Dr. Irwin is a CLOWN. I'm going to copy and paste the earlier review I posted about my experience with him at The Woman's Hospital of Texas.
This review is extremely overdue, but its time has finally come. I was recently retelling the story of how my scheduled tubal ligation at this hospital was cancelled against my wishes. I had mentioned that the Chief of Surgery, Dr. Irwin, had many bad reviews (particularly on healthgrades.com.) When I checked that page again, it appeared that many of the reviews had been erased. On to the story....
In 2015, I was 22 years old and my doctor had approved me for a tubal ligation. I have many medical conditions that make pregnancy unsuitable for me, including a rare heart condition, ADHD, pervasive family history of cancer, and a high genetic risk of schizophrenia. Plus I just do not want the hassle of raising kids, ever. I have five younger siblings and I have seen it all and it does not interest me, period. I showed up at The Woman's Hospital of Texas on 4/20/15 and was prepped for surgery. They had the IV in my arm and I was waiting on the anesthesia so I could be wheeled to the OR. After about 30 minutes had passed, I was informed that the staff had thrown a bitch fit because of my age and I would have to obtain permission from a psychologist before I could reschedule my surgery. I was livid and spoke to Dr. Irwin on the phone, where he compared my desire to be sterilized to the rash actions of the Boston bomber. After going home and getting a letter from a licensed counselor I was able to reschedule the tubal as I'd been promised, but I had surgery at Fannin Surgicare and not at the Woman's Hospital. I am now approaching the 3-year anniversary of my procedure with no regrets at all, but I am still angry about the disgusting anti-choice attitude I encountered at the hands of Dr. Irwin and The Woman's Hospital of Texas. All I can say is AVOID this place at all costs. If you trust them to help you, they might just send you home. And your ability to trust will forever be broken. read more
