Verified Patient Reviews for Teresa Irwin, MD, FACOG, FPMRS
The receptionist greeted me before I could get to her desk and welcomed me by calling me by name. The nurse took me back to the exam room and was very friendly. She asked if I had any issues and if I was there for the 3-month checkup. She took my blood pressure in both arms. Dr. Irwin had a student she was teaching which I absolutely love. Dr. Irwin takes the time to explain to me and answers my questions while she instructs her student. She promotes her profession by taking on students and I appreciate Dr. Irwin so much. She is a true blessing to her patients! I appreciate Dr. Irwin for her expertise and willingness to help me with my issue. She is very professional, knowledgeable, kind and understanding. I do not have the manual dexterity to take care of my health issue and she is always willing to help me.
The whole of their operation runs like a well oiled machine! They are prompt with every appointment I've had. Explain every detail so that I understand what is happening there and what happens next. I have put my trust in my doctors ability to do the job she's good at. Even though I am very anxious about my upcoming surgery I believe I am in very capable hands.
Dr. Irwin is the best. You can not get any provider like her. She is caring and thorough.
Dr. Irwin has been my doctor for almost 20 years. Her knowledge and professional health care has always been exceptional.
