Armando Joya
"Dr. Joya and his entire staff was wonderful. I didn't spend much time with Dr. Joya himself, just a few minutes right before surgery, but he was very nice. Dr. Olivares, another Doc on his staff, spent the entire pre-op waiting time with me explaining anything I needed to know. He was patient and kind and a wonderful man. All of the nurses were kind and caring. Nathalie, Dr. Joya's assistant spent a lot of time with us and she is wonderful as well. She went over all of the risks, aftercare, took me from the hospital to the hotel and was available by cell phone at any time. Gerald, who set up the whole trip, was also great. I emailed him a gazillion times and he answered very promptly. The nurses were great. Most of them spoke enough English to be understood, but my limited Spanish helped as well. The Krystal Hotel was nice. The rooms were nice and clean. You can see that the resort was old, though. My husband didn't care much for the food there, but he doesn't like spicy foods. I would most likely stay somewhere else if I visit PV again. The aftercare was spelled out, but somewhat limited. For instance, it explained one needs to take calcium supplements, but not how many milligrams per day. But there are many references to following up with your pcp or dietician. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Joya and his team to anyone. "
