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.

He was wonderful! Explained everything perfectly. I felt very comfortable! Highly recommend.

Felt like I didn't receive quality care . Was in office less than 5 minutes. And he just referred me to another surgeon that treats the same conditions as he does . Is he not capable? Or I feel he just didn't care . All I will say is that I was extremely disappointed. Would not recommend

Patient at Missouri Baptist hospital.
Unfortunately I required immediate surgery on a hernia in my stomach. Dr. Guerra was on call that night. I was blessed because not familiar with him I asked the nurses and they all said he is the best. I am in total agreement. Made constant visit to me everyday and very kind and caring. He kept saying I want you to leave in good shape. Great personality and bedside manners. I am very impressed and in agreement with all of the nurses.

Exactly what you want in a doctor. To the point, detailed with instructions on what he will be doing in surgery and confident in his decisions/plan. Easy to have trust in this doctor. Highly Suggest.
