Dr Guerin was kind and a good listener. I would definitely recommend him.

My first visit with Dr.Guerin was good, the second visit was not so good. He barely spent any time with me. He didn't want to test T3 & T4 since my primary care doctor did the TSH. I was not comfortable with assuming they'd be ok. He ALWAYS asks if I watched the movie "Forks over Knifes" - yes, I have and yes, I eat properly. Perhaps I need to have a lower TSH than the average to lose weight? Not everyone fits into one mold.

Ive Dr Guerin several times now for a thyroid problem that has been very complicated. I trust his judgment and care completely. I double check everything he says by researching medical websites because I have a general lack of trust in Doctors and he has been spot on in everything he has told me. Besides being a great Doctor he is kind and compassionate and I feel he truly cares about his patients.Highly recomended!

Staff could use a little education on "Courtsey". As for the Doctor I have nothing but "Kudo's". Thanks for the excellent care.

I really like Dr Guerin. I only switched to another specialist because my insurance changed and I couldnt afford to pay straight out of pocket to stay with him. He gave me lots of literature on my diagnosis, talked to me about my options and made me feel like more than a name on a chart.

Charged $300. for a missed appt when medical records had not yet reaached their office, even though a call had been nade to notify them that I would not be able to make said appt due to non receipt of medical records.And this was to see the Physicians Assistant NOT the doctor himself!
