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.

Dr Guarnaccia always takes his time and listens to your medical needs. Very good at what he does. I will be very disappointed when he retires.

Great doctor.
I have been seeing the doctor for about five or six months now and he is wonderful. He lets you tell him all your issues and goes above and beyond to help you . I have MS and was in a lot of pain and the meds I was on were not working. DR. Guarnaccia didn't think twice about changing my meds to help me with my pain. I am so glad to be seeing him, great doctor.

Best MS doc in Ct
I have seen this doc for 45 years. He has managed to slow the progression of my MS enough to keep me out of a wheelchair. He makes himself available via email which is extremely convenient. He does both in-person and tele health appointments. He is always up to date on the latest developments and research. I will, and have, referred other people I know with MS to Dr. G.

This doctor keeps himself well-informed and says current on all the research. He applies what he knows to the patient's situation. He is extremely intelligent and has a hands-on approach. He has made my life more livable.

Have been going to Dr Guarnaccia for 4 years now. He didnt shy away getting another MRI or more blood work for a correct diagnosis of MS. Had a Dr. at yale who didnt even want to look at my MRI results even though the radiologist put autoimmune disease. She told me I was too young.
