The best have two new knees from him
He is truly amazing!! His PA usually gives the knee injections and she is really good, however Dr Guyton did mine today and I truly did NOT feel it!!
Great patient/ doctor relationship
GREAT doctor. He listened to my concerns and explained my condition and treatment options.
Excellent care.
Always thorough, kind and helpful.
Very nice and everyone was nice
Dr Guyton was available for reassurance that my knee is stable and should not give out when walking. I now know that the problem with my knee stems from the fact that this foot turns out when I walk or sleep. We are totally thankful for Dr Guyton and his knee replacement surgeries for both of my husband’s knees and both of mine.
Knowledgeable, caring, listens well, and takes next steps to improve orthopedic issues.
He was very nice and helpful.
