How likely are you to recommend Dr. Guillen?
I am 52, live on Long Island and have had needed a few surgeries in my life. In nearly every case in the past I would use a long Island dr. to diagnose my issue and if surgery is recommended, I would typically go find the best rated surgeon in NYC. I have this idea that is where the best of the best surgeons can be found. That said and with the same mindset, in October 2022 I hurt my arm pretty bad. Living just 1/8th of a mile from Dr. Guilian's office it's a place I pass multiple times a day. Called up on a Thursday, spoke to his receptionist, explained my issue and she set up an appointment to meet him the following Monday. Later that afternoon his receptionist called me back and told me Dr Guilian wanted me to get a standard x-ray of my elbow and forearm and gave me a script. I did so the next day. When I met with him that Monday, he had confirmed that the x-ray was fine and then he proceeded to but me through a series of motion tests while pressing my arm at different points. He said he believed I had a moderate to severe partially torn bicep tendon and wanted me to confirm via an MRI. I went for the MRI and a few days after I got my approval and shortly after I met again with Dr. Guilian to review. The MRI confirmed exactly what he suspected, moderately torn bicep tendon.??He explained in such a deep level of detail what it all meant and how he would fix it, how long the recovery would take and best of all if I did all he said I would be back to 100% in a couple short months. He was extremely confident in his explanations. Awkwardly enough after that I told him I prefer surgeons from NYC and that I would probably seek at minimum a second opinion. He actually replied that not only he thought a second opinion is a smart thing to get but he encouraged it. Some other doctors would have been offended by that. I left his office and over the next couple days I digested my overall experience with him till that point, comparing my previous surgeon experiences to his. I realized then I was beyond impressed with him, and I kept thinking that he was as detailed as confident and as convincing than any prior surgeon I ever used in the past, but he was much more personal and likable. So, I decided to call his office and seal the deal, no second opinion, no trip to NYC, none of that. I was shocking myself and my wife actually. I grabbed his business card to call over book the surgery and noticed this guy actually puts his cell phone number on his business card. I was blown away by that. Giving his patients that type of access to him is a next level experience for me. Day of surgery, He spent about 15 minutes in the pre op with me to go over everything, set recovery expectations and shared some small talk and jokes that really relaxed me as I was nervous as could be, he must have picked up on that and gave me extra attention. Post op, I wake up in recovery and there is a nurse and DR Guilian right next to me. He gives me a full recap of how the surgery went in his opinion and goes over some post op reminders of what I need to do over the next few days and weeks. At home recovering I had some questions along the way in advanced of my follow up appointment about how I was feeling at certain times, so I texted him, and he responded, quickly and told me all I needed to know to quell any concerns. I am currently 8 weeks out at this point and my arm is 100% pain free and I have 100% full range of motion and that is a few weeks ahead of the expectations he set for me. I could not be happier that I trusted my instincts and used Dr Guilian to fix my bicep, but it was not all instinct, his bedside manner, professionalism, and his knowledge of my injury made the decision for me very easy. I encourage anyone who is considering using Dr. Guilian's service to do not hesitate to set up your appointment. James H from Huntington
