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.

Dr. Guancial is an exceptional GU Oncologist
Although I would never mind having to wait to see Dr. Guancial, on this occasion I was seen right away with no delays whatsoever. As always, she was cheerful, friendly and extremely well prepared on my long history with advanced prostate cancer. I can discuss anything with her and know that I'll be getting the best advice anyone could give on my prognosis and treatment. IMO, she is the best GU medical oncologist in all of FL.

Excellent and Compassionate Doctor
Dr. Guancial is a very thorough and professional physician. After reviewing records , she ordered a scan to verify a recurrence of prostate cancer and presented a treatment plan. She has implemented that plan and monitors the outcome. I shudder to think what would have happened without her.
