Eric Marquez-Guerra, MD

It’s hard to put into words what Dr. Marquez means to our family, but I’ll try—because people deserve to know what kind of doctor he really is. My wife has lived with endometriosis her entire life. Since she was a kid, her pain was brushed off, minimized, or explained away with birth control prescriptions. For years she knew something wasn’t right, but no one truly listened… until the day she met Dr. Marquez. From the very first appointment, he did something no other doctor ever did: he listened. Really listened. He took his time, asked questions, and treated her pain as something real—not an inconvenience, not an exaggeration, not “normal.” After a thorough consult, he said something no one had ever said to her before: “I think you may have endometriosis. Let’s take a closer look and help you.” Instead of pushing IVF—which every other doctor made sound like our only option—he suggested a diagnostic surgery. He didn’t rush us. He didn’t pressure us. He supported us. During the… surgery he removed the endometriosis and cleared her tubes. Two months later, after two years of heartbreak and negative tests… we were pregnant. That baby was our miracle, but the truth is: Dr. Marquez made that miracle possible. And then came the birth. Halfway through the pregnancy, my wife developed preeclampsia. When it came time to deliver, she pushed for hours. It became clear something wasn’t right. Dr. Marquez—on his day off—came in, took over, and immediately advocated for her. Within minutes, we pivoted to a c-section. He performed it himself, again on his day off. Our daughter entered the world safely because he refused to leave anything to chance. He didn’t just deliver our baby. He saved my wife. He saved our daughter. He saved our family. Now, a year later, we’re somehow just 3 short weeks away from welcoming our second baby—again with Dr. Marquez by our side. And even writing this, I get emotional because we know how differently our story could have gone if we hadn’t found him. Every woman deserves a doctor like Dr. Marquez—someone who listens, who believes them, who takes their pain seriously, who treats them like a human being and not a number. Someone who shows up even on his day off because he cares that much. We are forever indebted to him. I don’t say that lightly. He changed the entire trajectory of our lives. There are good doctors, great doctors… and then there is Dr. Marquez—an absolute blessing and a true guardian angel in scrubs. If you’re looking for someone who will advocate for you, fight for you, and walk with you every step of the way, this is the doctor you hope to find. We will never stop being grateful for him.
