  Dr. Davila performed my recurrent hernia repair with a robotic procedure in December 2019. He was professional, thorough, and was able to perform the procedure a week after my consultation. Most importantly, I had no real pain, just pressure and soreness. I went out to dinner the next night and was back to work three days later. Couldn't be happier with the outcome and would recommend him to anyone. The guy is excellent at his craft.

  I am usually a very active male, (a PE teacher) and, at 50 years old, the biggest mistake of my life was to have this doctor operate on me! For a simple 1.5 cm umbilical hernia, this doctor used a 4”x6” plastic mesh without my consent. I ended up with the worst chronic pain, a terrible quality of life, and basically disabled. When I repeatedly brought my issues to his attention, he blew off all of my concerns and just said to hang in there. My stomach became grossly misshapen and after 4 excruciatingly painful months I had to have a complete mesh removal and an open abdominal wall reconstructive surgery. Now, I have a vertical 7” scar, down my middle, and now I am going to have a long recovery ahead of me, as 2 solid years of 6x/week exercise has been wiped out by this terrible man - who, claims he’s never heard of a mesh product giving anyone any problems. A quick google search of a bard ventralight st mesh, brings up thousands and thousands of problems people have with them, as the plastic used is believed to be biologically incompatible with human tissue - and the incompatibility has been my experience. Again, the worst decision of my life to date, is to have Dr. Mark Toyama operate on me - please avoid this man at all costs. (March 9, 2019)
