Dr. Joy T. Aden, MD 502 Madison Oak Drive, San Antonio, TX 78258

"Dr. Aden is very warm, caring and knowledgeable! I highly recommend her to anyone! I put myself completely in her hands and I’m glad I did. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Dr. Aden is a Godsend and I know she had my and my baby’s best interest at heart! Thank you for everything Dr.Aden, God bless you!"

"Love Her. She is very Genuine and Caring."

"I have been seeing Dr. Aden for a few years. She is kind, patient and overall EXCELLENT!! She is very knowledgeable and explains everything efficiently and in detail. I've only had positive experiences thus far."

"I have seen Dr.Aden for just over 10 years now and I absolutely love her. She is thorough and takes the time to talk me through different options other than just medicines and “quick fixes”. She encourages safe, natural practices before others and she is a great doctor. I have never had an issue with the office staff or her nurses. I have also seen another doctor within the same practice but I prefer her. She’s great!"

"I saw Dr. Aden through most of my last pregnancy; from my discussions with her, however, this review can apply to the whole practice. As I began my final trimester, I requested that she follow evidenced-based medical practice by monitoring me intermittently during labor if the birth was progressing normally. She suggested that this would cause danger to the baby (statistically, there are better outcomes with intermittent monitoring, but she didn't seem familiar with research on the subject -- although my husband, who is a physician, was able to find it in medical archives very readily), and said, "There's nothing worse than handing a mother a dead baby." When I pressed the issue, she said, "Since I'm a doctor, I'm going to use medical solutions to problems [although a normal birth is not a problem per se -- my interjection], and I'll do whatever I think is best." Clearly, my needs were less important than her plan -- which would have likely included much more medical intervention than would be necessary in a healthy, normal birth. I chose to switch providers to the Lone Star Nurse Midwives, who gave me compassionate care before, during, and after birth, and I gave birth to my daughter several months later in a safe, supportive environment. Northeast OB/Gyn will work just fine for you if you prefer to put yourself entirely in the hands of your doctor, who can do no wrong, but if you prefer to be a partner in your medical care, you will want to look elsewhere."
