one year ago I sustained a fracture of the c3 vertebrae while body surfing-not a smart thing. It was a Saturday and Dr Guan explained the options to me and the folks I was traveling with. He was so thorough and patient. He explained my injury and said a fusion of the c2, c3 and c4 was what was needed. He had the key members of the surgical team ready to perform the surgery on a Sunday morning and that is what happened, and it was a complete success. I don't have the words to say how thankful I am to have had such an excellent care provider as he followed up and was so personable. Thank you again.

Dr. Guan’s dedication to his patients' well-being is evident in his willingness to promptly respond to messages and provide ongoing support. From the initial consultation to post-surgery follow-ups, he took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer all of my questions, and address any concerns. He made me feel at ease throughout the entire process, and I always felt like I was in capable hands. This level of care and attention is truly remarkable and made a significant difference in my overall experience.I can confidently say that Dr. Guan is not only a highly skilled surgeon but also a compassionate and communicative healthcare professional.

Dr Guan spent quality time with us and answered absolutely every question without hesitation or pressure. After having such a specific medical procedure I had tremendous fears and Dr Guan addressed each one specifically and with extreme knowledge and understanding. He made me feel I have a great chance of getting better and this is because of his expertise.
