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.”

Excellent, Dr Guzman is very personable and knowledgeable!
The absolute best I’ve seen in years.
Dr. Guzman is wonderful. Very thorough.and tries using the best method before using the most extreme method.
I had hip replacement surgery. Dr Guzman is a genius. In 2 weeks, I'm up and walking with no pain. The nurse that removed the staples, was amazing, smiling and happy I was nervous and she calmed me right down. A wonderful experience. Thank you all!!!
Dr Guzman is fabulous. Took the time to talk to me and is so nice, very professional. Diagnosed my issue and it was a huge relief. I would highly recommend if you need a foot surgeon.
