Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Stay away! He is rude and tries to act like a former fantastic doctor! Treat nurses rudely!!! Again stay away!!!

Dr guthrie and his staff were very thorough in diagnosing my condition and explaining everything. They saw the severeness of the situation, recommended and performed surgery which basicly saved my life. Care was excellent.

Terrible, terrible Dr! Very rude! Was referred to him by another Dr in the area. Looking for answers to a health issue, my husband was told by Dr Guthrie, to just go home and live with it, wasn't going to get any better, in fact would only get worse! No compassion what so ever! Can't express how terrible this experience was. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy!!

Dr. Guthrie did surgery on me after another surgeon that I trusted with my life left behind some things that weren't suppose to be there & I ended up with MRSA & e Coli infection. I have been seeing him through the wound care clinic for over 6mths; he's a man of few words but if it wasn't for him I would likely be dead! The day he did surgery I was scared to death after going through all I had already been through but he made sure I was wll taken care of and that my pain was managed! Thank you!
