"Dr. Cirangle is a young surgeon who I have total confidence in – for a nurse to say this is a good thing! He was easy going and very informative. He really seems to care and is very good with his patients. He is down-to-earth and you can actually tell he loves his job, and that is a big plus for me." —Jill

"My first impression of Dr. Cirangle was excellent. He was very friendly and very up-front about everything having to do with the surgery. He went out of his way to meet with me and my family and talked with us for over 2 hours answering all our questions. His office is the best office I have ever been to. They are extremely friendly and answer any and all questions that you may have. Every time we talked or met, he always asked if I understood everything and if I had any more questions. He is always open to questions. Overall I would rate him excellent. He is wonderful." —Anonymous

"Dr. Cirangle is skilled and compassionate. His staff is extremely helpful and courteous. He strongly emphasizes two years of aftercare. His aftercare program is structured. He was very candid about risks and requires his patients to read, acknowledge, and initial each risk and outcome that could result from the surgery. Dr. Cirangle is a10 out of 10. Dr. Cirangle is not only surgically competent, his bedside manner is outstanding." —Anonymous

"Dr. Paul Cirangle is a very caring person; easy to talk to, eager to provide all the information you need to make a decision. My impressions only got better over time. Dr. Cirangle is a very accomplished laparoscopic surgeon and followed up my surgery with 2 visits at the hospital and a telephone call the day after I returned home. Aftercare is completely laid out in a post-operative manual that everyone receives, tailored to the type of surgery you have had. All the risks of the surgery were spelled out specifically in a separate document and reviewed one by one. I would have to give him an A+ for surgical competence and bedside manner." —Anonymous
