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. Guarino is a straight forward Dr. that wastes no time waiting on needed surgeries, etc. He is to the point and tells you how it is with no surprises.. Excellent bedside manner. I would recommend him to anyone and I wouldn't go to anyone else and I wouldn't go to any other facility than Murdock Surgery Center.

I went to see Dr Guarino as an urgent visit. The staff fit me ASAP. They were so wonderful & pleasant. My visit with him was very professional & helpful. He took his time even though he had to close his office early that day due to a bad tropical storm. Highly recommend him & his staff!

I Had the pleasure of having Dr Guarino perform my surgery , (hernia), and when complications set in , Dr Guarino was right there each and every minute until everything turn out great. A true skilled professional hands down, compassionate, and a perfectionist, anyone would be well served to have Dr Guarino as their Surgeon. After care and office staff are absolutely fantastic, professional, courteous, and very interested in your well being. Highly recommended.

Bad experience since not only him but the staff were rude, I had an endoscopy because I had really bad symptoms such as nausea, palpitations, heart burn, stomach cramps, chest pain, etc. He said he couldn't anything but a small hernia hiatal, that I needed to take omeprazole, he said I didn't have gastritis but after the biopsy was taken to the lab it showed that I had chronic gastritis, he didn't help me at all, I had to go to an specialist to find out that also I had gastroparesis.
