Armando Joya Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

This was the best experience ever. The staff was attentive, the facilities were clean and up-to-date. I couldn't have ever asked for a better doctor. Has anyone ever rang a nurse call light and have nurses run down the hall to check on you? I have. Dr. Joya rocks!

My first impression of Dr. Joya was confidence, he reassured me everything was going to be fine. He was friendly and had a warm smile that reached his eyes and reassured me tremendously. I didn't meet him until just before my surgery. I was a bit stuck at the moment and I couldn't think of a single question. But everyone had been so great that I was completely at ease. Dr. Joya visited me everyday and my recovery was good. He was always pleasant and was attentive. His staff I would consider Nathalie. She is as stated before. Out of the world. She was incredible. She couldn't have taken better care of me. There was a mess up at the airport and she was on the phone in a second taking care that it doesn't happen again. I was impressed with her throughout my stay. I called her several times while in the hotel. She always responded in minutes if not seconds of my call. I can tell you, I have never received such immediate response from a medical office here in the states EVER! rnIF you are researching and have any doubts or are nervous about going to Dr. Joya in Mexico for a medical procedure please, let me tell you DON'T BE. I received excellent care throughout and would not hesitate to go to again.

This man is a great Doctor. I would do it all over again in a heart beat.rnCost $12,500.00 for 8 days in MexicornYou are at the hospital for 4 days and then one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed ( Krystal Resort ) for 4 more days and a Doctor comes everyday to the Krystal Resort to check on you.rnEveryone is friendly and shows great concern for you. Doctors, Hospital and the Staff.rnYou can take one person with you that can stay at the hospital as well as the Krystal for no extra charge. Just pay their air fare.rnYou get all costs and air fare for the $12,500.00. rnDr. Joya makes sure your stay is as great as it can be. Like a surgery with a vacation afterwards.rnrnOnly a few Nurses understand English but do their best. I didn't know Spanish so I guess we were even on that part.

I had a very good first impression of Dr. Joya and his staff. The hospital staff were also wonderful. Over time, I became very trusting of them and comfortable in the hospital.rnrnJust know that you're in good hands. I really have nothing negitive to say about my experience.rnrnSince it was in Mexico, it was up to me to get the aftercare. Though Dr. Joya is available for questions any time.

Having known Dr. Joya for many years, I had no doubts as to his capability. I have been treated like a QUEEN not only by Dr. Joya but his team as well with frequent phone calls, check ins - I absolutely could not ask for a better physician!

I arrived in PV and had my lap-RNY on April 20, 2007. This well organized surgery package is so wonderful. From the moment I landed in Mexico to the day I returned home, I knew that I was in very good hands. Dr. Joya represents the right combination of surgical expertise and good bedside manner. In fact, his entire team of staff, physicians, and nurses were simply terrific. I highly recommend this surgery package to anyone who must self pay, or to anyone who is tired of fighting their insurance companies. The four days at the hospital went by quickly, and the nursing staff always took care of my requests (everything from more pain medicine to more pillows). The NH Krystal is beautiful and a great place to walk as a new post-op. I am planning to return to PV in December to enjoy PV in my new body. Saludos!

had my sleeve with Dr Joya in January of this year, I am 2 months out and have lost 52 lbs! Let me just tell you that I am a not the person that goes out and takes chances, however I had heard so SO SO many wonderful testimonials about Dr. Joya and his staff, that this woman made up her mind after much research, and soul searching and went for it! I arrived in Mexico, was met at the airport, brought to the hospital, met Nathalie, she was a Godsend, such a cool chick, made me feel so welcomed and loved, held my hand thru the weepy tears and assured me I would be ok! I met Dr Joya and Dr Espinoza who calmed my fears in an instant, you knew that you were in great hands, I trusted them, you just know when you are in the presence of competence. They were the most kind, hand on your shoulder, look in your eyes when they spoke to you, Dr's that I was blessed to have. I never had any surgery before in my life so I was scared, I went alone to Mexico and I can tell you that I would do it again in a heartbeat!! I went to a beautiful resort after I spent 2 nights in the hospital and recovered on the beach, it was breathtaking! All that is included in the Package (s) that they offer with Dr Joya. Nathalie was wonderful, Dr Joya was easy on the eyes and a warm caring person, as was Dr Espinoza who came to the resort to check on me and make sure all was ok! Dr Joya Thank you, Thank you so much for helping me and caring for me, I cant thank you enough. Thank you for your wonderful staff Nathalie, Gerald who arranged my whole trip, the wonderful nurses, and Dr Espinoza for following up with me at the resort. I will never forget you all and will keep you in my prayers always. rn

Dr Joya was very kind and answered any question I asked...

It was a great experience. I am a nurse here in Houston @ one of the best hospitals in the country, but I will be the first to admit that the care I received in PV was top notch. Dr. Joya was very professional & answered every question (and there were many) with great patients. I never felt rushed. I was sooo scared when I first arrived @ the hospital because for one thing I was alone & they were expecting a hurricane that day. The moment I meet the nurses I knew I was in good hands. They were so loving & compassionate. It was as if I had 4 private nurses assigned to me at all times. I can go on & on about how God put the right people there for me. BEST thing I ever done for ME!!

As soon as I meet Dr Joya, I was immeidately at ease. He told me everything looked fine with blood work and everything was going to be fine. In the days after surgery, Dr Joya came to see me every day. He expressed geniune concern of my well being. I couldnt have asked for a more professional, compentant surgeon. i have read comments that others thought he was lacking in bedside manner, but I had no issues with this.
