Dr Guyton is very skilled and knowledgeable about hip replacements. He gave me confidence in his surgery and recovery. Physical Therapy has been a great resource in healing.
Kind and caring. He was ready to get my knee fix so the pain would end.
Dr. Guyton is a very gifted surgeon. He is kind and caring and answers all questions. His bedside manner is excellent because he wants his patients to be thoroughly informed.

Dr. Guyton performed hip replacement on me in 2013 and I have had no problems. I look forward to having my knee replaced by Dr. Guyton with 100% success and the ability to walk normally again. He listened and then explained the best options for me.
Dr was very good. Like him.
