Dr. David Aaron Guthman, MD

A big SHOUT OUT to Dr. Guthman and his assistant Diane. Yesterday morning I had surgery and everything went well. Prior to surgery, Dr. Guthman took the time to answer every question I had in detail. I have to admit I'm a wimp when it comes to surgery stuff but he helped me with that too. This morning - very little pain (he said there would be little pain and was right - no pain medicine needed. The OR recovery staff was awesome too - somehow we ended up talking about everything from Pizza to Florida. Bottom line - Dr. Guthman is very knowledgeable with a ton of experience. I can tell he's also a very cool guy. Use him!

The only reason there is 1 star is so I can warn others to write this review. My husband went into the ER with extreme. Pain. A CT was ordered by the hospital and a 6mm kidney stone was found. No one could get him in for a follow up so we found this doctor. A week later he saw him and scheduled surgery to remove the kidney stone. He intubated him and put him under for a surgery during the pandemic with out taking a CT to see for himself if the stone was still in a patient that was not known to him. His nurse called and said my husband was out of surgery and that there was no stone retrieval. They said he must have passed it despite him saying he KNOWS it didn’t. I called the office immediately as I was directed by the recovery nurse to reach the doctor. His PA called me back. I told her I was concerned. I did not understand why they didn’t see after almost 2 weeks if the stone was still there. Even more so that he was a brand new patient coming from an emergency room visit. She told me they based surgery on the “assumption” that it still was. I became irritated and said I am uneasy that his surgery was based on an assumption! She used the word multiple times in the conversation. I told her multiple family members with stones has a scan done preop to find the stones location and other vital reasons. She said she understood my frustration and concerns and that she recommended my husband see one of the family members Urologists for a second opinion. We went to his PMP and they reordered a scan at the same hospital to compare. The stone was not only still there but was the same size and a lot of inflammation behind the stone in the ureter. Now 3 weeks post op my husband is bent over in extreme pain once again with the same stone. This doctor is clearly not reputable by his reviews and we will refuse to pay his bill and will be sending imaging and complaints to Insurance. This is beyond disappointing at this point. This guy should not be practicing medicine. Scary.

I had a nightmare experience from Guthman's impatience during a procedure that cost me an ambulance trip to the hospital and nearly a week in the hospital. Last week I was at my internist's office when a call came in to his nurse. To the caller he said. "Guthman??? Who referred you to Guthman?... ok, I pass this on to the Dr., but he does not or will not recommend Guthman". When the nurse got off the phone, I asked about why my Dr wouldn't recommend Gutham. Then I shared my story. My internists is an excellent Dr who works out of the same hospital as Guthman. Finally, I know staff at NCH hospital. And guess who is off their list of Drs to see? That's right! Guthman - you want a good Dr? Go to the one that the other Drs, nurses or other patient care workers go to.

I had my first appointment two years ago. in a week he did my surgery. I never see time punctual doctor in my life in US. All question answered.

Knows what he’s talking about, gets straight and to the point. No complaints

This doctor really should get no stars. I have seen a lot of doctors but this guy is the worse, I had a routine lab work that was coded wrong by the doctor that I had to pay for. To make a really long story short, I wrote letters, called, emailed, and appealed, and got no where with this doctor or his office. I finally saw him for a check up and confronted him with all my letters, etc. He said he never received any of it! He got red in the face and walked out! I told the office manager not to bill for this visit, and she said nothing. He did bill for it and I was never examined. The written summery he wrote was completely false, and said he did examine me. I have filed fraud with the insurance company. Stay away from this "practice"

He does not take the time to listen to you. Does not give anything more then 5 minutes and he is gone. We will NOT be bringing our mother back to him. I would never recommend him for anyone.

It should have been a red flag to see a urologist that advertises next day appointments. He talks mostly about himself. Wrote prescriptions incorrectly twice and then doesn't respond to pharmacy requests for clarification. Dealing with his office staff was a nightmare.

VERY CAPABLE DOC

The worst part is he charged me $343 for a second opinion the first only cost $150!

Don't understand these negative reviews. Dr. G. treats me like a relative, very positive and supportive during a very troubling time for me. His assistant(now retired ) always got me in to see him, sometimes on very short notice and he always called me back promptly. Going on 11 years as his patient.

very difficult to track down; still has my results from my first biopsy as far as I know.

My wife entered Guthman's practice and since then her treatment consisted of constant antibiotics, flip flopping antibiotics, ignoring our calls, etc.

Dr Guthman is an excellent physician. He spent time with me reviewing my medical information and discussing my concerns. He was quick and accurate in his diagnosis. He told me what I needed to know, not what I wanted to hear. The entire experience was excellent.

Dr. Guthman along with his staff have been rude and unhelpful in every regard of my treatment. I have been hung up on and ignored when attempting to contact the doctor regarding my treatment and upcoming surgery.I have not been allowed to speak to Dr. Guthman. I have been forced to direct all of my medical concerns to his assistant.

Dr Guthman treated me and has cured my illness through an operation. It was more successful than I expected. I have been cancer free for 6 years.
