Hip repair .. didn’t need to replace socket but he did and when my hip went out twice he had to go in and put a cup on it because the socket was put In crooked. Also had darkening of skin around incision. Had to go to dermatologist to fix that .. condescending attitude

Dr. Guild showed so much caring, as did his wonderful PA. I went through some difficult times, and had a knee replaced along with both hips (at different times) all in 1 year. I now have NO pain, am able to walk well, go to exercise class and be back to normal, thanks to his expertise. I think the world of him and his PA!

I don't know how Dr. Guild or his staff could improve. The quality of care provided by the Doctor and his staff is exemplary. His P.A. always returned phone calls the same day. I will eventually have to have my other hip replaced. I cannot imagine allowing anyone to perform the surgery.
