Approach to Treating Patients
Partnership
“When treating patients, I believe it’s important for physicians to form a partnership with their patients. My goal is to provide patients with all the resources they need to make informed decisions with respect to their care, and this takes listening, conversing, and connecting. I want my patients to understand all aspects of their care, and no question or concern is too small.”
Individualization
“Foot and Ankle conditions can be complex and there is no “one size fits all.” My goal is to treat patients with nonoperative treatment whenever possible, whether this entails bracing, customized orthotics, or therapy. When surgery is needed, my patients will be treated to their individual needs with the goal of getting them back to doing the things they love, whether this is taking a walk or going back to playing competitive sports.”

This is the most friendly doctor who really took interest in my ongoing problems. Hopefully his prescriptions will lead the way to painfree future!
Dr. Guzman is the finest doctor I have been to because he listened to me and explained clearly my diagnosis of bursitis. I told him I feared needles and he handled the necessary shot of cortisone so perfectly that I had no pain. He was so kind and attentive that I asked him if I could hug him as a thank you. I love his personality and his kindness.
