Christiana Institute of Advanced Surgery (CHRIAS) Hospital

Just wanted to say that Dr. Peters is a fine surgeon. He presented the facts about my surgery & what to expect in a clear way & although I could only qualify for the lapband surgery due to my Type I diabetes & since I had less than 100 lbs. to lose, he openly was available to discuss both types & willingly answered my many questions afterwards as well. Between Dr. Peters, his staff & the nurses at Christiana Hospital, I recouperated from the surgery in no time at all! Usually for hospital stays, I am in, on average, a week longer than anyone else due to my diabetes. This time, I came home the very next day!!

I met with Dr. Wynn today and was very impressed with her upbeat attitude. I am just starting so I don't really know the staff yet but they all seem eager to help.rn

Dr. Wynn is awesome! I met with her in December 2004 but Lap-Band wasn't really done with people of my size and I wasn't ready for gastric bypass. She was very honest without being rude or uncaring. I went back to see her in 2007 after Lap-Band had become more \"popular\" and she was still very informative and caring. I would recommend Chrias to anyone having bariatric surgery in this area.

Doctor Irgau is the best.

updated! rnconsult w/ dr. wynn 2/29/07rni really liked everyone so far. i did feel that my time with dr wynn could have been a bit more in depth but i dont have any bad feelings. she was very nice and very willing to put me through the program. im definetly ready!! i cant wait to continue!rnrnrnrnrnconsult in 02? (hampton va)rnrnmy first impression was a good one i guess. my original surgon was dr. hopson but he was deployed. i dont know anyone whos had dr moscoso for the surgery so im kinda feelin odd about it. i did meet a lady who had him for several surgeries just not wls, and she said he was awesome. he was very nice. his staff was nice, i like his asst. roz. she seems very caring. he strongly emphasizes aftercare and has a very structured plan for it as well. i will be seeing him every 2 weeks for quite some time. which i like. he told me all the risks of the surgery as well as the benefits. i think im going to like him, i just wish i could find someone else whos had him. he only does open and has never lost a paitent. he said hes done @ 150 or so. with no leaks from his paitents personally. the office has done @ 600 with 3 leaks and 1 death from the leak. so i think thats a good thing right? i think bedside manner is a definite must. and surgical competience... well duh. lol as for his overall rating, ill say @ a 7 or 8.(on a scale of 1-10) i havent really spent that much time with him yet. like i said im still a little uneasy because i havent heard from anyone else thats used him.

They were "short staffed" which is what I was told. I had to do everything by myself get my own ice unplug my medication to go to bathroom since no one was answering my belll and when they did they said they would be there and 45 min would pass and still no one. Let me also say this was between11 pm-6 am I didn't sleep at all and I can't imagine why when everyone else was sleeping I could n't get the care I was entiiteld to and paying for! OH yea I also had to tell the med assistant to take my b/p when she came around to do vitals Holy crap I cant believe I had to ask, and I had to go to the desk and let them know how much I pee'd or it would have never made it into the chart! I will never again stay at that place I would sleep in the the streets and get treated better than in there!!

I had my consult on Feb 15th and the office staff was very professional and friendly. I was self-conscious but they made me feel very much at ease. He explained the procedures and complications to me and told me everything that I would have to do. I am looking forward to having Dr. Irgau perform my surgery!

My saviour (sp?) Regardless..I wold trust this man with my life. He is the most gentle and honest doctor anyone could ask for. He actually CARES about his patients and never seems to tire of my constant questions and issues even in the middle of the night when he's on call. I just can't say enough about this fantastic man.

I thought she was informative and quiet. Maybe it was my nerves. Aftercare is very important, I was told I had to do 6 months nutrition classes which at first irritated me, but I can't stress enough how GLAD I am that I took them. I really learned alot.

I was very nervous when I went for my first visit. I had researched the surgery and spoke with my primary doctor in great detail. When I met Dr. Wynn, I was pleasantly surprise! She was very down to earth. She listened to everything I had to say, and she was very upbeat. The office was very professional and very curteous.
