Dr. Rico Anthony Guerra, MD

had to wait but was because he was called to help with an operation. Everyone was very professional, explained what I was to expect and took good care.

This fella does not prescribe medications. All he cares about is giving you injections about 2-3 weeks after your consultation visit. So that means suffering before and after the injections,because his injections do not work. No one should waste their time with this fella

My first visit should of been my warning not to waste my time, I waited literally 2 hrs. in the office. You see the dr. then you make apt for injection then see the dr. a month later for follow up then schedule apt for injection you keep repeating this nasty cycle. Each time I waited on the dr. for my appts. which you have to arrive 1 hr. early for injections and 30 mins. early for dr. followup. I was literally 5 mins. late for a follow up due to traffic, bad weather and having severe knee issues with no close parking, the dr left. I have literally waited for hrs for him and I was 5 mins. late for my 30 min. prior apt time. Talk about upset, I never went back. I put up with horrible painful injections he NEVER EVER could control the pain or sedate me, I was totally aware and felt every single needle. The nurses that do the IV's are so rough and painful. You feel like you are a herd of cattle stuck in a small area in a chair with no privacy and rushed into the 'room' for injection and… rushed out. They do not even try to be gentle when inserting the IV's. Am I upset with this dr. yes. he charged my insurance $5,500.00 for each injection to my knees. $500 followup visit. This is such a scam. He does 21 of this procedures a day, they are on a list posted on the door of the 'room'. Conscious sedation he never could get me to that point. I had at least 6 of these injections in less than 9 mths and to no avail or help. I found a new pain management dr he knew I was terrified to go through another treatment. He is the first dr. to EVER get me into conscious sedation and to top it off his injection worked, he was so sweet and said he was my dr. now and I am in good hands. It is upsetting to know that Dr. G is charging so much money for this injection my current dr. charges half and my knee surgeon well he charged 25% of what Dr. G to do major surgery on my knees. People mentioned how the staff seem like they want to be somewhere else that is true. FYI the music is always blaring in the back where injections are done. His bed side manner, he is a know it all and does not 'listen'. I was so upset on my first visit after waiting 2 hrs. to walk by and see him on the internet looking at cars!!!! Only one person can I give raves to and that is the front office staff member Ryan is a sweetheart and so kind. I saw this dr., from the fall of 2013 through summer of 2014. The time he takes with you is less than 5 minutes and he does not look you in the eye. Why did I go back time and time again because I thought it would work and I was researching to find a new dr the wrong way. My back dr put me onto my current pain mang dr. so nice no loud music the staff OMG so lovely.

My wife went to his office today to receive injections in her lower back. The doc hit the nerves and now she is in severe pain. While sitting there in pain there was another patient that something happened to her and as they rushed her to get a ct scan other members were talking about her in negative ways. The staff seemed to be more worried about what they are going to do after work than helping out the patients. Didn't wait for the meds to kick in my wife felt the whole procedure being done. The staff should be a little bit more professional. It seemed like they couldn't wait to get her out of the office. And I forgot the nurse that was holding the IV was walking so fast that she almost ripped it out of my wifes hand.

A very educated and informative doctor. He explains everything very well and detailed.
