Dr. John F Guarino, MD

IF YOU HAVE C 1-2 ISSUES AND OCCIPITAL ISSUES DO NOT GO TO HIM. I NOW HAVE BULGING DISCS AND PINCHES NERVES BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME AT ALL. And whomever did my intubation is also to blame. I EXPLAINED IN DETAIL EXACTLY WHAT FRAGILE NECK AND OCCIPITAL-NEURALGIA IS AND HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO BE CAREFUL WITH MY NECK. 1. I warned everyone in pre-surgery and at all appointments of my fragile neck. 2. They could have spray stretched me to avoid what happened 3. Admitted 3 days post op with vomiting blood which was a clot that apparently dissolved itself. 4. They blame severe shoulder pain and inability to move left side on trapped gas from lap surgery without doing a CT of the abdominal cavity to check for that. He GUESSED. then literally dropped me as a patient . 5. Released with some bogus b.s. diagnosis. 6. READMITTED 2 days later in the worst pain ever. Never was trapped gas. 7. He tore my muscles in my back up which caused my fragile neck to pinch no less than 7 nerves. 8.… Now 2 surgeries later I've SOD issues added in. Sphincter of oddi. Because the opiods I'm on from him ripping my neck and back up. 9. The gallbladder wasn't even bad when he took it out so I'm going through all this and the gallbladder pain is still there without the gallbladder. 10. Don't go to him if you've any neck issues or clotting issues. He doesn't understand what clotting issues are and how to avoid return hospital stays. He's got a 61% return rate after gall surgery because he refuses to LISTEN to the patient. 11. He ruined me and there's nothing I can or will do about it. But I will say.. DON'T GO TO HIM. 1 wrong move and I'm paralyzed for life from my c1 down. I won't press charges but he isn't a good surgeon. No surgeon that doesn't care for the neck is. Permanently damaged. 6 grand for trigger point injections every 2 months for the rest of my life. Possible Permanent bile damage.

had hernia surgery 11 weeks ago and he told me after 4 weeks i would be good to go..not even close the case..wrote me off saying nobody has needed 6 weeks to recover..well im no where 100%...and after the surgery he doesn't care one bit look for somebody else in a bigger city..he almost cost me my job..saying im good after 6 weeks to lift 50 pounds..would never go back or talk to this guy..once he gets aid he don't care one bit...

Dr Guarino removed my gallbladder 4 weeks ago, he did a fantastic job and I have had no problems since the surgery. I highly reccommend him.

At first, I wasn't sure what to think, But realized that what I took as being short was Dr. Guarino empasising the need to get the ball rolling for my recovery from cancer. All I can say is thank you!
