I have been a patient of Dr LaGuardia’s since 2012 and he is a fantastic physician. Unfortunately the staff has gone very down hill. He is a very busy man but makes sure I understand everything that’s going on. He talks to me like a human, not medical terms I do not understand.

Have worked with him and been his patient since he started his practice. He is a great physician and person. If he retires I will be really really mad at him :)

Dr. LaGuardia has always made time for me when I need to see him. He is easy to talk to and makes sure I understand what he is saying to me. He also knows his limits and will refer to a specialist when needed.

He has been my doctor for almost 20 years. He is friendly, approachable and listens to my concerns. Although he is busy, and not always timely, he will address any issues I have. Several of my medical issues have been persistent and we have tried many different treatments, medicines, etc., and he has never given up on me. He utilizes cutting edge lab testing and is well educated. It is because of this knowledge and early detection that he referred me to an oncologist very early on.
