Dr A. Lopez or Dr Joya?

Hi all,

I am still in the research phase of my WLS journey and have narrowed it down to two doctors, Dr Alejandro Lopez or Dr Joya in Peurto Vallarta.

Can anyone comment on the care they received with either doctor? I am on the fence . . . Dr Lopez's initial contact with the care worker was very positive and it seemed like they cared more about my health (with the questionnaires etc) than initializing payment. Dr Joya's inital contact was more about payment info than about my health but he offers the complication insurance for $500.00.

I would also like to know what you thought of the hospital facilites for both surgeons? Dr Joya - Amerimed OR Dr Lopez - Cornerstone Hospital.

Please help with any comments you may have . . good or bad :)

A woman named cdalton just posted her son had a great experience in Mexico. She didn't mention the doc but maybe you could find her or the post and ask. Good Luck!
