I really liked Dr. Irgau, so did my husband. He answered all our questions and put me very at ease. I also like the fact he was upfront about any potential complications and explained everything. He was willing to listen to my concerns and address them, not once did I feel rushed.
On Nov 14,03, I met with Dr. Wynn, I brought my husband with me. He didn't have much to say until we got in the car, but to know my husband, that was a good thing. I was very impressed with Dr. Wynn, she explains everything clearly answers questions, The staff was also very nice and helpful, everytime I call I am always treated nicely.
I have only met with Dr. Irgau once, but I thought he was very personable and down-to-earth. He didn't try to talk down to you or use all technical terms when explaining the procedure. He was also very receptive to all of my questions (even though I had a 2-page list!) and answered each one of them directly without sugar coating or beating around the bush about the answers. I really appreciated that. The front desk staff at the office has been nothing but helpful and courteous from the very first time I called there. I still have 2 more visits with specialists and then I'll meet back with Dr. Wynn (his partner) for a pre-surgical consult. As long as there are no denials or complications with my insurance company, it looks like I'm on the way to a healthier (not to mention MUCH SMALLER!!!!!) me! I'll keep updates here as often as I possibly can.
********** 6/1 - Met with Dr. Irgau's partner, Dr. Wynn, on Fri. and I can't say enough about how confident I feel with entrusting my care to them. They are both very straightforward with their information and 'plan of attack' and seem to both be on the same page. I took my same list of questions/concerns, as well as a few that I've added since, and she not only gave the same answers with the same level of assuredness, but did not hesitate or stall. She seemed very knowledgeable and I was equally impressed with her as I was with Dr. Irgau. I can't wait to see what wonders they will do for me on June 10th!
*********** 6/2 - Scheduler sent info to BC/BS for approval. Keep your fingers crossed.
*********** 6/3 - Scheduler didn't send cardio info. Faxed it myself. Cross your toes now!!!!
*********** 6/4 - I am approved!!!!!!
Dr. Irgau and his partner, Dr. Wynn are wonderful. I would highly recommend them for anyone in the Delaware area. They both seem to be very concerned for their patients and are very easy to talk to. Some doctors make you feel rushed when you have your initial consult, but they take the time to answer any questions you or your family might have. They recommend follow-ups with a nutritionist one month post-op, and a nurse practitioner two months post-op. They also provide you with a schedule for support group meetings. One month after surgery, I developed kidney stones. I called Dr. Wynn because I had never had them before and I didn't know what was going on. She saw me within an hour of my call. Again, I would highly recommend them.
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.
My first impresion of Dr. Wynn was that she was knowledgable and friendly. My impression has not changed. Her staff is very helpful. I can't think of anything that I don't like about Dr. Wynn or her staff. Future patients need to follow her instructions very carefully. She does stress the need for thorough preparation for the new life style after surgery. She has structured instructions for activities and diet. She was honest and frank about the risks of surgery. I would rate Dr. Wynn, her associate, Dr. Irgou and the staff as excellent health care professionals. Since I am a health care professional myself, I expect both competence and good interpersonal skills from physician.
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.
