Armando Joya Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

MY WHOLE EXPERIENCE AT CORNERSTONE HOSPITAL WAS A PLEASANT POSITIVE ONE. THE STAFF WHERE RIGHT THERE ON HAND AND THE DOCTORS CHECKED ON ME REGULARLY. THEY WHERE ALL EASY TO TALK TO AND EXPLAINED ANYTHING THAT WAS ASKED.

previous Doctor was Dr Davenport in midland texas......very quickly i changed my minda since i was not insurance approved they dropped me like a bad habit...not even a follow up call or to tell me nothing...i had to find out by calling insurance every day and havent heard anything back from them...soooo now am going to Dr Joya in mexico i have researched him and talk to people that have done the procedure with him and he exceeds my expectations...well keepyou updated...

Liked him immediately, and that didn't change. The staff was very efficient. Was in the hospital for four days, so the care was excellent.

He is friendly and confident and gives off a real positive feeling. I was more pleased as each day passed. His team is wonderful. Friendly, helpful, supportive and knowledgeable. Nothing. Just that he's awesome. I trust him with my life. If we have any questions we have Their cell #'s evan Dr. Joya's . NO aftercare program YET. Yes all risks and concerns were covered. I'd rate him i guess 10 I tried to think of a minus and couldn't. (honest). I would say surgical competence is most important but DR. Joya has a wonederful bedside manner Too.rnrnThis has been an excellent experience for me.

I felt that Dr. Joya was very nice. He had a nice, warm smile and vibe about him. He is very quiet but seems very competent. I didn't have as much interaction with him as I would have liked, being that he was my surgeon. rnrnHis staff were all really nice. They all spoke English well. Some of the hospital staff didn't speak much English, so that was a bit difficult. rnrnHe spoke to me for a little while before my surgery..explaining the surgery, risks, etc. He never spoke of aftercare or anything else really. He left that for his assistant to tell me about. rnrnI did have a complication - an accidental lacerated liver due to its size. It was fixed properly, I think. However, I don't feel I received enough care afterward because of this. I was really scared but none of the doctors talked to me about it afterward. They only told my husband what had happened..but after that, nothing was ever said again - until I got an additional bill for all the extra care.rnrnNow that I've had time to reflect, I am glad that I went to Dr. Joya. I have my Sleeve and recovering well. rnrnThank you, Dr. Joya....and your staff. You have changed my life!rnrnrn

I chose Dr Joya and I am glad I did. He was very nice and willing to answer any questions. All of the staff involved with my care were great.

From the first moment I met Natalie, his assistant, until the last moment before I left for the airport to go home, I felt very safe and in good hands. He explained everything to me, he made sure I understood and didn't have any questions, and he cared about ME!! This was a great decision on my part, and he is a wonderful surgeon - I will recommend him to EVERYONE!!

I have felt confident with Dr. Joya as my surgeon from day 1. He has an excellent team of people helping to facilitate the scheduling of surgery and to answer any questions. He also has an excellent staff at the hospital. I love my experience so far, and I'm not even half way done with my stay in Puerto Vallarta. Today is only day 4 of my 10 day trip. Everything has gone better then I ever could have imagined. Thanks Dr. Joya and team!!
