Dr. Colin Joyo, MD

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Colin Joyo, MD, and the entire staff for going above and beyond in providing exceptional care during my treatment. From start to finish, they attended to every detail, ensuring that I felt supported and well taken care of. Their dedication and efforts have left a lasting impact, and I cannot thank them enough.

I owe my life, an extra 26 years so far to Dr Joyo. A man who love his work as well as his patients. A very rare surgeon.

Will be forever grateful for his skilled hands, one year ago today he got me through a quadruple bypass surgery. Thanks Doc

Dr. Joyo performed an aortic valve replacement for my husband. When we first met Dr. Joyo, he came to my husband's room at the hospital to explain the procedure. He could sense that we were visibly upset about hearing the diagnosis. He calmly told us, along with both my sons listening on their cell phones about the procedure. He answered all of our questions. He has a very calming demeanor that made me us feel better. Also when we found out that he was from Hawaii too (I'm from the Big Island), it made us feel even more comfortable that he was going to be doing the surgery. Even on the morning of the surgery, he knew how nervous we were and he reassured us that everything was going to be fine. The one thing that I appreciate most about Dr Joyo was he came to visit my husband every day to not just check up on him but to sit and chat with him. There are not that many doctors (especially surgical) will do that.

The BEST doctor we’ve met! Not only does he take the time to thoroughly go over the procedure with the patient and family but carefully customizes and tailors to the needs of the individual. He never rushes and never makes you feel like your concerns are not important. His concern and care after the surgery is just as apparent as before the surgery.

I can’t tell you how much this man means to me. He saved my life! I am 54 and I never expected needing a 5 bypass emergency surgery. I’m athletic and ate very well. Dr Joyo I met after my angiogram came back completely clogged! Right off the bat he made me feel at ease and I trusted him 100% and still today, I each and every day will thank him through prayers and when I see him at appointments. God has blessed him With a tremendous skill to help people with fixing the toughest heart situations!

Over 16 years ago Dr. Joyo spoke with my husband, who had just been told that he needed immediate heart surgery. Within three days Dr. Joyo gave him a 5-way bypass. My husband is now 85 and in good health. At that time he would not have lived another month. I can't thank Dr. Joyo enough for his caring, dedication and amazing talents.

My mom (Yen) was referred to Dr. Joyo and was treated at Hoag Hospital for lung cancer. Our family is very grateful that he successfully performed my mom surgery. He took his time to answer all her questions as she was very scared after she learned about her lung cancer. He made her feels comfortable and put her at ease before her surgery. He called to check up on her after the surgery. He is very caring and compassionate. We are very lucky to have found the best surgeon. Thank you Dr. Joyo!

After learning about my heart condition (widow-maker), I found myself in Hoag Hospital only three days later, when my cardiologist discovered I needed CABG surgery. Dr. Joyo---fortunately---did my surgery. He even fit me in on the morning of a fully-scheduled day. (I guess he deemed it emergent enough to warrant that). He spoke with me beforehand and put me quite at ease, as I could sense his capability and expertise. I'm so grateful he did my surgery.
