Dr. Irwig is everything I could ask for in a physician. I was very nervous when looking for endocrinologists to see regarding gender dysphoria and HRT. Not only are the staff in the office friendly, Dr. Irwig went over my concerns, is highly approachable with questions and is very thorough with his care. Contacting him is easy as well, as he responds quickly over secure message through Medstar as well as over the phone. I couldn't recommend him or Medstar more.

I understand it is a teaching hospital, but why have a new patient repeat the story to the Resident and then the Doctor? Why can't the Doctor just take you in and let the Resident listen? It's a such a simple thing. And maybe Resident can do the typing since he/she is already there?

He was completely unhelpful. He supposedly wrote a study on the condition i have, yet refused to help with finding a doctor to help study the condition. Seemed to not want to help me and was eager to get me out of the office

Dr. Irwig is very inclusive and knowledgeable about transgender medicine. I appreciate that he balances the desires of patients against the long term health implications of cross-hormone therapies. I also appreciate that Dr. Irwig takes time to educate his peers on transgender issues.
