I recommend this practice 100%.”
“I highly recommend Dr Guarino! After struggling for years I finally decided to schedule a consultation for breast reduction. I did a lot of research and decided to make an appointment with Dr Guarino. I had never been to a consultation like this before and did not know what to expect so I was nervous. Immediately Dr Guarino and staff made me feel comfortable. They are super knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional and answered all of my questions. Dr Guarino is seriously the most genuinely kind and caring doctor I’ve ever met which made me even more excited to go forward with the surgery. The day of surgery came quickly after the consultation. I was extremely nervous but every single nurse and anesthesiologist at the hospital assured me that he was the best and they said that “he does works of art”. And they were right, he was so calm and comforting and did an amazing job! I am so much happier than I than I ever expected, everything looks great and I feel amazing! I am so grateful for Dr Guarino!”
