Dr. John Guzzo is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and general orthopedics. He joined Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute in 2014, shortly after his service as an orthopedic surgeon in the United States Army. As an army major and collegiate athlete, Dr. Guzzo was drawn to the field of sports medicine out of the desire to help others perform and compete at high levels, though his experience in the military has made him well-rounded in orthopedics and provided him with the ability to treat a wide range of conditions and help eliminate pain, restore function, and provide patients with the ability to compete or work again.
Dr. Guzzo completed his undergraduate education at Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania, before attending medical school at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Later, he completed his orthopedic surgery internship and residency training at the Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington, before serving as an orthopedic surgeon at Winn Army Community Hospital in Fort Stewart, Georgia.
When he is not seeing patients, Dr. Guzzo enjoys playing with his children. Outside of orthopedics, his interests include exercise, electronics, and technology.

His PA is wonderful!
Very professional
Dr.Guzzo was very kind and professional!!!
Always a good office visit with Dr. Guzzo and his staff ⚕️
He was very friendly and great with my 7yr old daughter.
Both Dr. Guzzo and his PA Austin are both amazing. Both were very informative and they simplify the explanation so it’s easier to understand with all of the medical terminology that could be confusing. They’re both very welcoming and caring people. Highly recommend them both! Keep up the great work gentlemen!
Dr. Guzzo it’s very friendly and puts my mind at the moment he walks through the door. He’s a great doctor. We’ve had great results my husband and I with everything we’ve had done with him.
He is the best. Had both my knees replaced with the new year and him and Aaron were just the best.
I had a very disappointing and hurtful experience with Dr. Guzzo. Instead of listening to my symptoms or taking my concerns seriously, he dismissed what I was feeling and implied that I was faking my condition. His attitude came across as disrespectful and discriminatory, and I left the appointment feeling humiliated and unheard. No patient should be treated this way, especially when seeking help for real health concerns. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone looking for compassionate or professional care.
Another awesome physician at LBJI!
