Dr. Paya was very clear in his explanation of what to expect. When my insurer declined coverage, Dr. Paya fought for me and secured coverage. The procedure was smooth and all that I expected her delivered.
I would recommend Dr. Paya to anybody considering this surgery.

I just want to say DO IT! If you are looking into weight loss surgery Dr Paya and his staff is the team you want guiding you. I have had such a hard time losing weight, and actually making a life changing decision to undergo surgery. I am now post sleeve gastrectomy and down 90 pounds and I couldn’t be happier. I feel more energized, agile and some of my health issues have resolved. The staff is amazing, they have been very supportive throughout the process, they are very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. DR.PAYA is by far the most amazing doctor he makes you feel comfortable he’s humble, informative and his bed side manner is comforting. The dynamic in the office looks genuine, words can never express him helping me with my weight loss journey I will forever appreciate your skills and the care provided.
