Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Visit
Nothing is worse than a physician that makes you feel unheard, rushed, does not allow you enough time to ask all of your questions, and does not take the time to explain. That was absolutely not my experience with Dr. Guzman. I give him an A plus in all of those categories. He is very personable and makes you feel seen and heard. Great smile and very friendly.

Best foot surgeon around!!
At my 2 week post-op, although I had had numerous mishaps and trips, Dr Guzman was patient and kind he never once reprimanded me just encouraged me to do it a little easier and gave me pointers. He recommended PT teaching me new methods to stay safe.Dr Guzman is an excellent physician and surgeon who deserves accolades and praise for his dedication to serving his patients effectively. Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Guzman is brilliant! 5 Stars!!
Dr. Guzman has operated on my hip and now, less than 6 months later, I fell and broke my knee. He explains everything, he’s very approachable and while I hope I won’t need his expertise again, I would highly recommend him to anyone who does!Warmest regards,Katherine L.
