgeons clinic, but I never met the surgeon and felt uncomfortable with my decision. Dr. Peters office staff was very pleasant. After my original surgery I have had several complications that have lasted over several months. Dr. peters made a point to come visit EVERY DAY while I was at Christiana for an infection. It seems like he is always on call. I must say he is very responsive to any problems and always takes time to explain everything. He is also very knowledgeable about complications and other health issues that are not necessarily related to the bypass, but that do play a part in the whole person. (For example, my blood pressure can get REALLY low...Dr. Peters took time to look at all of the meds and to discuss what I should make sure not to take and things, more than the cardiologist explained!)

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.
