His Patient Testimonials Are Stellar

Dr. Itriago’s dedication to his patients truly shines when you read through his patients’ testimonials. For example:

“I was so fortunate to have had Dr. Itriago as my surgeon. He took the time to explain why the incisional hernia surgery was necessary, exactly what had to be done and what to expect [afterward]. He actually listened and answered all of [my] and my wife’s questions. If he had done my initial colon surgery (which resulted in the incisional hernia), I probably would not have developed the hernia based [on] his technique for performing the operation. It is so important to find the right surgeon with the right expertise and compassion. He made the surgical experience bearable. I would highly recommend him.”

— Louis Chiacchere

“Words cannot adequately express my gratitude for Dr. Itriago and the compassionate care I received from him and his team. He removed my cancer and with his exceptional skill preserved my quality of life when other surgeons believed they wouldn’t be able [to].”

— B. Zoch
