Dr. Guerra was my surgeon while she was practicing in Muskogee, Oklahoma. We were introduced when I was admitted through the ER with a perforated bowel and an abscess. She was the greatest thing that ever happened to MRMC. They needed a great surgeon like her. I was hospitalized for almost a month and I will tell you that the nursing staff adored Dr. Guerra. When the nurses like you that much, you know you must be doing something right. Two thumbs up and I'll greatly miss the assurance I had knowing she was working at the hospital I utilize. I love you, Dr. Guerra, you saved my life!!!
