Great doctor. He is not very likely to listen to patient but it is his way or no other.

I have seen Dr. Guyton and I cannot say enough good things about him without having to write a5 page review. HE is very caring and also the best doctor in the world. If you google him you will see that he is one of if not the top Doctor in his field of the world. People come to see him from far distances. I live in CA and flew to see im in MD.
