Dr Luis A. Robles - 48333 Puerto Vallarta

I would say Dr Robles is a great professional. He always give you clear and honest opinion on the medical treatment. My family had to experience an emergency situation with my husband and Dr Robles been always pending on follow up with us. Highly recommended.

Upon my husband’s retirement from medicine, we embarked on a long-awaited, relaxing winter in Puerto Vallarta. Two weeks into our trip, I began experiencing severe back pain and within two more weeks, I could not walk. I had some occurrences of back pain in the past, but never anything severe. An X-ray done in the states prior to our trip showed age-related demineralization, raising no red flags for a significant issue. We contacted Pam Thompson at Healthcare Resources, Puerto Vallarta, and she arranged an appointment with Dr. Robles for the following day - a Wednesday. Dr. Robles conducted a thorough interview of my history and symptoms and an examination and arranged for an MRI the following day. The MRI revealed a partial compression of my spinal cord. I saw Dr. Robles the following day (Friday) to discuss the results of the MRI, as well as what was happening and next steps to be taken. After much consideration, my husband and I decided that it would be far too risky to travel back to the US for a procedure, as it would risk compressing my spine further or even severing my spinal cord. In the short time that we had gotten to know Dr. Robles, he made both of us feel comfortable and at ease and extremely confident in his expertise. We made the decision to have Dr. Robles perform the surgery in PVR, and he scheduled it for that Monday. Additionally, lab work and a cardiology visit were done in home over that weekend in preparation for the surgery. The surgery went well, I spent a week in the hospital with daily visits (often twice a day) from Dr. Robles. When it came time to be discharged, Pam Thompson arranged for door-to-door ambulatory transportation and an incredible in-home Physical Therapist who created a program of therapy specifically tailored to my needs and lifestyle. I can vividly remember going into the operating room that day and asking my husband, “Will I ever walk again?”. I am happy to report that I am indeed able to walk … and to enjoy life again. I am forever grateful to Dr. Robles for his kindness, expertise and the expediency that he displayed in his care for me, and for his continued follow up in the months that followed. Puerto Vallarta is truly fortunate to have Dr. Luis Robles -- such a talented, dedicated and compassionate neurosurgeon to care for them.

My husband needed emergency surgery for a head injury while we were visiting Puerto Vallarta Mexico. The whole experience was very scary. We were directed to Med Assist Hospital after visiting a clinic there. We were assigned what they described as the best neurosurgeon in all of Mexico. We were very fortunate to have Dr Robles there to do the surgery. He took very good care of us and put our minds to rest. He spoke very good English which is very hard to find in foreign countries. He was very informative and followed up with his treatment. He saved my husbands life and he has fully recovered with no side affects thanks to Dr Robles expert skills. Everyone at the hospital was very professional and caring. We highly recommend Dr Robles! We can never thank him enough for all he did for us!!

My wife had experienced acute back pain for 5 years after a (successful) surgery to repair a herniated disc. Dr. Robles diagnosed the need for a spinal fusion after carefully assessing the pain and exploring all other options. The spinal fusion was a success and her back is fully stabilized and functional again. Throughout our time with Dr. Robles he was patient, thorough and caring. We were truly "in good hands" at all times.

Because of a fall and hitting my head, I had to have surgery, and I was lucky enough to go to Hospital CMQ, where Dr. Robles operated on me , actually twice, and he being able to speak great english he explained everything to me and showed me the CT Scans and I can’t thank him enough for the the professionalism and great work he and everyone involved did in operating on me . He answered all my questions.

I needed emergency surgery for subdural hematomas while on vacation. Dr Robles expertise, compassion and care got me through this possibly life threatening event.I highly recommend him for medical care and follow up in the Puerto Vallarta area.

Last year Dr Robles performed a brain surgery on my partner that was suffering from hydrocephalus and the surgery was a success. Dr Robles is an outstanding surgeon. I highly recommend him.

I was taken to Hospiten by ambulance after my wife discovered me unconscious sitting in our condo. She told me the paramedics thought I had suffered either a stroke or heart attack. Dr. Robles identified an infection in my brain (brain abscess) and performed emergency surgery. He advised that often a second procedure is necessary to remove any residual infection. The second procedure, done at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Los Angeles, confirmed the need for the initial surgery and validated the high quality of Dr. Robles’s skill. Dr. Robles reviewed with me and my wife, each MRI and CT scan within minutes of the procedure. He explained each in detail and was extremely patient in answering our volume of questions and concerns. When we returned to Los Angeles, after spending 5 months on Vallarta, my local physicians were astounded by the surgery and general medical care I received. My neurologist in LA repeatedly stated that Dr. Robles saved my life. My cousin and son-in-law are both physicians and were on the phone with Dr. Robles. Both were highly complimentary of him. Aside from his skill as a neurosurgeon, he is a personable and genuinely nice guy. In addition, I can’t say enough about Hospiten and the quality of its physicians. Who would have ever thought such high quality medical care would be available in a tourist city deep in Mexico.
