    Dr. Listened and explained very well for questions asked.

  • Jun 1, 2026

    As I mentioned earlier, Dr. Guyton is great! I would happily refer him to a stranger, family and friends, if the subject comes up.

  • May 20, 2026

    Dr. Guyton listened to my concerns, took an additional xrays, informed me that swelling could last for a year after surgery and scheduled a followup appointment for August. I left feeling very confident that my healing was progressing and that I was in good hands should anything go awry.
