It is a shame i see negative comments about Dr. Guriand she is a great doctor , I have never had a problem with her and I have seen her for over a year. She can be talked to with ease and will gladly answer any questions I may have.

I've been going to see Dr. Guirand for 6 months for my chronic back pain. She is really nice, compassionate doctor. I think it's unfair how people make quick judgments on people and post them online without any concern. It must be so hard to be a doctor this day and age! I would always go back to her for my care.

Don't know what all the negative comments are about, we came into the urgent care and were amazed at how beatiful the office is. Dr. Guirand took great care of us and she did seem very sympathetic. She's great with kids! WE will be back and will recommend this facility to friends and family.

Dr. Guirand is a nice person, but her professionalism is terrible. She misdiagnosed me, then removed the original diagnosis from my medical records.She has also sent me running around her office to see other Dr.s and run unnecessary tests. Patient Beware!

I was quite disappointed with the lack of follow through with this office and particularly Dr. Guirand. Instead of trying to run tests and diagnose what was wrong with me, she unnecessarily referred me to other doctors within the practice which was a complete waste of time and money. Her office read me the wrong results and had me worried for more than a week that I had a fatal heart condition, which I do not!! I am seeking another doctor and warn you that it is very difficult to get in touch with this doctor when you have an issue because she goes between 3 different offices.
